To the Editor; We should all hate Government? Last week we were treated to an opinion piece from a fellow who claims to represent a “Free Market Think Tank” entitled “Time to apply the enemies test to government”.

To the Editor; I hate paying taxes — even more than shoveling snow! We keep hearing how much we have to pay in taxes — and that we deserve tax relief.
