Serious question: were you alright in past years with your federal taxes going to the war in Iraq, as an example? Where do you draw your personal line for "this type of activity against foreign nationals is alright, but that type is where I draw the line?"

Anyone can feel free to answer this one. I'm interested in where people are drawing their own lines.

You can't draw your own lines, which is precisely the argument in favor of a small, weak federal government and robust, largely sovereign state governments. The same people glad Trump is in office now were screaming about executive power two years ago, but were thrilled with the huge expansion of federal power with the TSA, etc. It's cyclical and everybody's memory seems to be maxed out at 12-18 months on a good day.

> You can't draw your own lines

This is true in terms of "where your tax dollars go," but you can certainly draw your own lines in regards to your opinion. The latter is what I'm discussing.

Pretty sure we tried that with the Articles of Confederation and it was a total failure.

I wondered how Mexican taxpayers felt about this...
