"Taxation, far from being a bureaucratic scam to steal our hard-won earnings by some alien "them" or "it," is the way citizens pool resources to do public things together they can't do alone. Attacking the power to tax is attacking the power of the people to spend their money in concert to achieve important public goals, whether national defense, public education or social justice. The anti-tax ideologues pretend to protect us, but in truth they disempower us."

What you say MAY have once been true, but now taxes are used for things that don't help Canadians as a whole and the majority of the money is squandered for political motives. The reality is this: The global situation is such that only a complete disemboweling of the system will allow us the chance to rebuild a system that represents the people. Its not an option, its a certainty.
