it is when the money is being used for something that is beneficial and will help all of us yet the individual not wanting to pay has not bothered to look into why this is good for them.....the only thing that clicks is "higher taxes.....noooooooo!". see, the thing is that you're convinced that taxes were designed to steal your hard earned money that nobody else deserves and not designed to fund things that progress society forward. you actually think that you own the money that you earn; that because *you* worked for it, *you're* entitled to do whatever *you* want with it. once again, i find this hilarious....but i'm never going to make you realize that you *don't* own the money, you're merely *borrowing* it, and it's only in your possession long enough for it to inflate and park itself back into the bank accounts that it came from. you don't earn your money, you're granted the priveledge to take it for a few weeks and then give it back. you have absolutely no right to dictate to the people that do own the money how much they wish to let you borrow for their own investment purposes. do you understand what i'm saying? why i'm so amused by people that complain about high taxes? i'll put it to you this way: you like your freedom, right? your free market economies? well, the fact that you pay taxes is the only reason that they still exist. you get rid of the taxes and the united states will end up like venezuela....cia coup, man... > I'm glad you > explained this point. Why do you find serious things humourous? i don't find serious things humourous; the article was impossible to take seriously. inri np: http://chat.carleton.ca/~jparent2/ "there ought to be limits to freedom" - george w. bush "if this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as i'm the dictator." - george w. bush "i'm not going to let congress erode the power of the executive branch" - george w. bush <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
