FP - I won't reply to all your views. They speak for themselves. However, I will make one point.

The following is etched in granite on the side of the Department of the Treasury Building in Washington, DC:

"Taxes are the price we pay for a civilized society - Oliver Wendell Holmes"

If you are concerned about income taxes, nobody would argue. There are lots of ways to pay our taxes. Perhaps there is a better way. But if you are arguing that we should not be required to pay taxes, Mr. Holmes quote above seems appropriate......
