Re: "Then who pays for defense, roads, law enforcement, education, etc. etc. etc.?" Why, we the people pay, of course. Re: "You dont seem to want to pay" I can't imagine how you imagine that, not so. It is not as if I should be forced to pay for low-choice solutions determined and administered by government. It's not as if government must or even ought to be the conduit to an end in matters of my welfare. Re: "it's the working middleclas who have to pay the most. Not fair" The rich don't work? The rich don't provide incredible know-how to us all? The rich don't exist in much smaller numbers than the middle class? The rich don't pay higher rates than the middle class? Don't lie, ok? You are talking, basically, about relative conditions which have existed for some LONG time through many Presidents, or so it seems to me(just remember this as you consider if something dramatic has or will really change with Bush as President).
