I did want to respond to this one directly.
This may sound harsh, but it doesn't really matter, unless the screamers make for a significant majority.
I look at it this way:
Nobody likes taxes or the theory of taxation, but most understand that some means of taxation must exist.
There isn't any proposal that I could make or someone else could make that would be accepted by everybody. Regardless of the plan, somebody is going to have a problem with it.
When our country moved from mainly excise taxes bringing in the revenue to the beginnings of the system we have to day, there were people that screamed, kicked, moaned, griped, etc. about it.
