I am willing to bet that i pay a lot more taxes then you 17, and although i would love to keep some more $$$ at the end of the year, the services they fund are essential as well as make this a better place to live. I'd rather lose a bigger % of salary in exchange of a better education system (which the US fails hard at), health care, social assistance and anything else that could allow people to live a better life.
Many people who complain about taxes (like that hillbilly redneck republican who was yelling out heil hitler in that other thread) also complain about the have nots that need help . If you are born into poverty, without help you will most likely stay in it forever.
A smarter country that gives the lower tiers of population the tools to go further is a better country. A better country is good for everyone.
You might not agree, but the "looking out for number 1" attitude is what got America into the huge mess it is in right now. Selfishness ceases to maintain when there is no longer anything left to take.
Kennedy had a lot of not so great traits, but his service to the American people was long standing and he deserves respect for it.
