What so the government should borrow money to pay for the military that protects you? Should they borrow the money to pay for your kid's education? They should borrow the money to maintain our nation's highways? Shouldn't you earn those services rather than have them just given to you?Keeping what belongs to you is not "mooching," asshole.It is very wrong. People who cheat on their taxes are the real moochers in this country.By evasion, I am referring to:
1) Doing legal maneuvers which are designed only to not pay taxes, such as setting up trusts, moving to Canada, lease/buyback deals, that sort of thing. They are legal, but are done only to not pay taxes and for no other reason.
2) Doing grey legal maneuvers which are judgement calls. If you fight the IRS and lose, you are going to pay back taxes and interest, but probably not penalties.
By cheating, I am referring to overtly illegal maneuvers such as not declaring income.
Paying one's taxes is part of being an American citizen.
Government shouldn't pay for any of those things. It should be abolished. People should pay for their children to be educated, not expect the government to do it.. Highways should be built by private companies, just like cell phone towers or grocery stores.
