You are paying high taxes to finance America's wars and debt. More then half of what you pay goes to those two things; most of the rest is stolen.
Debt is created by federal reserve - a private institution.
Wars are created by the media and weapons industry and bring only death, destruction and more debt (and profits for a few anonymous individuals)
Direct your energies there, and you may just live to see the day when no taxes need to be payed.
