Your courage is exactly equal to your knowlege of how the government of the United States works.

Then perhaps you could just tell me.

So either you are under 18 and work for your family-owned business or you’re admitting you are actively committing tax fraud. That’s a felony.

Which one of these are you?

Where do you work where you don’t pay payroll taxes? I’m genuinely curious.

So you’re ok getting robbed, but only up to a certain point?

Of course government functions need to be funded, but is it more or less efficient for each state to have, say, their own meat inspectors or is it better for the country as a whole, to have standardized ways of operating in certain regards? Some government functions are better carried out by a federal bureaucracy than…

Then why pay taxes at all? Trying to thread the needle of “state taxes are ok, but federal taxes equals murder” is a...unique philosophical position.

I bought this two weeks ago. No more meowing at 5:30 in the morning.

For the last time, taxation is not theft. You might like to think of it that way, but it is simply not the case. Your “natural rights” are not being violated; you just don’t like the idea that money that you earned is going towards helping other people. Have you even read Hobbes or Locke, or is this just something…

Yes, but teachers get the summer off, ergo, all unions are bad.

My principle is socialism, as in “We do better as a group than as individuals,” although I’m sure you’re just the kind of rugged individual Ayn Rand fantasized about (/makes jerkoff motion while rolling eyes).

Add nothing to the conversation? I’m coming at you with facts and figures and all you’ve responded with is, “Ugh, isn’t it exhausting having to defend my myopic worldview to these plebes? Taxation is theft because I say so.” We have a massive standing army and navy to protect America’s interests in the global…

Since you’re so well-read, you must know that the United States did not maintain a major standing army except during periods of national emergency until World War II. So the notion that there was a huge military force that was maintained without federal taxation is ridiculous. You must also realize that since the 16th…

I know. I’m just bored at work and I like poking holes in their arguments until they reveal themselves to be the monstrous sociopaths we all know they are.

I take it you are not familiar with the concept of taxation? You libertarians are adorable.

But John Madden was good at his job.

What liberties are you losing here? Please explain to me how trying to supply healthcare to people infringes on your liberties which need to be so zealously guarded. You just want the right to deny healthcare to people because you believe they don’t deserve it unless they can pay for it. Are we or are we not all…

How humble of you. An intelligent person would realize that since this is no longer 1789, and the people who wrote the Constitution are now all dead and had no experience living in the 21st century, we as a society need to find ways of solving problems that may not have been relevant back then, but still using the…

It’s strange, isn’t it, how centuries of law and the debates of this country’s greatest legal minds came to an entirely different conclusion about this than you did.
