    I like the idea of paying taxes, I just hate that I’m paying a larger percentage of my “wealth” than someone whose net worth is several orders of magnitude more.

    The other side of that is when I see someone using a service that my tax dollars are paying for I feel pretty good.

  Here’s a quote I stumbled across a couple decades ago.

  I like paying taxes. With them I buy civilization.

    Here is a longer excerpt from the opinion by Holmes:1

    It is true, as indicated in the last cited case, that every exaction of money for an act is a discouragement to the extent of the payment required, but that which in its immediacy is a discouragement may be part of an encouragement when seen in its organic connection with the whole. Taxes are what we pay for civilized society, including the chance to insure.

      No representation, no taxation. I don’t see no representation, do you?

    I enjoyed Civ 5 but I never played the other ones except the OG. I trust that 2 - 4 and any ones they have released since 5 are decent as well.

    It’s easier if you’re a Catholic church. Children take less space and you’re already experienced being into them.
