but I didn't claim that high taxes are ilegitimate or unconstitutional but rather that they are unjust And I'm suggesting that "unjust" is not the appropriate word. If they're legitimate, they're just. They may be self-defeating, stupid, wrongheaded, infuriating, or painful, but they aren't unjust. We solve problems best when we carefully define them. Focusing on in the alleged injustice of taxes just makes you angry and doesn't solve anything. Better to press for greater efficiency in government spending or in the elimination of programs you don't think warrant the collection of taxes. Karen
