Thoughts on Taxes;


Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago and our nation was the most prosperous in the world, had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.

Say we didn't have taxes;
would we not want to educate our children, and hence would build schools and hire teachers, at a fee perhaps?
would we not want to travel and need to trade with other areas and hence need a system of roads?
would we not need a glass of water and hence need an infrastructure?


All our current system as done is destroy the vision for America that our founding fathers had. It has taken a nation of law and order and sown chaos wherein the everyday joe is sandwiched between illegal aliens below and mega-corporations above. It has taken our sons away from our homes and sent them off to die for nothing in a forein land where we are not wanted. It has taken money from our earnings every week with the promise that there would be something for us when we retire and we all know about the solvency of Social Security.

So, as we plummet towards national and perhaps worldwide insolvency and bankrupture  remember who it is that led us into this mess. They try and make us feel that there is no hope and we must simply work forever to serve the system.
Their system.

They will claim there is no future unless we trust them further. They will ask for commitments from our childrens children, but they won't say it. They will just spend us there.

Your nation was the most prosperous 100 years ago? I don't think so. Britain, Germany and Russia were the big players back then. Not until after WW1 was the sleeping giant awoken.

Every body hates taxes, but nobody complains when the tax money is used to help them.

Well you have to pay for all those social benefits and large military somehow and yeah it sucks whenever we see our paychecks and bills but we've all benefited from that pool of money at some point.

Plus what about all the taxes that were meant to be temporary but stayed there.
Govt. will never be lean in their operations, they will never go through Kaizen (or other introspection procedures) to reevaluate their way of doing things.

Like Kmarion vid.  Just think about it; you purchase something or your own, you take care of it.  On other hand when something is given to you, you don't take as much care of it.  It' a proven fact and I've verified it within in my own life.

American Industry and business pays enough in Tax to fund the US system. Income tax is solely to pay interest on loans stemming from the federal reserve act. Think that's right. Don't have time to look into it.

ATG you need taxes.  And 100 years ago the USA wasn't the Superpower it's today with taxes.  Relax man, let Obama do his job.  Taxes well spent = people living better.

as a student, I <3 taxes.


They give me my free education, my scholarship, my books, my equipment, my laptop, my backback.

If my parents were to lose every single penny, I'd still be able to go to a good school with great equipment.



Taxes = less social differences = a better place to live.

I think we've had a nation debt ever since the civil war and (Adams?) decided not to pay it even though he had the money and instead started the banks with it.

Taxes don't piss me off.  What pisses me off is that some of the taxes aren't used for the reasons they were created.

For instance: in Texas the gasoline tax is supposed to be used for maintaining state highways.  Over half of it is used on education.

Sort of right. We were in a large debt after the Revolution and it was Hamilton's idea was to pay it back but using bonds and loans. That way the US would have a very good credit and so people would be willing to give loans to the government. The debt was almost completely paid off near the start of the civil war, and since then it has been cycling between lenders for 150 years. This is why the national debt isn't as bad as people often think it is. Because the US have excellent credit and so as long as only small amounts of the money is ever collected at once, it won't lead to that high inflation.

Most of our debt is held by Asian or Middle-Eastern countries, who would be hurt catastrophically if the US were to undergo hyper-inflation, so they won't collect the majority of their debts at once.

Umm our inflation is out of control.. Everything is expensive and salaries haven't gone up? Even with the cost of living on the rise, the scary thing is tickets and costs for getting into trouble.. Speeding tickets cost you 450 dollars or more, so we're over taxed and over penalized. Bottom line is if they don't get you in the taxes, they'll have there hand in your pocket somewhere else.

I was even worse. Read it as 'taxes' first time. Came back a while later and read it as 'texas', was wondering why atg enjoyed sharing his thoughts so much. I must be retarded.

Solution to economy and taxes. Eliminate all taxes (gets rid of IRS as well), and keep 8-10% sales tax.
