Conservatives view taxes as a confiscation of wealth: the government is taking my money. For liberals taxes are the price of admission to civilised society — It’s our money. Liberals view taxes as the reasonable and appropriate way to fund an investment in society and the future. From the liberal point of view, if somebody doesn’t want to pay taxes, they’re a freeloader.
~ Thom Hartmann (born: 1951-05-07 age: 58) Cracking the Code page 95.

Who do the conservatives imagine should pay for all those wars they are so fond of, the nuclear missiles, all the police, the prisons, the water, the sewers, the roads, the border patrols…?
