Woe of taxes under GW Bush's America

I just finished my tax returns last week. Like millions of Americans, I am forced to watch thousands of my hard earned dollars go to war profiteers, Halliburton, and to pay the salary for political hacks such as Michael Browning, Tom DeLay, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, etc.
During the 2004 presidential debates, I recall a wining pro-lifer ask John Kerry about concerns of spending her taxpayer dollars towards abortions. I wonder if this "culture of life" member and others of her ilk bother to think of the billions taxpayer dollars going towards a war, waged by a "culture of life" president, who doesn't mild slaughtering and maiming thousands of living, human soldiers in vain, not to mention thousands of innocent Iraqi men, women, and children?
Perhaps we should just make our government tax checks to Halliburton and other war profiteering companies, as well as the tons of other corporate interests that seem to be ruling our government these days.
Regardless of wars waged and the sale of our government policies to the highest bidder, at least we can rest assured that the interests of fetuses across America are under loving guardianship with the Republican leadership.
