[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my child was young she once asked me what the government was for. I answered simply, "To protect us." I don't believe that is the case any longer now that we are in the "Golden Age" of Trump. If the government no longer: ensures our access to clean air and clean water; protects us from infectious diseases; pays for vital research to address major health conditions like cancer; protects from losing our civil rights; ensures the welfare of our veterans; or provides basic customer service for such important government programs as social security, and so on and so forth, then WHY ARE WE PAYING FEDERAL TAXES?[/quote]

These were not primary reasons to tax incomes. [/quote]

I mean, yeah they are.  Those are all basic governmental functions.  [/quote]

Read what the federal govt funded before the civil war that was intent of the framers. It's gotten out of hand since then[/quote]

The framers didn't envision "arms" with the destruction of an AR-15; the framers didn't envision an internet or phones or satellite dishes or consolidation of the means of production or cars or airplanes...should we just ban all of these things and go back to living like Ma and Pa Ingalls?[/quote]
