There are many things that need to be in place for me to feel good about

others; if a large portion of the taxes go to funding Mr. Mobutu, I and
many others feel less good about paying taxes, for instance.  Fairness in
taxation is not the only thing but it is certainly an imporant thing.

There can never be fairness in taxation, since taxation is theft. Or are
you of the opinion that what is forbidden for individuals should be
allowed by the government?

Taxation is part of the social contract that you agree with to live in a
place.  If you don't agree with it, that's okay, you can go live somewhere
else.  As long as there is somewhere else to go, you can't call operating
fees a form a theft.  I think this is where you have gone wrong.
