Wow, a lot of words just to get to the point that we need to pay taxes!  Mr. Burke seems to forget that the ideas for the creation of the institutions were formulated and initially implemented without a tax burden, and that the funding of these institutions needs to be continually be subject to the public review.  No, Mr. Burke, taxation without limitation is NOT a good idea, and we need to implement more restrictions on taxation to insure that public funding does not become more of a burden than it needs to be.
