Yes, you can. It's just that it seems disingenuous to complain about one while attributing your criticism to the other. It is really unclear what ustwo specifically meant with his comments since he didn't really elaborate in his post. I assumed he was referring to his belief that taxation == thievery. But maybe frossbyte has his finger more accurately on the pulse of ustwo. Even so, all this says nothing to change the fact that taxes have been used to greatly benefit everybody in america. It seems like nothing more than logical tomfoolery to me to attempt to claim that taxes are bad because politicians are corrupt and wasteful.
But then again, i'm not even sure that's what anybody is claiming. All i am doing is trying to defend statements i made in response to ustwo's vague statement to two other people with their own set of preconceived notions about the subject.
