Why Taxes are Necessary

What do you think the government would do with $15,000 worth of Jell-O? Feed the homeless, donate it to The Salvation Army…or make a replica of the city of Scottsdale, AZ? (raisingfarrahzona.com)
When I tell people I think government is bloated and useless and should be pruned back like mutant kudzu, they often respond with something along the lines of, "Our Government provides essential services that no one else can deliver. When markets fail, the people must step in to protect themselves from [insert economic boogie man]. Do you want to disband the military? The public libraries? Why do you hate children?"
Two points:
1. Why I hate children is a long story, involving many children and much hatred.
2. Jello?
