I said I didn't want people (not me) to pay taxes to support other people. It's not the job of this country to forcibly take time from one american, in order to give it to another american. That's loosing your freedom. It's the single most fundamental right of this country.

But that's already happening... Did you miss all the replies saying so?

According to you, many American people have been losing their freedom for years when they paid taxes. This is hilarious.

 

 

Sigh.... that's not the same.

Paying twice as much in taxes as a poor person, for a service we all receive, is far different then telling me I am going to pay for a service for that poor person, that I am not eligible for. 

I see how progressive taxes can be construed as indenturing people, but I am less worried about it if I am at least reaping a benefit from it.

Most of the time, rich people get more out of it. For example, Bill Gates has a much more to lose if we get invaded by another country, so it stands that he should pay more to protect it.

If I have an expensive car, I care that the roads are in better shape. I should pay more to maintain them.

Can you not see the difference?
