If you try to cure the disease it simply moves to a new location... like wealth, it never goes away, it's the balance that goes with it. I don't want to change what can not be changed.... I want to make it work for me, more!

I know we're not going to change the world by discussing things on a message board etc. And I know most people aren't going to question the whole concept of taxation etc
Personally, I try to lead my life without causing any injustice. Like Ghandi (yes, I'm quoting Ghandi on gfy
) said: "be the change you want to see in the world". I work hard, I make money by providing products and services other people value and are willing to pay for. I pay my taxes eventhough I think forcing people to pay taxes is unethical (I pay them because I know the taxman will otherwise make my life a living hell). I try to help my friends, family and neighbors as much as possible (because 1. I think that is what friends do, 2. because I realize that someday I might need help). I never steal. I don't accept any kind of government funding/subsidies. I don't steal. I don't commit murder. I don't profit from criminal activities.
