Hell no, I'm no saint either - I have simply retreated from many tax supported activities instead. I am sending my daughter to a private college, at twice the cost of a state university by the way, and I own my own 80 acres of duck swamp and elk pasture so I can still hunt relatively effectively and without having to commute long distances on crumbling state roads. I do, however, pay my share of income tax, property tax, sales tax, and B&O tax, probably more than most as I probably make more money, own, and buy more stuff than the average Joe. I just want other people to pay taxes too, especially for the things that I can't provide, like fish management and environmental protection. I particularly want the huge corporations and unwashed masses to pay for these things, as we as fishermen have a lot more to gain from proper support of these activities. If we don't support these things we will pretty much lose it all - which is why I have so much trouble understanding where those on this board that would have the government dry up from lack of funding are coming from
