RE:" I'm pretty sure that the founders of our country recognized the need for taxes." "Yes but I think they would have been against imposing the same level of federal taxation that we have now." The federal income tax didn't come into being until 190X. It was 2%. The founding fathers were long dead. OTOH, CLinton pardoned a guy would supposedly bilked the IRS and American taxpayers out of 48 MILLION dollars...fled the country, renounced his citizenship to become a citizen of Bolivia,got caught smuggling supoenaed documents out of the country, lives and skis in Switzerland and runs a $30 BILLION from there... Because? his wife contributed to the DNC and "excessively" to the Clinton library... At the same time Clint signed laws preventing US citizens from leaving the country. And Clinton was ballyhooing about a tax break for the rich? Words cannot descibe the scumminess of the Clintons.
