While taxes and the exemptions are a big deal per the article. The bigger problem in my opinion is spending. So many people/organizations have their tin cup out rattling it for dollars that the state cannot or will not say NO! These panhandlers use the compassion argument to justify their state enforced theft.

Once the government is enlisted to be the muscle in this theft ring the theft never stops. We have all heard and said taxes are too high since we entered the workforce. Very seldom is spending attacked, its always justified for the children, for this or that. These groups recruit government to be their thugs, they don't have the brass to steal on their own so they recruit government to do their thuggery work.

We've all heard the emotional arguments justifying this theft. I counter - Can anyone tell me what is compassionate about stealing from one at the point of a gun and giving to another?
