I agree tangentially with the sentiment—specifically in the US, we should be judicious about how our money is taken and used.

Not because we work our asses off, rather because it’s our duty as electorates (not to mention general good practice to watch your finances).

Spending is the issue, complaining about taxes in isolation is just silly.

The focus on taxes is just a smoke screen so you don’t need to offend anyone by suggesting you actually cut spending on say national defense, GPS, weather forecasting, etc etc.

If you actually want lower taxes propose specific spending cuts. Let’s get rid of police and prisons and then see what happens, or no how about…
