Noam Chomsky explains taxes in 40 seconds

"A very good measure of how democratic a society is to ask about the attitude toward taxes."If you had a free, functioning democratic society, April 15...would be a day of celebration." The people have saved and set aside a pool of money. And..."here we are getting together to fund the policies that we decided on".

On the contrary, "here, (in the United States) it's a day of mourning".That itself is a sign of the serious decline of the functioning of the democratic system."
