Given that you use the word "stealing" to refer to a govrernment's collection of taxes we probably won't agree on this issue. Taxes in the U.S. are at mult-decade lows. At least as of 2012. Taxation was around 15 - 16% GDP. The vast majority of federal taxation is not used to provide welfare to irresponsible and lazy people. Note that Social Security and Medicare are not entitlement programs.

Do you believe the U.S. is overtaxed? What percent of GDP should be taxed in order to fund government operations? Do you have specific programs in mind and, most importantly, do you know what percent of the budget is used for these programs you'd like to cut?
