Stop it.

Let it go.

It's a tired meme.

Government, contrary to what many would have you believe, is not evil. It is not always good, but it is not, in its current incarnation, evil.

Taxes are not theft. They are the dues you pay for civilization. Civilization is guarded by good, or average, government. I like civilization. I like roads, and the Internet, and emergency services, and medical research. I like the things that have made my life better than 99.9 percent of humanity that has preceded me. So I pay my taxes and want government to continue. I want laws that protect the weak and powerless from the predations and neglects of the strong and powerful.

I just hate feeling like I'm screaming this into the wind.
