So, hold up, more than 10% of my pay is lost to Federal taxes? $56.13 withheld from a $530.00 paycheck! To say nothing of state taxes or the other withholdings... All told, I lost nearly 25% of my paycheck to the government!

"if they do I'd expect to see a campaign to convince me they need it, that I might give willingly"

you know that if they made a campaign on why they needed your money, you would be spiteful of them wasting your money just to tell you why they need it.

also, this was in the papers today http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A58808-2004May26.html
because if the taxes didn't take enough, they're now going to charge you more for everything else, too.
