I know that some people think that taxation is tantamount to being raped and i'm not really certain why.
I'm just curious as to peoples opinions on taxes and their justification for said opinions. Please keep partisanship and conservative v. liberal out of it.

Taxation is neccesary to keep government running, police running, and all the services we have running. I agree though, that taking my taxes and giving them to others is wrong, special interest groups, other countries.. all of it. If I want to donate to charity, I will do it myself
