I found myself surprised at how the beliefs I had about taxes proven false, and how so many of these beliefs are perpetuated by the world around me. Many citizens are so stuck in a rut about the tax systems that they don't really understand that we aren't able to make effective changes. We all love to live in nice communities, but there's some belief out there that we don't have to pay taxes to do it. I'm not going to pretend that I've understood more than 65% of what's written here, but if more people knew more about the truth of taxes, we might be able to pay for schools and nice streets, assuming we can't ever get out of this pointless war.
