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 - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
