The true principle of taxation is the benefit principle - those who benefit from a government service should pay for it. It's also known as the 'user pay' principle. Every effort should be made to link the payment of taxes or fees to the cost associated with the government service.
It is my absolute intent to hold the line on taxes.

America is a land of taxation that was founded to avoid taxation.

For every benefit you receive a tax is levied.
