Mike, I wasn't using him to prove that McCain would be a better president. (you may want to read my response to Hana above on the land/people issues)

It was meant to get people thinking about the purpose of taxes and how they have come to be so mis-appropriated.

Every time someone thinks up a new reason to collect a tax, recovery fee, use fee, etc. there is always 'apparent good reason' to do so. However those taxes never expire, even though it is often promised that they will be. Once the original purpose is satisfied they invent another use for the tax they are already collecting. It might be 'only' .01% sales taxes collected, and it adds up to MILLIONS of dollars. Citizens get used to paying it, so once approved, it is assumed they will continue to pay.
