You pay taxes...
You help give the politician a job...
You have a right to demand goverment do something to justify the position it's granted.

With regards to taxes, I think Bostonians had the right idea with the Tea Party protest.
We're taxed to the max these days...with comparatively little in return. Our leaders are crooks and scammers with no accountability. Meanwhile, our infrastructure is crumbling around our feet and the politicians play wasteful games with the revenues.
Interesting spin on the Kennedy quote that also applies here in Canada.
I'm starting to agree that perhaps times have changed to the point where government has to start doing for us instead of the other way around. Not free handouts and charity - but at least a fair and equitable return on our taxation investment.
