Honestly I'm at the point now as a business owner that if anyone raises my taxes again, I'll just cheat like heck to circumvent them. I've learned enough about government in the last four years to know that a piece of my income is being stolen from me, and I'm not too thrilled about that. I also know what my Founding Fathers would've done about this.

George Washington: "Hey Tom, that's this part here?"

Thomas Jefferson: "I think he said that was the charging handle."

Neil Nemetz: "Actually, that's the forward assist. Further up the right side, handle sticks straight out."

George Washington: "Got it."

If you went back in time and offered George Washington and the Continental Army AR-15s and plenty of ammo to go with it they would literally be offering you anything you wanted in return.

Actually, I was imagining them being resurrected in our time, but hey, that's fun too.

Don't blame you. tbh I don't know why the government keeps raping us for taxes when we just print all of our money to cover the national deficit anyway.

Everybody who evades taxation has my respect. No matter if small businesses or big corporations. Taxation is theft.

People that want corporations taxed to high heaven are the reason all the capitalists went to foreign nations to manufacture their goods to begin with. This didn't click with me until this year, believe it or not.

That's the case with a lot of Libertarian arguments. Generally the issues in society and economy emanate from some form of government action. It can become annoying, because it's essentially the same answer, but it's true.
