Is violence the only thing known to you?
When did I say violence? That seems to just be what your mind jumps to

I don't fault anyone for complaining about paying more in taxes than someone else. Especially given the blatant waste at the state and federal levels.
Who here is happy that we spent 40 million in tax dollars to build a gas station in Afghanistan?
Who is happy that 1 company Solyndra was given 540 million tax dollars and promptly went bankrupt?
Who here is happy with the billions spent in Libya? Syria?
How about that Trillion dollar F-35?

No we should all be outraged by the abuse of our taxation system. And for those who claim to be okay with paying extra taxes? You can always volunteer to pay more.

What do you think government uses to force private landowners to give me access that they refuse? Harsh words?

Government order comes with big guns!

How do I feel?

Well, I am financially comfortable and probably will never have to worry about money for the rest of my life. But I am not rich and I probably never will be super rich. (I am not interested in rich men, so I am pretty sure I won't be rich lol)

I certainly won't defend rich people, nor would I criticize them. They are not going to pay my bills. So I don't have any opinions about them.

Pretty sure Sheriff sales of those farms who were late on their taxes, qualifies.
Do you think every person uprooted by eminent domain was ok with it and none had to be forced off of their land? Ever?

There is nothing more humorous than watching Pelosi, Schumer, Brown and the Leftists whine about Multi Millionaires paying more Taxes.


Nobody could possibly make this stuff up - they are in a Panic.

If they were delinquent on their taxes, either they were tax dodgers like lifeexplorer, or they didn't plan properly. I don't shed a tear for them.

And as far as eminent domain, there is generally financial renumeration for the property
