"None of this matters. And I'm not really talking about what we do
here except in the sense that it puts us in a position to see civic
attitudes close up, since there's nothing more concrete than a tax
payment, which after all is your money, whereas the obligations and
projected returns on the payments are abstract, at the abstract level
the whole nation and the whole government and the commonweal, so
attitudes about paying taxes seem like one of the places where a man's
civic sense gets revealed in the starkest sorts of terms."
