Just out of curiosity, how do tax protesters envision paying for things like defense, federal transportation oversight (road maintenance, regulation of airlines, etc.), etc.? Would corporations be taxed more heavily? Would more duties, and therefore a larger tax burden, be shifted to the states? Seems to me like it would be six of one, half-dozen of the other. We'd still be paying something, either to the states or in higher prices to offset corporate tax burdens. If it didn't come out of our paychecks directly it would come out eventually. What's the difference?
