Isn't it interesting how those life choices lead to a disdain of government taking your money. Predominately, people who have earned their financial freedom are the ones who cherish it the most and despise those who try to take it. And people who have had it handed to them are the most willing to allow it to be taken.
I was driving the aforementioned clapped-out Plymouth when I graduated college. In 1994 I averaged 64 hours a week running restaurants. At 50 years old, last week, I bought my first new car. Paid cash, and it wasn't a Hyundai either. Earned every bit of it myself. Hated having to pay the tax to the government with my hard earned & saved money.
