People think of taxes as money just being robbed from you. They don't consider the benefits of paying taxes. The benefits that they get and also the benefit of just being a part of a large group of people: a town, or a city, or a country, or a society that allegedly should stand together and all try to help each other.

In theory, taxes should be like shopping. What I buy is government services. What I pay are my taxes.

Nobody is opposed to paying taxes; governments need to coordinate, work together and simplify the law.

I pay my taxes.

I think it's a little unfair for people to say you're not paying your fair share of taxes. I'm paying what I'm supposed to pay. Change the law, and I'll pay what I'm supposed to pay.

We don't pay taxes. Only the little people pay taxes.

I don't mind paying the taxes I pay, which is pretty considerable.

It's a privilege to pay taxes. Yeah! It's not a political question, folks. We have to pay for stuff.

I am opposed to any individual taxes until we eliminate all of the unconstitutional agencies, and I suspect we wouldn't need a tax after that.
