If I give you $20, that I stole from some other person, and I say you have to give $4 back, did you pay a $4 tax?!? |

but some do contribute to society. the guy i know in the Navy kept a meltdown from occuring. dont know if hes taxed or not. if i were to charge the fed 4 thousand dollars an hour for finding a cure for cancer, and i did, and they automaticly took away some for a tax, then it wouldnt be a tax but a deduction.

well this guy went over two officers heads and pulled the plug. its not what they do or dont do, its IF its a tax or a deduction. IF i can adjust it, its a tax. if not, then yes, its a deduction. |

You're missing the point. When you get your entire check from taxes, having some deducted isn't really paying taxes. It's like taking water from one end of the pool and pouring it in the other end. You aren't adding any water, just moving it around. |

Had this argument (through facebook messages) with my friend just yesterday. He works for the state of California. Smart guy, but simply could not understand this concept. Didn't like being told he wasn't contributing to society. Let's start our cuts in government spending in the states that receive the most! If you need links to prove government accounting, just ask! The first two states aren't hard to find, they're the states your last two Republican Vice President candidates came from, Alaska and Wyoming. Go to the Tax Foundation, which is a definite right-wing source and show us how much a citizen of those states receives in federal spending verses a tax dollar they send as revenue. You Motherfuckers want to play the Tax Game, let's play it! Why should the people in Blue States send so much more in taxes than they receive in spending in their state? The only Red States that aren't sucking the government tit dry are Texas, Florida and Georgia and they're basically break even. Federal taxes are spent somewhere, so why should my tax dollars be spent in your miserable state? Fuck your ungrateful ass! Let's get it on, Bitch, and cut that Federal government spending in the states receiving more than their share! We'll put back in the Stone Age! |

The Republiatards haven't done a very good job of refuting this nonsense.. We need a second party. One with a little common sense that doesn't play into these schemes. |

I guess a teacher in Texas doesn't pay taxes.. Go to the Tax Foundation, which is a definite right-wing source and show us how much a citizen of those states receives in federal spending verses a tax dollar they send as revenue. You Motherfuckers want to play the Tax Game, let's play it! Suits me.. Let's be sure to define what's what, though.. Like, entitlements VS other federal spending.. Let's make sure we're comparing the same things. |
