The Chicoms are the best friends we have. They fund our insane overspending. What is unfriendly about that? And we'd be in a depression overnight if they decided to stop. If you're rich enough that taxes don't matter to you, then good for you. I still have to bargain shop and taxes don't create more of anything or make anything cheaper. I will avoid them every chance I get. I'd argue taxes help take away the freedoms we once enjoyed. They certainly don't pay for the few I still have. And they only pay for 60% of what our gov't. spends anyway. So, best case scenario, they only pay for 60% of my freedom.
