There’s so much anti-tax rhetoric out there, and of course almost nobody enjoys paying taxes, but Shayna Englin has a great point here that is too often forgotten – without taxes, we wouldn’t have our quality of life, our military, our police and firefighters, Social Security, Medicare, safe food, safe water, Metro, roads, bridges, airports, parks, or just about any other “common good” you can think of. Oh wait, I forgot, Glenn Beck et al. say that taxes are “socialist,” right? No, Glenn, they’re called “American.”
