Dem Rep. Quigley on Taxes: ‘If You Love This Country, One of the Things You Do Is Pay Your Fair Share’

Ancient Rome

Rome indeed.

I used England as an example because the colonials only knew of Ancient Rome from their history books, but we imported England's legal, economic, and political systems, not to mention the language and culture. The British systems were familiar to them.

Remind me of how many nations in the world that doesn't tax.

Remind of all the lies Biden has made. Except for the green energy crap.

 

[multivita-man]

Doesn't matter since they too had taxation. Try tax avoision for yer whiney soul.

Indeed again. The very reason the constitutional convention was called was because pre-constitutional federalism wasn't working too well. The smarter among them understood that a central federal power was needed to lay and collect taxes. I'm certainly not arguing that Hamilton and Jefferson envisioned the IRS and bureaucracies like the Social Security Administration, but sorry, taxes are a thing.

I don't really equate paying taxes with love of country - no idea why anyone came up with that silly-ass idea, lol. To me it's more like membership dues. You wanna be a member? Pay up. It's wrong to enjoy living in an advanced country like ours and expect not to pay anything for its upkeep.

"Fair share" is new-marxist-speak for wealth confiscation and redistribution.

One nation "doesn't", many nations "don't".

That's the problem with living in a democracy, you don't get to do whatever you want.

Who lives in a democracy these days?

My "fair share" of your welfare check is zero. My fair share of Green Energy programs is zero

Dem Rep. Quigley on Taxes: 'If You Love This Country, One of the Things You Do Is Pay Your Fair Share'.​

​

Saturday, during an appearance on MSNBC, Rep. Mike Quigley (D-IL) defended the so-called Inflation Reduction Act’s provision to bolster the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) with an additional 80,000 agents.​

​

According to Quigley, paying taxes was part of it if one “loved” the country.​

You don’t pay jack shit. i bet you earn $56k and paid around $5k in taxes after standard deduction and exemptions.

Yet, when the GOP is in charge they spend and water just as much if not more than the Democrats.

They spend and water?

Always amazes me how when billionaires pay millions in taxes and half the country pays zero, lefties say that the billionaires aren't paying their fair share.

How many nations in the world had elections before 1789?

Ancient Greece had elections. So did medieval Venice. The first British general election was held in 1708.

How do I know all this? Google. You may want to try it. Good luck

If somebody think it is my "patriotic duty" to pay taxes that go for a bloated and wasteful government and a welfare state then they are batshit crazy.

Besides FIT, what is another tax your patriotic ass hates to pay?

 

[Orangecat]

There's no such word as "avoision".

 

[fncceo]

I figure start it out slow and build-up to it.

Actually, you'd only get one chance to cut it back in a drastic action.

From that point it will continue to climb again.

Politicians can't keep from promising "free stuff " and we can't keep from voting for them.

So you Moon Bats think that you can use the filthy government to steal money to satisfy your Socialist greed?

No socialist greed from me.
I'm not collecting unemployment, or on Medicare or Medicare, I'm not on disability. I'm not on welfare or any food stamp/assistance program.

Is Flash on ANY of these?

I wanna know which conservative posters HERE that Hate Socialism are also on Disability.

Your freedom? Whose freedom do you mean? Do you have an example of such a utopia anywhere in human history or is this just some ideological fantasy?
