The Daily Show: The Republicans' refusal to accept any tax increases to help America out of debt is like a doctor believing strictly in magic to cure a patient.
What it is to be an American is a function of the type of society we have. We expect firemen to put our a fire. We expect a road to be there to get us wherever we want to go (& not just because a particular route is profitable for toll roads), we expect the cops to come to our house if we call... ALL this services are funded by our taxes for our benefit as per Article 2 Section 8 of the Constitution with every State doing - or not doing - it's part.
We can protest taxes because our taxes gave us a livable society in which we are allowed to protest.
