Paying Our Government Bills is the Moral Thing to do

   I believe that if you buy something, you really ought to pay for it. It doesn't matter if you are a family, a business or a government, the principle is the same. So, it being April 15 and tax day and all, I think it appropriate we consider whether we should be so resistive towards paying our taxes.
   If we think our government is purchasing too many things, then surely we ought to be demanding it cut way back on its spending. But, once the spending is past tense, once the items are purchased, then we should stand behind the effort to get the bills paid. It is a matter of integrity. Why would it not be a matter of integrity? If paying our household bills is the moral thing to so, why isn't this, also?
