Most of us don’t especially enjoy paying taxes, of whatever kind.
But we realize that taxes are necessary to provide for our national security and to meet other needs that cannot readily be met by the private sector.
So the issue isn’t so much whether there should be taxes at all, but whether our taxes are spent wisely and according to the limits laid down by the U.S. Constitution.
Too often, of course, they aren’t.
But many people also question whether taxes are levied fairly.
