When I buy things online, I don't pay tax. The government doesn't like that. For years, they have tried to pass laws about that as well. The same goes for online gambling. They couldn't tax you on your earnings, so they did the next best thing, made it illegal. And this type of thinking is at every level of governemnt, not just federal.
Similar to a small child that has a toy, but is told to share it with thier brother/sister, but since they don't want to share, they smash the toy. "If I can't have it, no one else will either."

If a peson is not happy with the laws that thier elected officals have made, then it is their duty as a citizen of their country to educate themselves on the officials that voted for and against such laws that were made that they agreed with and disagreed with, and then on November 7th (voting day in the USA) they will make thier voice heard by voting for either new officals to replace the ones currently in office or, if they liked the laws passed, they will vote to keep the officals in office right now, there for another term.
The real problem is not the elected officals, but the people that put them in office to begin with. If the majority of people would educate themselves about the people they voted for rather than voting for what thier minister or preist or parents or friends or voting down party lines, etc etc etc tells them what they should vote for, then things would be much different from what they are now. But that's a perfect society, one we don't live in. So we deal with the one we have now, and try to change it the best we can.
I take it you will be at the voting office come next month then.
