where did I ever say "no" government?
less does not equal none unless of course you subscribe to liberal math.
You said governmnet should "leave us alone", and "let you keep what you earn".
I simply pointed out that virtually everything in your life that you benefit from - from the internet you're currently posting on, to the food you eat, to the roads you drive on, to the electricty and water you have - are a direct result of the collective action of americans through our government and tax dollars.
Why don't you get off the electrical and water grid, stop posting on the internet, and stop driving on roads, and then report back to us how you like living with "government out of your life".?
so in your little mind, the government has no other way to raise money than an income tax?
The government operated without an income tax for years how did it do that?
Tarriffs, mostly.
