They might attempt to do so? You know you can never take a politician at their word!

Edited to make clear who I was responding to.

I don't think you know what sarcasm means. Or else you mean you weren't REALLY upset about CA taxes on hot food.

I already said. My paycheck. Try and keep up.

See, I work a regular job, get paid and the total withheld on my W-2's > Amount I get back in refund (not even counting sales taxes, property taxes, vehicle taxes, etc etc). I pay taxes. So listening to idiots like you whine and cry about how liberals don't "get it" or whatever rolls right off of me except for the laughs I have at your expense.

So you still don't understand sarcasm. Got it.

You don't seem to understand what a "circular argument" is either.

Once more, maybe in English?

This is about the only relative added point. Money moves all over government all the time, for everything it is how it works, and it doesn't matter who the govt is or what style of govt it is. Its services are it bills, and it pays those bills like 90% of people do, all at once or they pay half of two bills now and half later.

Back to the quoted point. This applies to everything. Prisons for example it costs nearly 70,000 a year to house a convict. Those people are cut from society yet society supports them. The majority of criminals are there drug related. How well it the War on drugs going? how much money has been dumped into something that has only gotten worse.

Its a free country people should be able to choose to do what they want. Begin legalizing drugs, starting with low class ones like Marijuana, Mushrooms etc

I know what you are trying to do, and that is single out things like medicare. Thats fine and all, but if they do get rid of that, I hope you break your body, so your insurance company dumps you, or charges you an outrageous amount after. So you know how tough some people have affording medical costs, a home, vehicles, etc.

Also look at Canada, tax paid ("free") Health Care, for every citizen in the country. Its economy is cruising along fine. (and the CDN govt spends less on health care per person/year then the US govt does as well due to hospitals being publicly controlled).

Protip: If you make enough money that you pay any amount of taxes worth squawking about, you are benefiting more from those services than most people. Taxes are the cost of living in a developed nation. If you are thriving in a developed nation, you can thank the services that taxes provide for that. If you aren't thriving in that developed nation, you can thank the services that taxes provide for saving your ***.

People who think that taxes actually steal from the rich to give to the poor are the worst kind of idiots. Money is just a system. If someone takes your money and in doing so makes the money you're left with more valuable by putting what they took into collective investments, you have to be an idiot to complain about it.

And you're welcome to leave America if you don't like the club rules. Nobody is making you live here, work here, or shop here. In fact, I'd wager that if taxation made the U.S. such a sh*tty place, you'd have already done so, like the countless immigrants who leave their crummy country every year for the pleasure of our standard of living.

I find it funny that Thiefx thinks that I don't pay any taxes.

Sales tax and estate taxes, plus now I have to make sure I collect tax on any jewelry I sell and give it to the state.

Nothing under the table for me as I want to be able to sell my jewelry at fairs and conventions, were the Tax man will make sure I have a State Tax Id nicely framed for all to see.
