"And then that the government can give said money to people we don't even know about!! "
-See, now, that's how I feel when 'said government' uses lots more of my money to kill people I don't even know about. I feel worse about that then when they use it to feed and shelter people I don't know about, even if those people don't deserve it, and when we kill people who don't deserve it or otherwise collaterally damage them, then I feel real bad about it. But I still recognize my responsability as a citizen to pay my taxes. Infrastructure, political salaries, largest war machine in the world, mini nuke research and social programs all come out of taxes. Tax laws our written by the representatives we elect in our representative democracy. So, yeah, I guess as long as there's due process and innocence until guilt is proven in a court of law, I pretty much support the governments right to jail folks who don't py their taxes. nd I'd be willing to bet that more of my tax bill goes to things I'm totally opposed to than yours does.

And all you have to do to get Vinth to like something you did is disagree with me. But don't let tht make you feel bad, or like you need to shower right away. Vinth's approval is a force of nature, and not anyones fault. Like a Hurricane, or a backed up leeching field.
