When we buy things there's tax, when we get our pay checks they take out taxes, and we even have to file for taxes just to get tax returns, why?  Any opinions?

To pay for fireman, police, military, social programs, roads, pay for government employees.  I do think we need more tax cuts however...

To fund a government that forces us to take some kind of accountability for our action or inaction.

The federal reserve releases all money. I used to think this was how the government had its money. Now I realize this is not true.

Rob banks? Heist Armored Vans? Shove a plastic shotgun underneath a Kmart employee's chin? I see possibilities. It's not like the Police is paid enough... The cadets from the NY Police are just as good as the Police Acedemy crew(Film...)

You don't get back everything from a tax return. :|  Just what you overpaid for your bracket, assuming you overpaid.

Less tax for us, and a stock-market crash? If I get more money, I might aswell pay for a increased price.
