At least when it's the IRS, you are supporting the state. Not a guy who wants cocaine

My family believes in a flat tax system, everyone pays the same taxes regardless of personal wealth.
The problem is, why are we encouraging people think the american dream as a welfare check that comes in daily or that new social program to 'improve' a pathetic existence?
You may want to pay more taxes, but many like myself do not.

At least, in my experience at least.
