	Can I refuse to pay your tax if you fail to make me glad to pay it? 
Wake up, folks - a government that's big enough to give you everything 
you want is big enough to take it all away. Those of you who would 
"gladly pay a tax" are free to write another check to the Infernal 
Revenue Service if you want. Kindly keep your fingers out of my wallet, 
however.
