I'll say this here because I know no one will read it, but privacy is a human right. Private ownership is a human right. The right to live is a human right. The right to work without your effort being stolen by corrupt pieces of shit who waste it on studies of the mating habits of ground squirrels is a human right. Okay, that last one got a tad specific, but it still pisses me off that my tax dollars are wasted on such garbage and I can't ask for a refund for what I never asked for in the first place from people who stole my money and wasted it. Taxation is theft, and when it's acceptable is when it's actually used for the greater good and not as a punishment for living. The money I earn gets taxed just for it being income, then if I invest it the interest is taxed, and if I buy something with it that is taxed, and if I sell it that is taxed and if I try to give it to my children when I die it gets taxed. If it's land and it's just sitting there it gets taxed, and if I want to build a house on it it has to be approved by some government stooge, and if I ignore them they'll tear it down at my expense and maybe steal the land from me too. I'm sick of it, and our forefathers would be ashamed that we continue to let this theft grow so out of control.
