Yes, that's true. But some taxes are more principled (or less unprincipled) than others.

Income taxes are confiscatory. Taxes on "unearned" income (such as capital gains, interest and dividends, etc.) also discourage and penalize the creation of wealth. Both are anti-Ameican under the original concept of America.

Ah yes, it's the "I should decide when the laws do and don't apply to me" excuse. If you had obeyed the law you wouldn't have a ticket. Assuming the signs were the legally required size and placement (and if they weren't you can beat the ticket) they would be hard to ignore if you were paying proper attention to your driving. If you didn't notice them it's likely you were doing something wrong other than speeding. But of course you're one of those people who shouldn't have the law applied to you, not one of those other people who deserve to get caught when they break the law.
