No Comrade Samantha, what you noticed is that we all have lives and can't sit in front of the computer responding to you immediately. I am not the least bit surprised you guys are defending a system that confiscates people's property and destroys their lives. None of you have taken a position in the past in any other thread that even remotely stands up for individual freedom and responsibility. And to address your extrapolative, sarcastic comments regarding how the war is paid for, we are only talking about the INCOME TAX. Not ALL taxes. There are plenty of other income sources the Federal Government receives in the form of excise taxes, tariffs, etc. But I don't want to ask too much of you. Please, don't try and make legitimate arguments to defend the system. Just keep making snide and overly exaggerated comments. Really, we're all impressed.
