I know of some Brits that came to America, first hated it, but then realized that America > England. 'nuff said.

I hate my government. I hate the state that it is in. We care too much about national safety when it'd be easy enough to be safe within our borders if we stopped pointless wars in the Middle East. I don't receive welfare, social security, so I should not have to be paying for that, at all. I don't benefit from Homeland Security, regardless of what Bush tries to say. Even if I did, I don't want the service, and I certainly don't want to pay for it.

If others benefit from me paying taxes like tax on gasoline, fine. I really don't care. However, I shouldn't be paying for services I don't receive. Period.

Basically, When I start paying taxes I'll be happy I'm helping my fellow country men/women. I'm in no way patriotic, but when they get a job and I receive some of their money when I'm down on my luck for work, it's a win win situation, However, I don't agree giving drug addicts my money to feed their habit, or others that piss their money on alcohol, I'd rather they shape up and get a job, or get an education then try and get a job, at least they're trying to which I'll be happy about.

However, I don't agree with everything being taxed, Certain stuff is overtaxed here, I'll admit it, I don't buy stuff that costs £300 @ RRP, because then I'll have to pay extra on tax, so I guess thinking about what you're buying saves you dosh.

You'll be paying for services that you'll benefit from in soon time, And if not, your family might, children (If you somehow end up with them in later time), etc.

But.. I have to ask, How does tax come into the factor of "Being free" ?

Besides, if you truly want to be "free", Learn to control all your emotions, then when you're not emotionally motivated, that's when you'll truly be free, but that's just philosophy, so you don't have to agree with that.

Presence is a curious thing, if you think you need to prove it... you probably never had it in the first place.
