That makes them think of taxes as the government's money?
A rabid Obama supporter at work the other day came up to a known conservative with a rant. This was about the time that Obama's $13 a week "tax cut" went into effect. He claimed that since conservatives weren't happy with the way stimulus money was being spent that they should sent the $13 back to the federal government.
I responded by explaining to this person that taxes are not the government's money - taxes are MY money that the government takes from me. Why should I send money back to the government that was mine in the first place?
How did modern liberals arrive at this understanding of taxes?

and since liberals think we should pay more in taxes, they should voluntarily send more to the government.
