While nobody really likes to pay taxes they still all want the benefits that such taxes provide.
. . . The central question here is can we afford to have a President leading this country who is a living example of how to screw the country out of its life blood?

But I don't want the benefits of helping a person open a car dealership in Ukraine.
I don't want the benefit of assisting countries that hate us.
I don't want the benefit of endless wars that line the pockets of defense and oil profiteers.
I don't want the benefit of starting a manufacturing plant in Finland.
I don't want the benefit of sending arms to Mexican drug cartels.
I don't want the benefit of funding failing "green" firms like Solyndra that pocket the money for themselves.
I don't want the benefit of being protected from raw milk and lemonade.
I don't want the benefit of sending our First Family on vacations all over the world.
I don't want the benefit of having my every move spied on.
I don't want the benefit of having the UN in the US.
I don't want the benefit of paying people to not work, when they can.
I don't want the benefit of a Justice Department investigating political enemies instead of criminals.
I don't want the benefit of being an an owner of a car company that will never pay us back.
I don't want the benefit of giving money to corrupt banks that are "too big to fail".
I don't want the benefit of a space program whose mission is to make Muslims feel good, rather than explore space.
I don't want the benefit of allowing people to enter this country illegally and unhindered.
I don't want the benefit of a military that is commanded by a person who wants an American empire, rather than protection of vital national interests.
I don't want the benefit of a military that is not allowed to win wars started by old men who want their buddies to make money on the implements of war.
I don't want the benefit of a government that regulates the size and value of the money supply to benefit banks and not people.
I don't want the benefit of bureaucratic regulators who write stupid regulations to inhibit the free market.
I don't want the benefit of a tax system that is used to manipulate by regulating what I can do and how much I can make, and force me to report all that the government that does not have my best interest at heart.
I don't want the benefit of being indefinitely detained.
And I don't want the benefit of spending a Presidential campaign focused on stupid issues like tax returns instead of addressing the real issues of spending and freedom.
Don't tell me that I want services but don't want to pay for them. Try providing service that are worth paying for.
Rather, tell me how you are going to turn around the deplorable downsizing of freedom, and outrageous increase in spending that's happening in this country.
STFU about tax returns and address the real issues. The only reason the tax returns are an issue is because Obama has such a deplorable and indefensible record on spending and freedom. He is hoping that people will forget how awful he is as a President if he can create some class warfare innuendo.
I don't know how anyone could support that man. He is the most corrupt, anti-American president in history, by far.
