Regarding the Tragedy in Texas

[akitrom]

I've read a few essays on Joe Stack, the man who rammed his plane into a civilian building. In light of Mr. Stack's daughter appearing on Good Morning America and proclaiming her father a hero and a patriot, the following response from Jason Shankel sums up my feelings pretty clearly

Have to say I agree. Hey, I had some tax problems myself, once. Y'know who was to blame? The guys posting this. And I resolved it without flying anything into anything. Why? Because I can take responsibility for my actions.

Look, the IRS is there to collect the taxes that the government says we have to pay. Somebody has to pay them. We pay less taxes than most European nations. There ain't no such thing as a free lunch, you know.

This is what I don't understand about the whole teabag movement. Who would these people rather pay these taxes? Their children? Their children? Seems like they never have an answer for that.

Well said.
