Don’t want to pay taxes? Don’t use the roads.

It’s tax season, and regarding the March 4 news article “Thousands of millionaires haven’t filed tax returns for years, IRS says amid crackdown,” may I suggest the following to these scofflaws?

Please don’t drive your vehicles on our tax-funded public roadways. And stop breathing our clean air and drinking our clean water. Refrain from sending your kids to our public schools and universities, and no camping or hiking in our public parks.

Don’t even think about calling on public assistance programs should you or a loved one be in need. And, heaven forbid, should a natural disaster befall you or yours, please don’t scream “Where’s the Federal Emergency Management Agency? Where’s the government?” The list goes on and on, but I think you get the drift. Whether we like it or not, government — be it local, state or federal — touches our lives every day in countless and often thankless ways, mostly for the better.

No one likes paying taxes, including me. But I try to imagine what society would look like without them. You should, too — and pay your fair share.
