That's me, too. I believe the government doesn't have the authority to tell us how to live. I also believe the government is there to help people who need it. (look at some of us on this site, for example. Many of us are not really capable of existing in this society without help.) Governments should be like doctors: "do no harm."
To accomplish this, taxes are necessary. I have no problem with them, and feel the wealthy should be taxed at a much higher rate than others - they owe us, they wouldn't be wealthy if it weren't for us.
