Subject: RE: BS: Cost of war
Sorry about that, don't know what happened there.
Troll-It's not really about the money being spent wisely. The problem is partly that some things require a large organization to manage (education, welfare, law enforcement, etc.) and partly that taxation is redistributive. Many people object to the idea of a CEO getting more than a thousand times the average salary of his workers, and taxation allows this excess of money to be distributed to persons and programs in greater need.
