We'd be forever taxed.
Taxes are taxes. As we work, a quarter of the months that we work for, will be send out to the government. You come to the office, you work, and all portion of the money will go to the government, and the amount is huge. The lawmakers are fighting for that money.
When you use your own money, you are more responsible. You save, you are more careful how the money is spent. Public money is something different. No company ever on earth would start out a war against Iraq. Nor Syria for that matter. Would not even joke on that issue.
