I think so many have become detached from money.  

I know, generally, what I make for an hour of work. 

I view discretionary expenses through that lens 

Or, they look at it as a monthly payment.

I just got 2 bonded calicos, a month of food and litter for $200.

They bring me mice daily, which is why I got them.

$3000 buys a lot of ammo.

True.  And, you either pay someone to determine it, or spend your own time playing accountant.

Taxation is theft

Go Galt.  Why contribute to a system that is going to take your earnings away?

I think that's an unaddressed issue, or reason.
