or in the case of our county and Commonwealth, services on paper you never really get. Sort of like being taxed for protection from the French and the Indians of which, we never got but Parliament discovered the cash cow called, "For the Common Good" and it's cousin, "For the Good of the people"

The only taxes I pay directly to the Federal, State, and County governments are the horrid Income Tax, excise taxes on my vehicles, and the Goddamn Property Tax (with bond payments) to the County. All of the other taxes are user taxes and fees. They are mostly hidden like the Fed's Inflation Tax.

One day people won't pay those direct taxes and the State will go 100% to the indirect taxes.
