It's the fact that it's not Voluntary transaction!! How am I taking advantage of living in a prosperous society... You just assume the alternative to paying crazy high taxes is living in a unsafe place.....you just can't make that assumption... Plus.. if you so happy with it donate some more money to the govTaking advantage of living in a safe prosperous society paid for by taxes while proclaiming taxes as theft is hypocrisy at best, I'd just call it idiocy myself.
I pay for my own health insurance., is that fully deductable or is that included with the personal 24k standard deduction?
