Do you realize roughly half of all Americans didn't pay ANY taxes this past year? Isn't this wrong??
Thomas Jefferson didn't think so.
The rich alone use imported articles, and on these alone the whole taxes of the General Government are levied. ... Our revenues liberated by the discharge of the public debt, and its surplus applied to canals, roads, schools, etc., the farmer will see his government supported, his children educated, and the face of his country made a paradise by the contributions of the rich alone, without his being called on to spend a cent from his earnings. --Thomas Jefferson to Thaddeus Kosciusko, 1811. ME 13:41
Apparently Jefferson was fine with progressive taxation too.
Another means of silently lessening the inequality of property is to exempt all from taxation below a certain point, and to tax the higher portions of property in geometrical progression as they rise. --Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, 1785. ME 19:18, Papers 8:682
That aside, it is just not true that "half of all Americans didn't pay ANY taxes this past year". Here, in California, we have a sales tax that is darn close to 10%. The price of a gallon of gas includes a federal tax as well as sales tax.
Further, if you believe that "corporations don't pay taxes, people do" because the corporation's tax burden, including payroll taxes are passed on to the consumer in the price of a product or service, then all those little people you hold in contempt are most likely paying your taxes too.
And thirdly, Senora Hernandez-Jones is an unauthorized parasite from Mexico who is stealing resources and birthright from Americans who have paid for their own in blood and sweat...
How did Hernandez-Jones get her hyphenated name? Is she married to an American citizen?
And lastly, the hospital which is required by law to treat EVERYONE - including illegal invading parasites - must pay for all the doctors, nurses, drugs, maintenance workers, lights, and rent. This makes the $0.10 aspirin cost $50 bucks, and the hospital room cost $800 per day.
That's not entirely true. For instance, if a surgeon charges $3,000 for a particular operation and the insurance provider contracts to pay $1,500, then the surgeon must raise his rate to $6,000 to get what he wants, $3,000.
It was funny back then; the 'neighborhood' was your world. You rarely left it as a kid. I was lucky enough to have watched games at the Polo Grounds (say hey Willie) & Yankee Stadium, hell I even saw the Chicago Cubs (with a young Ernie Banks at SS) at Ebbets Field ('57?). All in all, I wouldn't change a thing about having grown up in NYC. Now? Not so much. It's a turd world dive, much like ALL of California.
I grieve for what they have done to our land, but the last act in this war has not been written.
When it is, they will be lucky if the quill pen uses their cold drying blood as ink to record it.

You are perverting God's word and Scripture to support theft, greed, and covetousness, and lies.
The Bible clearly states that people who are better off have a responsibility to the poor, and the consequences for not fulfilling that responsibility are dire.
It's not my problem that you view carrying out what the Bible teaches as "theft, greed, and covetousness".
Excuse me, a buell et yer banana, but did he munch your pathetic pea sized balls while he was at it too?

So, you are whining about what? Your mom not getting enough Mexican semen to rub on her face sores she gets from picking her meth mites?

Second, Maria Hernandez-Jones isn't paid enough at her job as hotel maid to pay for her own aspirin and the hotel doesn't provide health insurance.
You are clueless. I personally know illegal Hispanic people with family incomes of more than $100,000 a year and receive free medical care, WIC, TANF, and get back much bigger refunds on their taxes than what what they paid in (under report their income and get EITC and other benefits).
There is a difference between demanding obedience to the whims of man regarding religious hocus pocus and the moral lessons of Jesus. The founders so recognized.

No. biz partner underwent surgery yesterday, so I'm staying here in the office. Friends are going however. Kind of a blah day, but they'll have fun I'm sure.
How do you " install a condom"? I just slip mine on...

Thomas Jefferson didn't think so.
I forgot that Jefferson alone was the Almighty Father of Confiscatory Theft, and Entitlements and FREE Stuff for da peepulls. Thanks for the historical reminder.

Our revenues liberated by the discharge of the public debt, and its surplus applied to canals, roads, schools, etc., the farmer will see his government supported, his children educated, and the face of his country made a paradise by the contributions of the rich alone, without his being called on to spend a cent from his earnings. --Thomas Jefferson to Thaddeus Kosciusko, 1811. ME 13:41
Apparently Jefferson was fine with progressive taxation too.
Maintaining roads, schools, safety, the peace, etc. and the oversight of infrastructure is ONE thing; FREE food, health care, housing, cable, bus rides, health care, job training, retirement packages, pensions, and FREE $$$ is quite another. NO way did Jefferson or any of the Founders envision Representatives of the People trading on others hard-earned blood, sweat, tears, and wealth for votes from a parasitic constituency.
Another means of silently lessening the inequality of property is to exempt all from taxation below a certain point, and to tax the higher portions of property in geometrical progression as they rise. --Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, 1785. ME 19:18, Papers 8:682
Lol - you're reciting Madison and Jefferson as though they are Apostles...HINT: They're not.
Nonetheless, Jefferson never imagined the "exempt" would be receiving FREE cash, goods, services, and leisure time. DID HE?
That aside, it is just not true that "half of all Americans didn't pay ANY taxes this past year". Here, in California, we have a sales tax that is darn close to 10%. The price of a gallon of gas includes a federal tax as well as sales tax.
I'm not interested on how many Mexicans can dance on the head of a pin.
if you believe that "corporations don't pay taxes, people do"...then all those little people you hold in contempt are most likely paying your taxes too.
What the hell are you bathering on about?
Corporations CREATE JOBS - you remember those, the ones still in the country paying confiscatory taxes? They create a TAX BASE. Both corporations and their workers PAY TAXES. Only you prefer that both companies and their workers be assessed higher because you feel the government is entitled and obligated to steal more of it in order to subsidize the laziness, sloth, and irresponsibility of others. Oh...and to steal from American workers and give their wealth to foreign peoples. All a part of 0bama's Dream.
If a surgeon charges $3,000 for a particular operation and the insurance provider contracts to pay $1,500, then the surgeon must raise his rate to $6,000 to get what he wants, $3,000.
What makes you think Senora Hernandez-Jones pays for insurance - or anything else for that matter?
The ENTIRE operation and care of the lazy, welfare queens AND kings, and illegal parasites is subsidized and underwritten by We The People. And we are damn tired of it, Comrade.
I'm sure your good reply will be wasted on Luberator.
And in an ironic twist, the Pod who admitted he holds NO political opinions or positions, and knows NOTHING about ANYTHING weighs in...with his chicken scratch.
