Nonsense. Any law can be enough to get the government to storm your home.

Do they do. As I stated before if aggregate all taxes paid by the poor it is a higher percentage of their income as opposed to those in the highest income bracket.

Why is this so difficult to understand?

This guy owes 20 years worth of grazing fees, and he's lost his case in court over and over...

He's no different than someone who refuses to vacate after receiving an eviction notice for not paying his rent.

Care to certify or clarify your statement?
And you seem to revel in delight thinking that citizens of the United States will take up arms against a duly-elected government, simply because of ideological difference with the party in charge.

I understand what you said.

That being said they feel the sting of high taxes, and damn other pay them not caring the harm it does...

Still a fair or flat tax would be logical and would prevent favoritism..

Everyone already pays taxes one way or another, so everyone already has "skin in the game." Though there are corporations out there paying very little or nothing in taxes, now they should have some skin in the game and pay their fair share.

Thanks for a good summation of the lefty position. During the 20th century approx. 170 million were killed by their own government. The overwhelming majority did not have a gun to shoot back with, because left wingers had banned them. As MLK Jr. noted in his Letter from a Birmingham Jail,
