Taxes

I grew up with people assuming that my family did not pay taxes because we were foreigners--even had a fellow college student and roommate assume this about me.

They were wrong. All residents pay taxes whether or not they are citizens. It's called taxation WITHOUT representation.

Now I keep seeing bloggers accusing liberals of being tax evaders!! I don't get that! Most rich people are conservative, and I think most tax evaders are rich, so why are liberals and hippies getting that rap?

It ticks me off, because man, do we pay our taxes. A lot of taxes.
