Basically "Joe" the plumber, admitted on video that he once was on welfare, and his parents were on welfare as well, why should this matter you may ask? well, the McCain Camp has basically jumped on the "Joe" the plumber opportunity to bring down Barack Obama's tax Plan. "Joe" has said that it's unfair for him to be taxed, because that amounts to socialism or "spreading the wealth". My question is is to "Joe", where do you think Welfare money comes from? ...

So for Joe it's Ok for others to pay taxes for him and/or his paretns to be on welfare, but once they are out of welfare and "climb" the social ladder, it's no longer Ok to pay taxes. This is simply hypocritical, and doesnt make any sense.
All this issue about distorting the taxation system makes me sick.
it is my opinion that there isnt anything wrong with paying taxes, and I will never fight my government taxing me, BUT, what will fight for is for my government to spend it wisely, and be extremely wise in spending it, in the end we all benefit, roads need to get built, wars have to be financed, healthcare, should be paid for for everyone, it's as basic, as clean running water. I am not for big government, but I am for a responsible society that is reflected in it's government.
For once the right win nutjobs should be for higher taxes since they love wars, and the least they can do is pay taxes since most right win politicians do all they can to avoid sending their own sons to war, so as Joe Biden said, pay your taxes it sure is patriotic to pay taxes.
I'd rather have a government that tax me more and spend it wisely, than one that taxes me less and loots it.
