You're right, taxes are a necessary evil. We all need to pitch in for the things that make this country great. The issue is that working people have been shouldering the majority of the burden for too long. Another problem is that a lot of our money is being wasted on crap that doesn't help us. Billions of taxpayer dollars go to foreign governments and politicians' "pet projects". Suspending the payroll tax will provide workers some relief in these tough times and force congress to FINALLY balance the budget by cutting unnecessary spending and eliminating loopholes for the rich and well connected.
I live in the People's Republic of Illinois so any chance I get to screech about taxes I screech loud and proud. I pray that a day will come when we can all come together to make real reforms and compromises. In the mean time I'll take any tax break I can get. This is just a band-aid on top of an infected gangrenous wound.
Commifornia. They take a huge chunk of my paycheck. I wouldn't be as salty if I knew the funds were getting spent correctly, but obviously these crooks are skimming off the top and disappearing funds all the time.

There you go. That's a more reasonable take.
