So I guess that makes you quite the saint for enjoying the benefits of all that stolen property.SteveSy wrote:I'm not sure how many they've killed but they've stolen billions of dollars in personal property and destroyed so many lives it would be hard to count....nah they're not Stalin, but they're working on something akin to the KGB, give them some time.CaptainKickback wrote:And the IRS has killed how many US citizens and sent how many to the gulags? I am guessing, around 50,000,000 less than Smokin' Joe Stalin.

Ahhh, my posting was directed to Steve, not you. Its pretty much a given that "tax advocates" understand they benefit from tax dollars and do NOT view it as "stolen money", whereas Steve was making that analogy, which prompted my statement as provided hereinabove.CaptainKickback wrote:While I might normally chide you for such a comment, in reality it is a comment that applies to me, to you, to every living, breathing person in the United States.
In one form or another, at some level, we ALL enjoy the fruits of taxation.
And let's be adults here, government, no matter what its form, is in part, about taking from the people for whatever the government deems important. Interstate highways. Air traffic control. The military. National Parks.
So, unless you live on your own property, never leave that property and are completely self-sufficient in terms of power, water, sanitation, food and medical, you use something paid for by taxes - either directly or indirectly.
So to answer your jibe, yes, I am a g*ddamned saint for allowing others to benefit from my tax dollars. In fact we are all gddamned saints for doing so.
