I don't object to paying my fair share for things you listed, except maybe farmer welfare and price supports that are needed because of gov't meddling in the first place in some cases. I do object to paying more than my fair share for foreign aid to nations that work against us, to programs that have out lived their mandate like the PBS and NPR, to fund grants for things that are clearly useless (really- there was a high dollar grant to study the drinking habits of Asian prostitutes) or to fund the billions in PORK, PORK, PORK that are just politicians using tax payer dollars to buy votes. That's what I object to. Instead of sending billions to our enemies, we should be taking care of our vets, sick and infirm. We should be dealing with drug addiction and mental health instead of trying to usurp peoples rights. We should be trying to make America an economic marvel instead of a welfare state.
That's what I object to. Wasted money spent buying "green" energy for the military or investing tax payer dollars in more Solyndras. Wasted money spent jetting politicians around the world instead of fixing our infrastructure. Giving "Most favored nation status" to Communist China instead of competing with them or making it easier for American business to compete with them.
We are quickly becoming another fat and lazy bourgeois welfare state, where a few workers and borrowed money feed and provide for the politicians in the oligarchy who divy out a living for the couch potatoes and whiners. We accept criminals entering this nation illegally and provide for them, yet we let out vets die for lack of decent care. After all, the vets aren't likely to vote for the left! Our children, apparently, expect "free stuff" so they can walk into a $300K a year job and no skill workers think they deserve what a freshman teacher or nurse makes, and there are politicians using tax payer dollars to fund these ideas and coddle that voting block.
Man, you touched a hot button topic for me. I'll stop ranting, but there are many, many, many very good reasons for complaining about taxation. But if you're only paying 10% on your income tax, then you aren't in the bracket that makes it hurt all the worse.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
