Justjim: Let me be honest with you. I would not agree to a single penny of tax other than that which would be required to defend this nation from enemies foreign or domestic and additional amounts I deem necessary for the common good. Why? Because our tax system is riddled with greed, poor accounting, poor budgeting, poor estimating and a never ending appetite for more and more tax money that will continue with wasteful spending and/or placed in people's pockets for political favors.

The Internet tax is misrepresented because it doesn't recognize that states vary in laws and regulations and the internet tax is going to end up costing consumers. Keep in mind many states because of their irresponsible fiscal policies are in dire straits and are going to mine for more tax money anyway they can. what they won't do, like the federal government, is cut back spending.

Sooooo I keep repeating it is not my patriotic duty to pay my taxes as a defense against irresponsible spending
