“Give unto Caesar what is Caesar’s”.  It’s in the bible……… or check WIKI:  

"Render unto Caesar" is the beginning of a phrase attributed to Jesus in the synoptic gospels, which reads in full, "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's" (?π?δοτε ο?ν τ? Κα?σαρος Κα?σαρι κα? τ? το? Θεο? τ? Θε?).^{[Matthew 22:21]}

This phrase has become a widely quoted summary of the relationship between Christianity and secular authority. The original message, coming in response to a question of whether it was lawful for Jews to pay taxes to Caesar, gives rise to multiple possible interpretations about the circumstances under which it is desirable for the Christian to submit to earthly authority.

Your tax dollars at work:  

Kinda makes you want to just donate every penny you have, doesn't it....

What kind of tax? Where do you live? Age? Do you work? What was your income?

Like Benjamin Franklin said,  '' The only thing for certain, is death and taxes !! ''

Taxes are a penalty for earning more money than it cost you. Blocking your earning efficiency with more expenditures, costs to do business, helps to reduce your taxable income. The cost of doing business may include your clothing cost and maintance. Educational costs of living, lunch, gym and Doctors. Unpaid debts that you are owed...loan default, gives you deductible  debts  based on lost interest on loans....no wonder so many folks want to loan you money as your credit rating goes up.
