But you are not purely responsible for your success. If you think you are, you are kidding yourself. You got a state education for starters. I could go on and on about the benefits you have received. You were born to privilege in a global sense. Your taxes are just payback.

State education? Not much of one. I dropped out of high school actually. Pretty much self-educated as far as my elementary education.
I did manage to later work my ass off, takes the SAT'S and get accepted at and eventually graduate from Yale in 1996. One of only two people to do that without an HS diploma in 1996. Paid for most of it myself too.
Believe what you want about luck.
I don't have any problem paying taxes. I just don't want to pay more taxes than I currently do and the same as you, there are certain budget items that I am less than thrilled about. Well, I guess since you are "privileged" you should support your tax money paying for the war in Iraq. Right?
