Why should I work 4 months out of the year for free?and why is that?

Were you not the same poster who last year posted about getting far more in return from the federal government in a refund than you ever paid in taxes?

Because it didn't occur to me and polls only allow ten options.I didn't read through this topic and maybe this has been asked already......why isn't "yes, for the debt" an option?

About what? That I don't share the same priorities? Probably. As wonderful as I think paying down the debt would be, I don't see it happening anytime soon, so my line of thinking kept the options in the real world regarding what possibly might actually happen and not the fantasies in our heads.Says a lot. IMO.
Then why aren't the poor contributing to the society they live in as well? Success shouldn't be punished so that the government can piss away more money. I'm sick of people supporting the government's leeching of resources from people who actually ******g work.So that you can live in a society that has a healthy and well-educated work force, an infrastructure to support the movement of labor and goods from one part of the country to another, and a police/military/court system that enforces contracts and protects you...among other things. All of these things are partially responsible for whatever level of success you enjoy. No one is solely responsible for all of his success in life; if you were born a poor farmer in Zambia it's highly unlikely that you would be able to be successful no matter how talented or hardworking you are.

It won't, at least in my case.
The government says I'm poor. :mrgreen:
If you want to pay higher taxes what is stopping you? Just make your check out to the US Treasury. Why should everyone else have to pay higher taxes just because you want to?
Are you saying that you're actually gullible enough to believe the polls on this site are, or should be, somehow scientific and/or all-inclusive? Wow.Polls are pretty worthless if they are based and set up based only upon ones belief.

Good answer.No, I stated what I thought of them.
Were you paying income taxes in 1900?
Were you paying income taxes in 1925?
Anyone has the right to talk to you about taxation as national public policy. You cannot tell them not to talk to you about that issue and expect anything but defiance and ignoring your demands.
Are you willing to pay higher taxes, and if so, for what?
You can vote for more than one.
Yawn, its time to end the parasitic attitude that the rich somehow have a duty to take care of those who do not bother to take care of themselves
Are you willing to pay higher taxes, and if so, for what?...
Considering that the taxes we all pay are far more than what is needed for legitimate govt. functions, WE SHOULD REDUCE TAXES AND REVENUE UNTIL ALL WASTE AND ABUSE IS ELIMINATED.
I am willing to pay more for my goods that are made in the usa or the uk than buy from china.
kind regards to you all
