Without Federal Income Tax they would have never been able to bust the mafia or the KKK. Fact of the matter is, the government has to be there to protect you from certain groups. Beyond that, it does in fact need money to function, and where else is it going to get it?
It may be failing to protect us from big business, then again, there's no lead in our alphabet soup.
I'm not very authoritarian, and I know how ****ed up crooked the government can be. But, I get tired of this sort of "It's us little guys vs the government" philosophy. the US Government can't even manage itself, let alone screw you over.

Terence Hill, as recently confirmed during an interview to an Italian TV talk-show, was offered the role but rejected it because he considered it "too violent". Dustin Hoffman and John Travolta declined the role for the same reason. When Al Pacino was considered for the role of John Rambo, he turned it down when his request that Rambo be more of a madman was rejected.

Al Pacino = God
