First, since the US stopped being serious about tariffs, taxes are needed for the common good. The IRS has been under-funded for years and the result(s) is they only go after those accounts that will be easy to collect. read: the accounts of the non-powerful/non-rich. Our founding fathers not only decided not to continue to pay their taxes, but they took action that would have resulted in their death if caught. Almost to a man, they died in poverty. Few today are as brave.
