One issue at a time. If you agree with me in principle, then we can start discussing proper implementation of the goals...Are we in agreement then? Or do you have an objection to my being able to prevent the government from using my money on major undertakings I disagree with?

I fear you misunderstand. I don't think we should give the government more than enough to defend the country from attack, to defend our allies, and to build roads, schools and other necessary infrastructure. I believe All buildings should be taxed at the same rate including churches, and I believe that all taxes should be consumption taxes. I also don't believe in estate taxes, capital gains taxes, or any of the way governments steal from us. I don't believe any politician who does not work full time should be paid either. Nor do I think that politicians deserve pensions at taxpayer expense.

Now where did you want to start this discussion?
