    Out of all the items in that list, only those involving the military and those involving the post office are mandated under the Constitution.

    Look, I don't think anyone wants to eliminate taxes altogether. We just need to be a little more selective as to WHAT we spend our tax money on.

    This thread is called, "If you do not believe in taxes......"

    Then, you provide a list of services, but you didn't finish your sentence - unless your reply to Fletch was you point.

    Your point is ridiculous. Even the 49% of Americans who don't pay federal income tax pay taxes to the federal government.

    Jobs and Regulation
    January 18, 2011

    According to the latest report from the Small Business Administration, America's regulatory state costs our economy $1.75 trillion annually. -- For America’s smallest businesses, this cost amounts to roughly $11,000 per employee, per year.

    With these businesses normally providing 2/3 of all new jobs, and amounting to 90% of all firms, it's easy to understand why the U.S. economy is hobbling along. That amount, $1.75 trillion, is no small matter—in fact, as I have long said, these costs are an anchor, dragging this economy down.

    When it comes down to it, the combined average federal burden of regulation and taxes
    was a remarkable $37,962 per household."

    ‘Hidden tax’ reportedly costs economy $1.75 trillion
    April 19, 2011

    Washington taxes and spends, but lost in the shuffle are the trillions of dollars Americans spend every year just to comply with federal regulations.

    Wayne Crews, vice president for policy at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, combed through the 81,405 pages of the Federal Registry — which contains the nation’s regulations on businesses, and state and local governments — and cites a report showing that regulation cost the economy a whopping $1.75 trillion in 2008.

    The United States has the highest corporate tax.

    “United States companies are now in the position of trying to compete in the 21st century world economy with a 20th century tax system,” said Ho. “Dozens of countries around the world—including many of the United States’ closest trading partners—have realized that sky-high corporate tax rates are an economic dead end.

    The real subject, as Mycroft alludes to, is that most of your long list is unconstitutional.

    From September 17, 1787 to February 3, 1913, 126 years, most of U.S. history, it was unconstitutional for the federal government to tax "income."

    The 16th amendment should be repealed and The Fair Tax Act (HR 25, S 296) should be passed.

    It abolishes all federal personal and corporate income taxes, gift, estate, capital gains, alternative minimum, Social Security, Medicare, and self-employment taxes and replaces them with one simple, visible, federal retail sales tax administered primarily by existing state sales tax authorities.

    The Fair Tax means no more audits, record-keeping, paying as many as 1.2 million paid tax preparers in the country as much as $346.51 billion in administrative costs to understand three million words of tax code – about 6,000 pages.

    And, as for most of your long list of services that the imperial federal government mismanages, they should be left to competing service providers. People who are receiving benefits based on previous laws should continue to be provided what they contracted for and were promised. But, other than that, following the U.S. Constitution is the best course for our country.

    Not believing in taxes and paying them are two different things.

    Re: If you do not believe in taxes......

    ....

    Do we really have to go on about this?

    People don't choose to be introduced into taxpaying society. You can't force someone to eat a slice of pie and pay for it.

    Your culture is corrupted by public infrastructure. Does that mean the victims of corruption are prohibited from using it? No, they're VICTIMS.

    Next up: If you're in a hostage situation, don't expect your captors to treat you respectfully.

    Don't sue them for damages if they abuse you either.

    May I ask, if I don't use the service, will I still be forced to pay for it?

    As a libertarian, I don't see any hypocrisy in accepting SS checks after spending your entire life paying the same taxes as everyone else. The problem is not the recipients, but the legislators.
