Wow. I haven't heard a sermon like that in ages ...... "need and want"????? You can't possibly take yourself seriously. You drive a VW Passat? Did you really "need" that? Wouldn't a smaller, lighter, more fuel efficient Jetta or Golf with no options been a better choice for society as a whole?
And why do you assume that somebody driving a "big showy vehicle" is trying to impress someone
That may have been your MO, but I'm simply a lifelong Porsche fanatic in worn-out jeans and a T-shirt who bought a Cayenne because it perfectly suits my business and personal transportation needs. Nobody around here even knows what it is! If I wanted to impress, I'd buy an Escalade with 22" spinners .....
But back to taxes: being vehemently opposed to our current tax system is unrelated to one's income level - stealing money is morally wrong.
