It appears as though we have input from one of those great American patriots who believe that taxes are akin to terrorism.

The Ron Paulists who are firmly convinced that any form of government spending is a form of thievery from the populace.

These people are unable to connect the fact that roads and schools and fire departments etc. are appropriate endeavors for a government to perform.

They are also the contingent that keeps America from developing beyond a mercantile 19th century philosophy that of course becomes apoplectic at the suggestion that health care should be a legitimate service by governments funded by "shudder" taxes.

This commitment to opposing any and all forms of taxation will lead the adherents to vote for an imbecile as long as he says what they want to hear.

(See presidential elections, US-2000 and 2004.)

America will choke to death on its own greed if these folks continue to succeed.
