Suppose that taxes are too high. But if you reduce taxes... what functions of government do you want to give up?



How about the personal proerty tax in some places? You pay a tax when you earn the money, one one you purchase merchandise, and then another to the govt for simply having the property. In some parts of the world this is called extortion.

How about the marriage penalty? Penalizing people for getting together to start a family!

How about doing away with the death tax? Death is a taxable event? Usually taxable events are caused by rational deciions one makes and that one has control over. This certainly is not fair to those who may lose the family business so that some politician can fund his entitlement program.
