With almost 50% paying no federal personal income tax, what can you expect from the taxpayers except resentment?
Why do Americans feel like taxes are somehow the government robbing them of money?

Only the Right feels that way because they are too lazy to work hard to be better husbandmen.

The left cares; it is merely very difficult to convince the Right to stop wasting money on our useless and expensive, wars on crime, drugs, poverty, and terror.

To find out how truly dumb liberals are, talk to them about taxes. It's amazing how stupid some of them can be.

Another fallacy of the clueless and Causeless right. The social Power to Tax is delegated.

Because taxes, especially income taxes are applied unfairly.
The government says that any dollar after an arbitrary amount has to be taxed more than the dollars below that amount so yes when the government takes 30% of some of my money and only 10% of someone else's money that is theft
If you are going to tax anything then that rate should apply to all of that item being taxed and not be more for some of those items being taxed.
For example if the gas tax was like the income tax the more gas you bought the higher the tax would be on each gallon after an arbitrarily designated amount say 50 gallons.
Of course we would all say that's a stupid policy yet we have no problem doing that very thing with dollars earned

If forty percent don't pay income taxes due to a lack of wealth; why not simply ask the wealthiest to make up any shortfalls?
Or, is asking for better public policies too much to ask alleged conservatives.

Feds Spent $95,700 to Adapt Shakespeare Without Words

The federal government has invested nearly $100,000 to bring Shakespeare to the stage—only without the legendary playwright’s words.
The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and its state agency the Virginia Commission for the Arts has funded numerous shows from the Crystal City-based Synetic Theater, including a production of Hamlet without words, making the title character’s “To be or not to be” soliloquy slightly less potent.
The Wall Street Journal bemoaned the dumbing down of Shakespeare, noting Shakespeare’s plays “without puns is like French cooking without butter,” in a recent review of Synetic’s adaptations.
“The latest Shakespeare fashion, at least in the Washington area, is to invite people to a feast of language and serve nothing but grunts, grimaces and grins—with a few gyrations thrown in for dessert,” James Bovard wrote on Monday.

We have a Commerce Clause not wars crime, drugs, poverty, and terror clauses; I am not the one bearing false witness to our own Commerce Clause; person on the confused, clueless and Causeless, Right.
The question should be rephrased thusly: "Should the public be forced to pay for goods that only a few people enjoy?".Should Only the Wealthiest be able to afford the Arts?could it be because of CRAP like this? naaa, the people want to pay for this so everyone an enjoy their hard Earned money they give to that Wonderful caring about all Government

Yes, if I had all of the money in the world, I would simply solve all of the world's problems, simply for the sake of the Art of the Husbandman as a social, hard work ethic and moral.

It may be a long wait; I think the Right is in charge of the "public offender's" office; and, we know the Right has nothing but fallacy to work with.
