Republicans, Do You Not See The Hypocrisy In Your Disdain For Paying Taxes?

[Billy000]

You are constantly complaining about the moocher culture in this country yet you expect the government to pay for everything for you by not wanting to pay taxes. For one thing, it is a very small minority of people who abuse government assistance like food stamps. Food stamps, by and large, feed starving families. The actual facts and statistics on food stamps, that you refuse to acknowledge, reflect that. On the other hand, there are 10s of million mooching tea baggers who would prefer not to pay taxes.

Paying taxes is part of being a citizen of this country. You can't bitch and whine about the national debt AND paying taxes. How you don't see how those issues are connected just blows my mind. You want a bitching military? Pay your taxes. You want your kids to go to public school? Pay your taxes. You want this country to have strong infrastructure? Pay your fucking taxes you mooch.

Yeah, yeah the poor don't pay taxes derp, derp, derp. There's an easy solution for that. Raise the goddamn minimum wage so it can at least be kept up with the current level of fucking inflation. Then we can all pay taxes!

 

[Oldstyle]

So your "solution" is to force employers to pay poor people more money and then take it away in taxes so that a bloated and inefficient government can spend it?

Yeah, that will work!

 

[Oldstyle]

Post like this one are a perfect example of why liberals have such a hard time with economics.

 

[The Breeze]

It's not disdain for paying taxes, it's tax money being wasted, big difference.

Crap like this just blows my mind. What do you think pays for our military and public school. Granted over spending is a problem but spending itself is pretty fucking basic man. Taxes fund shit.

Since you admit that over spending is a problem then why aren't you here calling on a stop to that? You're like a man with a bucket full of big holes that keeps telling others that you need more water to keep your bucket from being empty. If you don't fix overspending and sheer waste, Billy you're NEVER going to fill that bucket no matter how much water you pour into it!

You people exaggerate this waste a lot.

It's not just waste.

It's he low value return we get on our dollars.

And it's the spending on things we shouldn't be spending on...at all.

Nobody argues that.

Not all taxes are the same. Does the OP not understand that ?

Why should make that call in this thread? You people whine about enough. It's really the only thing that makes sense that you whine about.

Well with how much you all love defense spending, you better cough up some more dough or face cuts.

[saveliberty]

Well since your all for paying taxes Billy:

1. Don't take deductions and contribute more.

2. Take zero exemptions and just let the government keep the extra.

3. You can always send in more money than what the tax bill comes to.

Still have a need to help? Charities are waiting.

So.

Can we say everyone pays 2% federal tax regardless of income level. No matter how many exemptions.

Everyone pays 2%.

I don't like waste in the Defense Department anymore than I do elsewhere, Billy. Get back to me with a request for more of my money when the people in Washington learn how to treat what they get now in a proper manner.

I didn't say it didn't. I said you exaggerate it. However this is also a pretty relative issue.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

They all want to live in the best country in the world but none of them want to pay for it.

And they're damn quick to take the benefits taxes pay for while voting to let the 1% pay less than their fair share.

They vote to send jobs and companies to foreign countries where they enjoy the benefits of being US companies without paying for the privilege.
