Why do people in USA like taxes!!!!

Quote from Billy Thunder:

I am a neo-con, my logic dictates what is right and wrong.

Your protestations are misguided. Did you really mean to say you favor low government expenditures? Where is the logic in calling for "low taxes" in an environment of huge government deficits. That's illogical! Can I assume you understand that inflation is an indirect tax? Or don't neocons know that?

Quote from tomahawk:

"People" don't like taxes, only politicians do.

It's what keeps them fed. Plain and simple - if government shrinks they're out of a job.

Funny that because in the UK here it's not illegal to earn money on your own as a politician. Frankly I think a video I watched on youtube described it best, it's just another form of piracy.

Whoa, "cunt." I think that's the first I've seen that on ET. That takes ET down to a whole new level. Go wash your mouth out with soap Billy

Quote from Billy Thunder:

Please explain socialism to me then cunt. Taking from someone against ones will is immoral. Stop being a tool for your nanny state ideology.

Ahh yes, the grand plan of the "truly intelligent" ... Socialism... steal from parties A to give to parties B, parties B vote for you, eventually life is better for parties B so people stop being parties A and switch to B.. eventually nobody opposes Socialism and also the economy collapses.. then the "truly intelligent" step in and take over... and occupy the castles and things left behind by the parties A... alternatively, the economy collapses, people that have been waiting a lifetime to get even with the politicians that have been robbing them hunt them down and kill them a la Roman Empire... either way, it's fun to watch if you are a party B... I think the moral is that it's not worth it to be a party A unless you can do it without much effort and you can adjust to having to give it up to some political extortioners at some point... If you are down with all that, by all means be a party A for awhile, flaunt it...

Don't drive on the road

Don't call EMS or go to the emergency room

Don't visit any parks

Don't call the cops when someone breaks into your trailer

I could go on, but you get the point.

Or maybe you're way too stupid and think everything you take for granted is paid for by mommy and her boyfriend.
