Yes and No BULLDOGManafort and the Podesta brothers are kindred souls and thicker than proverbial thieves........and that trail will eventually lead to POS like the Hildebeast and John "lame" McCain...........you want ties to the Russian oligarchs that Putin has been trying to flush out that are Rothschild agents? Look no further than the puppets of the prior administration.
I swear I just read you post something that you like to educate yourself and how hard you work at learning the facts.
This post proves that's a bunch of nonsense.
Debate me........engage in an honest discussion. Let's see what ya got. I am betting that it is chock full of "nothing l
What I am saying is that the Huffingpuffingtonpost wasn't reporting news without inserting their own leftard slanted commentary. THAT is what I am saying.
"I'm still amazed that you think all the benefits of living here are free, and you don't owe your share of taxes to pay for them. Pretty childish and selfish of you"
Consumption taxes are constitutional but a tax on what I make when I barter my labor in one hour increments for paper scrip aka "Federal Reserve" debt notes isn't. Why do YOU think this corporate entity that claims to be a legitimate governmental body is entitled to 25 cents of ever FRN I make? That sounds like feudalism to me.........no? A progressive income tax is one of the planks of the communist manifesto along with a central bank....did you know that? Look it up. I don't want or expect anything from any corporate entity and I refuse to be a de-facto employee of USA.INC. I will sink or swim based on the merits of my own labor and on my terms......if it's all the same to you....capiche'?
Got it. You think banks are communist.
Is that ALL you got out of my post? You see, stupid fucks like you are nothing but entertainment because you can only spin and take one small segment of the generous information I bestow on clowns like you.
Seriously, why do I EVEN bother?!?!?!?!?!?
Spit it out. Why are taxes on labor unconstitutional? Stay on subject if you can.
Dear BULLDOG and Dale Smith
To explain in simple 8th grade history terms:
taxation is unconstitutional when it is forced without representation,
when people do not consent to the terms of the contract
of how much money or what percentage is required and where the money is spent.
The problem we face right now is parties with conflicting, opposing
beliefs on what govt should be used for
do NOT agree on what to pay for, and how much to charge which people
deemed responsible for which programs because they don't all agree.
This is especially troublesome with issues of BELIEFS that people
cannot be forced to change by govt,
or forced to fund under penalty if it's against their beliefs.
So that's why it becomes unconstitutional on multiple levels.
And once programs are in place that people contest as against their beliefs and/or consent,
removing them or changing their terms or funding
risks creating MORE costs or consequences
that other people don't agree to pay for! If the policy
doesn't represent and protect the interests/beliefs of all people
equally, but people are punished or deprived of equal rights,
that's discrimination by creed to penalize people on the basis of their beliefs being violated.
Sadly, we can't even CHANGE existing contested programs
where we can't agree what to change them to
that won't incur costs that people don't agree on either!
Back to the solution I propose:
let people choose which party to pay taxes to
on social programs or other contested policies
that not everyone beliefs in funding publicly.
so any contested programs can revert to local,
state, or private business/nonprofit networks
that can be collectively funded by party members
instead of charging all taxpayers unless this is agreed.
There must be fully informed and freely chosen representation where taxpayers
agree to invest their taxes there, so it respects consent of the governed.
Yes. There are lots of people who don't like certain taxes, or any taxes at all, and many thoughts about how to remove some of them to suit the complainers. That is not the subject here. The claim was made that taxing pay for labor is unconstitutional. While I agree that is the belief of some, the Supreme Court is the final judge of constitutionality. As a country, we can't really change our tax laws on a whim just because Joe down the street doesn't like them. Each of us is free to believe anything they want about the constitutionality of our laws; tax or otherwise, but just saying taxing labor is unconstitutional doesn't make it so. If he can convince the SC it is unconstitutional, then Dale might have a valid claim. Until then, it's just the inane whining of a lot of conspiracy theory nuts.
1. When the people agree with judges ruling then yes, this represents govt representing the people.
3. However when people contest govt laws or rulings, then it goes through the legislative or judicial process again to address the cause of objection. If people do NOT consent and are NOT represented by a law ruling or decision, then it isn't final! Thats the beauty of our democratic process so govt can be revised, reformed and refined .
3. As for ppl not wanting to pay taxes, all the ppl I ever asked preferred to pay for what they want and believe in, and objected to paying for things they object to . Like duh! It's not rocket science but human nature and common sense. They will agree to mandate taxes if it's going to agreed programs or expenses.
It just has to be set up right.
If not, if it's set up to be adversarial and coercive, then of course people aren't going to want to be forced into paying that way.
We all want our own free will and beliefs/interests to be represented by govt. But if we don't trust other people, and try to force them by law or govt authority, of course they are going to react and force their own ways on us.
So why not respect each other's rights and freedoms to begin with. If we all did that equally, nobody would have to force corrections on anyone else.
