Yet you yourself have presented no facts. None whatsoever. Why believe you? Because you said so? lol

All you've done in your silly posts is say people who dont want the income tax are bad people who are crazy.

"we did just fine" and "fact" in the same sentence. Yes, very quantifiable, your "fact".

Not as likely if I had to send it in next month. What happens if I do not?



I care about a workable system.


I pay taxes when I buy a car, transfer a car title, put tags on it and get it inspected yearly. I pay for those roads....


Don't pay your income tax. I will not hurt you.

I care about your liberties and freedoms, along with mine.
Repeal the 16th Amendment and take us out of bondage.

Do you actually think we were a 3rd world country compared to everyone else in 1913? Do you actually think taxation is the reason we have technology which has improved our lives? Do you actually think it was taxation that brought us the automobile and the assembly line and the airplane?

Now again point out to me in the post that I responded to where facts were presented. That was the point of my post. Was that too hard to figure out while you were busy trying to be clever?

That's great that you pay your tax bill. Once again since you did not address it. What about those that do not?

Yes it has. See what I did there?
That you didn't try to refute any points I made is telling. All because "you said so".

You've made no points. We are not going back to the 19th century.

I actually think it was taxation that enabled our country to execute the idea of puttting a man on the moon, so yes I think in some ways taxation has helped technology through NASA. I did not say it was "THE reason" but that's your red herring of choice obviously.

Of course I did. All one has to do is go back and look at my posts. Your post is dishonest
