Your not speaking on behalf of the majority if Americans.

And not saying anything interesting, in any case. It's easy to say "cut more, tax less." Zero effort. Let's see some thought behind it -- what are we going to cut, and why? What are we going to fund, and why?

I feel like a lot of people don't really understand where the money 1) comes from, and 2) gets spent. Balancing the USG budget is a very, very big task.

He’s a self appointed representative of the majority. I guess he doesn’t care about democracy at all and probably views empathy as a defect or something…

There’s a bit of a double edged sword here. Removal of taxes leads to more coupled private/government relationships. Where external interests fund politicians to protect their own monopolistic interests. That money needs to come from somewhere. Wealthy people don’t want to pay taxes. But they sure do like to pay money to members of the government to further their own interests. Remember it was about taxation without representation. Wealthy people pay a lobbying ‘tax’ and get representation. In this way they are just paying a tax in a different way, where they get benefits and you get very little to nothing.

You're speaking on behalf of a minority of nutjobs who don't want to pay any taxes at all and wrap that in whatever logic suits them at the moment... bringing up the American Revolution and world wars in response to your desire to have more money and imagining that you'd be wealthier if you didn't have to pay taxes instead of everything being more expensive and everybody being worse off.
