I'd like to know where my publicly funded electricity and internet are. I get bills every month for both. I pay taxes for the highway and rail system, and when I buy a computer, part of price for that computer is to recover the taxes the railroad or trucking company paid.

When an individual's total tax bill, federal, state, and local is 40% or more of their income, it's time to say enough and start taking back. Or maybe I should just quit my job and let the government give me stuff.
