Taxes Should Be Voluntary Only

by ellen Wednesday, Apr. 09, 2003 at 2:13 PM

Taxes should be voluntary only.

Taxes should be voluntary only. Force is immoral. Yet the government forces us to pay taxes to a government that harasses us and dumbs down our kids and is inefficient and negative. Forced taxes teaches us that rape and violance is okay, since our own government does it to us.

...how stuff is going to get paid for then, ellen. Don't worry about social programs, arts support, foreign aid, stuff that we can really get along without. Who's going to pay for the upkeep of the infrastructure? Do you really think, if taxes are totally voluntary, anyone's actually going to pay? Who's going to fill the potholes, produce clean drinking water, pick up the garbage, provide police and fire services?

Huh?

You may as well have said, "I wish the world was made of ice cream" for all the thought you've given this.

I mean really, I don't. You liberals piss and moan all the time about our "fascist" government killing innocent children and taking oil from poor countries and America is becoming a police states and blah dee blah blah blah blah.

But when someone pipes up and tells that they don't think you should be financing all of these endeavors you tell her to shut her pie hole.

Now if I truely felt the the way you buffoons claim to feel, I'd not pay taxes. Probably, I'd leave the country.

But it doesn't seem that you're doing anything but running your mouths. Truth is you people don't "feel" the way you claim. Your positions are purely political. You're not willing to take and *real* action, or *really* make a statement.

Truth be told, most of you pay a mere pittance of tax, and you want the rest of us to continue footing the bill. Hell, if you ever get put into power in this country, you're going to need all of those tax dollars to implement all you socialist welfare programs, including but not limited: housing and feeding homeless drug addicts and looneys, free drug hab clinics for everyone that wants to go (of course drug laws would go away, so the rehab clinics would probably be full), free medical care, counseling for pedophiles and child molesters (age of consent laws would be a thing of the past so it would be socially acceptable to attend counseling), etc. ad nauseam.

Idiots.
