Taxes are inherently unfair.


How?

How should the government collect revenue?

Do you think that the government provide law and order, infrastructure and an organized society is unfair?

"Government income redistribution programs produce the same result as theft. In fact, that's what a thief does; he redistributes income. The difference between government and thievery is mostly a matter of legality." - Prof Walter E Williams PhD

So for those with money who dont want to pay taxes, I guess they are thieves if they want to breathe clean air or drive on a paved road without doing so?

Perhaps no more than those without money.

Just because one doesn't pay income tax doesn't mean they pay taxes. There is of course the Payroll tax, which is payed for by most of the working and middle class, and if you combine that covers nearly 5 out of 6 americans. The poorest income bracket taxes mostly come from consumerable goods and services. So no, everybody who takes something out of society does pay taxes somewhat, and everybody in some way, be it little or small, benefits from the role government plays in society. If you don't want to pay taxes then one doesn't have the right to complain about the complete lack of law enforcement, the increased number of homeless individuals out on the street, or the amount of kids running around free every day because they have no school to attend.

Okay then, I guess then you need to also constantly cross your fingers that you're never trapped in a burning building or house, cause one doesn't have anywhere near the resources a local fire station has to put out something as big as a property fire.

Those are local government functions, not the federal governments. This topic is about BO not your governor or mayor.

Evade, deflect, evade and then deflect some more Rolling Eyes people's taxes are used for local governments too, I highly doubt you didn't know that... that's not an argument against either the lack of taxes means the lack of essential functions of society that government provides, or an argument for how a society can really survive and function smoothly without these services.

I think they key lesson is one doesn't at all mind big government cuts.... until it affects them personally

It was proposed that we have a federal sales tax, that is what I opposed. BO needs to stop asking for more federal taxes and start championing spending cuts. What are you talking about? Certainly not BO or his leadership inabilities.
