Really? So if I transfer money from my savings to my checking I should pay a tax on that? How about if my brother gives me 100 bucks?

**** you, what utter tripe. Par for the course for this looter.

The transfer refers a change of ownership from one owner to a different owner. Gifts under a certain dollar level would not be included in that.

I understand why you wish to block my agenda. My agenda is to stop people like you who wish to use the power of the state to redistribute the property of others. Your agenda it to propagate a system in which you use the state to take what belongs to Peter in order to give it to Paul. Some might consider yours and not mine to be the extreme agenda.

My goal is to wrest the government from people like you who wish to use it as your own personal goon squad. The proper role of government is the protection of life, liberty, and property. You wish to destroy the proper government and convert it into a thugocracy that preys upon the liberty and property of others to slake your thirst for power over your fellow man.

Thankfully, the people who believe as you do, are a very tiny minority.
 
The United States now rests in the hands of the ever increasing number of non-producers whose survival is dependent upon government entitlements as payment for their votes__Their future generation's disappointment will be legendary when they realize the utopia promised is in reality a totalitarian nightmare.

Non-producers? There's a lot of working poor out there that rely on government help.
 
... rather than having government confiscate them for scrupulous politicians to buy votes with or waste on $800 toilet seats.
I'd be perfectly happy if they took all the money from the estate and burned it - just take it out of circulation. For me this has nothing to do with increasing revenue, it has to do with pest control.

seriously? i believe you know that this is not what is being discussed....
 
I must admit that I'm more than a little surprised at the results of this poll thus far considering the growing popularity of Progressivism and it's policy of "from each according to their ability, to each according to their needs".

It's reassuring to know that most americans still believe that We The People should be the chief executors of our accumulated assets even in death, rather than having government confiscate them for scrupulous politicians to buy votes with or waste on $800 toilet seats.

Half the people in the United States are presently paying all the bills and when this nation reaches the tipping point, those who pay nothing will demand that they pay more and more by means of an unjust democracy at a ballot box they will soon control.

Those who keep the lights turned on, the gears greased and the wheels of industry turning, which creates jobs for the masses, may be forced to relocate off shore to nations where their accomplishments and services are appreciated as has already been happening as of late.

The fact that we presently have an Administration in power that continues to grow the dependent half of the population while demanding ever more from the decreasing half, suggests that this Administration is either ignorant of the obvious or 100% aware of what it is doing.

'Those who keep the lights turned on, the gears greased and the wheels of industry turning,'.......you mean the the common working man/woman, right?


"The fact that we presently have an Administration in power that continues to grow the dependent half of the population........." you are aware that republican policy, from the last administration, increased the number of non-tax payers, right? the current administration is getting the ship back on course, as 20+ months of economic growth and job creation shows.
 
How are you defining this category of people you call "non producers"?
I see your point__Maybe "non-contributor" would have been a better choice of words.

I stand corrected__Do you now agree with my assessment?

Well it would be nice if you defined what you mean by a "non contributor"? Are you limiting this to one tax? One program? One aspect of life?

Those who live by the law of the jungle are often happy when there are fewer people to resist their attacks.

No. You wish to use force to take what belongs to others and give it away. This has everything to do with you and your agenda.

*Sarcasm* I guess you don't understand the truth passed down from the great Ayn Rand and told by her master of humankind...John Gault. We are just peons running around like chickens with their heads cut off, only by the benevolence of the "producers" aka the rich people are we allowed to toil in their factories and have the privilage of them skimming x% from everybody's labor. You should get an education via the good book "Atlas Shrugged"...it's all right there for you*/sarcasm*

we have been over this before. Your hyperbolic over the top USE OF FORCE is actually taxation. So lets get real.

Your overuse of the hyperbolic and dramatic grows with every day. Taking a lesson from you, one could post about people in white lab coats cutting the flesh off women and children and shoving sharp projectiles into their bodies causing pain and discomfort, making them swallow dangerous drugs and ordering them how to live.

Otherwise know as doctors and patients.

You seem to be the only person who feels you can run a government for 311 million people without a system of compulsory taxation.

It was a quote from an early page of this thread, yes seriously, and its STILL the premise of haymarket's tripe.

And you conveniently made the intentional choice to ignore what I said it meant today, plus the many previous explainations of the same.

What you did is called feigned shock in the pursuance of intellectual fraud.

So men with guns wont come to my house if I don't pay?

Please look up the definition of hyperbole.

men with guns at your house seems to be the definition.

How did I feign shock if pointing out your ridiculous absolute, nothing said since makes the statement any less fallacious.

Do you deny the forceful consequences of not paying ones taxes?

Of force? Yes.

It was explained long ago in this thread................... many times.

You are being obtuse and absurd now. This "men with guns at your house" is silly nonsense designed to scare the hell out of people.

You could always move and avoid the possibility if you object to taxation. Exercise your freedom of choice to deny the government that power.

don't think i've ever heard of 'men with guns' showing up at someone's door to collect taxes....seems i remember them having to go through the legal process....

With sound pronouncements of reality like that you are going to destroy their entire schtick.

It doesn't matter how many times you repeat falsehoods and collectivist tripe, its still wrong.

You are being obtuse and absurd now.

I am not being obtuse, you are. I am not being absurd, the consequences of not paying your taxes are LAW.

This "men with guns at your house" is silly nonsense designed to scare the hell out of people.

No, its meant to be accurate. Government IS force, and unless you can justify the use of force for the sake of your political agenda, wealth redistribution you are a liar.

I would never support any law that wasn't worth enforcing, you are quick to.

You could always move and avoid the possibility if you object to taxation. Exercise your freedom of choice to deny the government that power.

Thats always the answer for your lot, if ya don't like it leave. No, given that your lot doesn't respect state's rights and would have the federal government enforce your redistribution of wealth changing states would make little difference. This is a democracy, its better to try to change bad laws than give up this once great country or states to looters like you.

Tell that to Al Capone

To collect? No. To arrest, certainly. Besides, given the demeanor of IRS tax agents and auditors, i'd rather deal with the men with guns.
