Anyone wish to explain here what nation in history has existed or survived long by doing this?
Good question.

I agree they should pay something but if a person makes 40k a year pulling 10-15k off of that (total) plus sales/state taxes runs these people into the fucking poor house which is good for no one as it breeds gov dependance. I don't think anyone should be paying taxes for anything except national def. and infrastructure anyhow.
Of course not. Let the temper tantrums ensue. Cover your noses lest you choke on this guy's ashes, though.

Next victim?
 
Because the moral busybodies of Socialistic Altruism stay after proper Liberal government until they can get it to do one good work, and well, one good work deserves another so the people, having freshly discover the ability to vote themselves the largess of the Treasury and control the lives of their fellow citizens, engage upon an orgy of layering Capitalism with Socialism to the point that it finally is reduced (as per Cloward-Piven and the young ACORN lawyer, Barack Hussein Obama) to a quivering collapse at which time the LTs of the world dance in frenetic glee screaming mad mantras about how Capitalism has never worked and can never work, therefore, we should surrender to pure Marxism in order to have equality and our daily bread, provided, of course, we can find the proper queue to stand the day away in...

Yeah, LT, you're a regular Starship Trooper.

YES, you can! ;) ;)

Sister Bluebird flying high above,
Shine your wings forward to the sun.
Hide the myst'ries of life on your way.
Though you've seen them, please don't say a word.
What you don't know, I have never heard.

Starship Trooper, go sailing on by,
Catch my soul, catch the very night.
Hide the moment from my eager eyes.
Though you've seen them, please don't tell a soul.
What you can't see, can't be very whole.


:) Wanna Choc'late?
 
You should give our dear readers a link, because my "Libertarian" reply to him was awesomeness, the stuff "out of the ball park is made up of..."




;) ;)
 
Ah, yes, I remember where this comes from now...

True...and I hate to sound like a flaming liberal but can we honestly ask min wage workers up to someone with a spouse and kids who make 45 50k a year (pretty average for that 47%) to hock over 1/2-1/3 of their income? They can't afford that shit.

Then why are we hitting them with FICA and other withholdings?

Can't they pay 1%, ½% just to be somewhat vested in their benefit programs and have a modicum of pride from being able to contribute as in the parable I just mentioned?

If we're so concerned about the poor, why not go to the FairTax and hit hardest those who spend the most on the most expensive goods and services?

;) ;) Then the poor would not get just all of their earnings, but a monthly prebate check to cover the taxes they would pay on life's basic necessities...

We can breed government dependence with the simple and obvious expedient of turning our schools over to the government just as Catholic Schools teach you to God.

;) ;)

What I do not see is someone suggesting we take 10-15K off of them. That sounds more like an emotional charge to illicit excitable cries of "unfair" from the people who care more about social justice than economic justice.

What I would suggest is that we do not treat citizens as part of static groups in a dynamic economy, but rather that we treat them as individuals with a LadyFairTax statue that shares a blindfold and scales in common with Lady Justice...

;) ;)

First we need an answer to my question.

What country has ever survived that pays taxes only for national defense and infrastructure?

Saudi Arabians pay no taxes -- but that's because the government owns income-producing property, i.e., oilfields.

They even give huge monthly stipends to their people.

This will all go away when America starts pushing alternative fuels...
 
Poor dupe doesn't even realize he's at the very limit of the hollow potential God graced him with when he exposes his envy by creating vanity threads...

Yea it was...and I can get down with what you said.

Yeah, gas is 7 cents a liter, but you live under a theocratic law set that makes it useless. Being in a gay relationship gets you killed, but all the chicks hate the beauty standard and dress like bee keepers. I just can't get behind it.

Not to mention the fabulous scenery of nothing and the oppressive heat....cool place to visit from a biologist/naturalist/historical perspective but other than that...fuck the middle east
 
He should just get some smoked paprika and put it in a bottle of good quality olive oil.

i once asked a slovakian guy what he did for fun.
he said he went to the woods, drank beer and ate sausage around the fire.

I suppose there are worse things. At least one poster here is known to drive for three days just for the opportunity to shoot prairie dogs.
