Paying Taxes is Patriotic

Yep. Call me a fool or stupid. But I'm proud to pay my taxes. I live in one of the most beautiful and blessed countries in the history of the world. That doesn't just happen. It takes money. The IRS collects federal taxes that helps to make it possible to defend against foreign threats and makes it possible to form a more perfect union, insure domestic tranquility, promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty for ourselves and our posterity. We need to strengthen, not cut, the resources of the IRS. The wealthiest citizens of the United States need to pay their taxes and not use the 77,000 pages of the tax code to avoid taxes. Corporations and the wealthiest Americans should not seek additional tax cuts at the expense of damaging Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. But to cut the staff and resources of the IRS is just another way of making it easier for tax cheats to avoid audits and getting caught when they try to evade paying their fair taxes. Our deficit is over 36 trillion dollars and the solution is not to hurt the IRS but to strengthen it and to praise those who pay theit fair taxes. So yes, you can call me a fool or stupid but I love our country but it needs the resources to execute the goals of our Preamble to our Constitution.
