His point is that you wouldn't make any money without some structure. You pay for that structure. So taxes are more of a necessary expense that an necessary evil.

The fact that conservatives "think" they are happier makes sense. They are less questing and open. The fact that liberals are happier makes equal sense for the same reasons.

Would you rather have been Hugh Hefner or the Pope to use extreme examples?
