We need to reduce our tax burden to something reasonable like 20%. That way our micromanaging overlords won't have enough money to control us quite so thoroughly and harshly. I dont care if you get rid of spy agencies and other agencies before or after you lower taxes. Just make sure the government can't print fake dollars by typing in a few zeros. I'm not sure most Americans understand how taxes are used to keep us from clawing our way out of the middle class into the upper middle class. The rich already have wealth. Middle class and upper middle class workers never have a chance to build wealth. That's how I see the modern slavery system.  It's like when you move to a great little town with a sweet lifestyle, the first thing you want is to keep the masses from moving in, shitting up the roads, buying up the housing, and turning your little gem into New California. Dont know what the Libertarian Party stands for now, but back in the day, Libertarians called for the lowest possible tax that provided us with essential services like military defence and an impartial court system. Almost all the money we send to Washington DC is used to buy the boots currently on our necks.
