Calling it "the tax-collector's share" is blatant dishonesty that is insulting to America: the tax-collector works for the Republic, and the Republic is "We The People." If America were still a monarchy, the rhetoric that equates taxes with theft might be valid, but under a republican form of government it is not. If there is a problem with how taxes are spent, the solution is to make the system more attendant to the people and the purposes of the Preamble, not to starve the people's government to death. Demonizing the funding that allows the proper functioning of the American Republic stinks of treason.
