I personally don't believe taxes are sufficient to say you are in charge of anything. The guy who bums $1 off me to buy beer pays tax too. I think you need to do more than that in order to be allowed to vote and "be in charge". But to your point, yeah, why should I vote or pay taxes at this point? I still have a 2A which is attractive for now but I can seriously see in the next 4 years realizing I'd be better off living in the 3rd world living off my retirement money like royalty instead of paying $800k for a shitty old 1200 sq. foot home near downtown.
I guess if you're right, they won't be pissed when I teach hundreds of people not to pay them. Near as I can tell there are two sources of income for our country. Taxes and fees collected internally, and bribes. You may be right that they can live off the bribes
