Government is taxing no matter where you live

Message:

If you've got to tax, then who do you tax? Not you, nor me, but that fella behind the tree.

I think that the best taxes are the ones that don't have to be paid, and those that are paid will be paid by those who can afford it the most.

But that may sound a little too left wing, huh? It turns out that there doesn't have to be a big argument about this, but the argument isn't ever really necessary after all. It is the device of politicians.
