Why do Americans feel like taxes are somehow the government robbing them of money?

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid is vowing to use Senate rules to block the entire appropriations process — an aggressive new phase in the Democrats’ legislative strategy that could invite charges that he’s creating the same kind of gridlock Reid accused Republicans of when they were in the minority.
For Democrats, the risks are worth it. By playing hardball this summer, they’re attempting to force Republicans to the negotiating table and hasten a deal to raise strict spending caps, expanding funds for programs like education and infrastructure, among other Democratic priorities.

And, ironically, being in the minority may put his party in a better position to get what he wants. If the GOP refuses to negotiate and a government shutdown occurs, the blame will likely fall to conservatives who control both chambers of Congress.
At a closed-door Democratic leadership meeting Tuesday night, Reid (D-Nev.) vowed that his caucus wouldn’t allow a single spending measure to get a floor vote, sources familiar with the meeting say. And on Thursday at noon, his top lieutenants announced their party’s intentions to filibuster and prevent Republicans from even calling up the spending measures.

YAWN

the very same stupid people Progressives keep blaming all their own failures on

really gets old watching libs make fools of themselves this way, and in their arrogance they simply cannot see how stupid they look calling people stupid out of one side of their mouths, and blaming the "stupid" people for "obstructing" the best-laid plans of the so-called intelligent and enlightened Progressives

I just can‘t seem to understand why so many Americans are extremely sensitive when it comes to taxes, and often oppose strongly of a progressive tax system.

Any thinking person takes exception when the state forces people to provide goods and services to others without compensation - that is, state enforced involuntary servitude.

I just can't seem to understand why you aren't a thinking person.

You obviously don't make enough money to realize how much the government takes from some people.

A single dollar of a person's income is taxed over and over again via income tax, social security tax, property tax, sales tax, gasoline tax, state and federally.

Then when you die they take 40% of your lifetime earnings from you.

It's bullshit.

let's abolish our drug war to lower our tax burden.

Making more junkies so they can be as stupid as you will cost us more money in the long run

What we do now is insane, we punish users for crimes directly related to their addiction, allow a billion dollar black market to exist, and pretend "Just say NO!" is an effective tool to mitigate experimentation.

The war on drugs is a failure.

That's right we punish those who break the law.... parents should raise their children better

why not abolish those social laws and let parents raise their children?

They do already. To bad people like you tel them it is cool to be a criminal junkie

The social contract is a liberal myth.

It is a way to justify the thievery. Another way of the welfare queens saying "you owe it to me".

All for less taxes but how do you think we will pay for the soldier that fights for you to be so ignorantly selfish ?

Then they'll blame the Republicans for increasing the deficit.

 

[OnePercenter]

So is that a code for you wanting a 90% tax on the highest bracket?

And don't give me a fair share since the top already pays what? 80% of all the federal taxes...

I would ask Mathew but he just dodges the question.

The top 10% pay less percentage of their total income in federal tax than you.

Defense is a legitimate function of government. One of the very few. You can add police, courts and few things like that to the list.

What is not legitimate and the reason why taxation is slavery is when money is taken from the people that earned it and given to the assholes that didn't earn it. That is when taxation becomes thievery.

The greedy and selfish people are the ones that use government to get what they are too sorry to earn themselves.

None of the above. Government shouldn't own land except for where government facilities are located.

Most of those are local taxation and departments and not national. The federal government was "supposed" to have limited spending and for the good of most or all people in the country. States, counties and cities can spend more freely.

Canada has a shit load of land, who should own it?

The government should sell off or give away whatever land it holds. There is simply no justification for the government to be owning large areas of the country.

Who's going to buy it? Who's pays to maintain it? Who pays to put out the fire on it?

The owner, of course.

I think you'll find plenty of people lining up to buy every acre of federal land in the USA, and most of it in Canada, even the frozen wasteland.

Because you don't get out much your argument is that National Parks are 'bullshit?'

Name one Public Works Department that hasn't received, or isn't currently receiving federal funds.

Maybe you can post the list.
