Is paying your taxes a patriotic thing?
I know it isn't considered such. Some of us even think it patriotic to oppose paying taxes, because Uncle Sam doesn't deserve the money, won't spend it wisely, or whatever.
And, some of us thinking it shows we are wise, prudent citizens if we save ourselves from paying anything we don't have to to the government.
We talk of how we shouldn't want to elect a candidate if he or she can't handle his or her money so wisely as to avoid unnecessary taxes.
I disagree.
We think it good to give to charities. We think it good to give to college athletics. We think it good to give to a lot of things. Why not to America?
Why is it America is the one thing that isn't worth giving to? Why is it that America is the one thing we all say we love, yet none of us would toss so much as an extra dollar to?
