There is the Democrats view in a nutshell. Create a new army of armed tax collectors to intimidate the middle class to cough up more of their hard earned money to the government. Meanwhile the government is bloated with far too many employees and agencies. Countless billions of dollars are lost through Waste fraud and abuse. And now we have a new monster called "Green Energy" that will feed on the middle class.My "fair share" of your welfare check is zero. My fair share of Green Energy programs is zero
Saturday, during an appearance on MSNBC, Rep. Mike Quigley (D-IL) defended the so-called Inflation Reduction Act’s provision to bolster the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) with an additional 80,000 agents.According to Quigley, paying taxes was part of it if one “loved” the country.
A democracy can be just as corrupt and oppressive as any other kind of government.That's the problem with living in a democracy, you don't get to do whatever you want.

Examples of truly wasteful spending of OUR tax dollars!Taxes are an evil.
There are a few legitimate expenses at the Federal level that we all should pay for. Defense, courts, Border Patrol, State Department, etc. Nothing wrong with paying a fuel tax to fund roads.
Everything else, including all those worthless alphabet agencies, are a waste of money.
If somebody think it is my "patriotic duty" to pay taxes that go for a bloated and wasteful government and a welfare state then they are batshit crazy.
How many nations in the world had elections before 1789?
Who decides what rights are protected? You or a majority of the country? See the problem here, your ideology is unrealistic.There is a better form of government. A real Constitutional Republic where the individual has protected rights from the majority using the government to steal and plunder.
They are far worse than just a waste of money. They are an assault on my rights.
The idea that I should be forced to pay for gender reassignment therapy violates every principle of ethical government.
Yeah, that trillion dollar PPP was so well managed with oversightBullshit. The Democrats simply lie to the people on what they are spending on like this phony as hell inflation bill. It's nothing more than throwing away hundreds of billions of dollars on green BS. And when we spend these hundreds of billions of dollars, the envirokooks will simply demand more because climate change is a bottomless money pit.
It sure as hell does. You're lying now.Your denial doesn't reflect reality.
It wouldn't be as bad if the list only including a few idiotic pork items like you mentioned. However, when you look all these wasteful federal agencies and the cost of the bloated welfare state and add in the corruption then we are truly fucked.Examples of truly wasteful spending of OUR tax dollars!

Wrong, asshole. Taxation is theft. Government has no right to take my money.You don't have the right not to pay taxes - that "right" has existed exactly nowhere. Ever.
If you don't want to buy insurance, no one is forcing you.Ever hear of health insurance pools? You don't think you're already paying for someone else's surgeries and illnesses? Like fucking 40-50% of this country's obese - that means at serious risk of diabetes, cancer, organ failure, cardiovascular disease. Probably 100-150 million people, easy. With healthcare costs in the future that will drain their accounts and hospital resources. And insurance companies pay for that, which means you do, too.
No, I object to all of it. I don't want to pay for smokers, alcoholics, teenage mothers, you name it.But you're worried about the teeny, tiny thousandth of a percent of patients who get their gender reassigned.
Okay.
freedom.Do away with democracy? And replace it with what?
Virtually non of it is necessary.It isn't the taxes that are the problem, it's the out-of-control profligate spending on shit that is not necessary and is subject to a ridiculous amount of Fraud, Waste, and Abuse. Especially at a time when we are already fighting problems with inflation and a slow-growth or no-growth economy.
By God, they did. However, that was only about 100 years older.For starters, England.
