Taxes are a necessity. The bureaucratic foolishness that is the united states tax code, or individual state codes is ridiculous. I think one of the biggest failures of the Republicans in the Contract years was the failure to implement any sort of rational flat tax. And the failure of Congress, and the House in particular, to ever show any restraint in spending is the impetus for much of the anger expressed in the overwhelming anti-incumbent sentiment.
