Does anyone teach Civics these days?

Taxes are a just responsibility. Our country's infrastructure does not create itself.

I don't think anyone is advocating paying ZERO taxes, but I could be wrong.

Exactly. Apparently the Libby's think this is an all or none game

I believe in a flat tax or a consumption tax... Neither will ever happen in my lifetime.

Republicans had the house, senate and the white house, if they truly believed in lower taxes, they would have made the bush tax cut permanent? A wise friend of mine said one day, money in the hand of legislator is power. You will never have a legislator body (right or left) that will reduce its own power!!

In the meantime, if me paying a little extra would help the country in these tough times, I am willing to do so...

So you want to put those decisions in the hands of the same organization that created todays problems There are more then enough institutions you can privately donate money to that will REALLY help people.

Just use [ quote ] [ /quote ]

and remove the whitespace between the bracket and the word quote.
