How much can the government morally take from you?

Ask your preacher.

So what's your answer. How much does the government have the right to take from you?

You'll never get a straight answer from any liberal because the truth is that liberals believe the government can take whatever it wants to take, or whatever liberals want it to take.

It's your thread. Sooo, what's your answer? Everything was working pretty well until Boy George fucked it up.

The government can take as much as I'm willing to pay. Beyond that, I suffer the consequences of refusing to pay more...

My starting point is that government should not be taxing more than half of a person's increase. I don't see why a person should be punished for innovation and be forced to give such large amounts to faceless bureaucrats who aren't even necessarily adding much value to the world. It's pretty fundamental when you think about it. Anything beyond half is collectivism. And collectivism has failed time and time again.

That doesn't answer the question of what they can morally take from you.

Okay, so who's paying HALF...?

A better question is do you disagree? And why?

Under republican Eisenhower, the top rate was over 90%.

And what was the bottom rate?

In 1953 the lowest tax bracket was 22.2% and if you were making 40K a year you were in the 62% bracket.

LickScrotum doesn't HAVE any morals and is therefore incapable of answering the question.

Mocking and link spam aside; do you have an answer?

That's what is sad, those were his answers. He's nothing more.

I objected even if they were reputable links. I shouldn't have to data mine for an answer. He needs to grow up and learn how to think for himself. That is evident too from the links he posted. I opened one for the fun of it. Simple minded nonsense.

That is why I have put him on the ignore list. He is a warped individual with no sense of self. Likely needs an evaluation for his mental health.
