Government is "being deprived of"?!
It's not as if they're *entitled* to it.
And it most certainly is not *their* money.
The periodic tax revolts are reminders to the politicians that the US populace is not sheep willing to be shorn at their convenience. The country was founded out of the unwillingness to blindly pay taxes, after all.
