    Your opinion as usual is garbage and avoiding a point that defeats said opinion.

    The fact is, you have no standing.

    He is talking about Taxation for necessary functions of government for a common good or "general" welfare purpose. Not to redistribute income to others.

    It was a very simple observation not Rocket Science.

    He made some bizarre comments today.
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    Not getting anything.... interesting. Who's getting nothing for taxes paid? And be careful here; what should we get for taxes paid?

    You're getting incoherent. This started with paying for military protection, that's exchange, I get something in return. We can generalize that as we should get something in return for monies paid. If we don't, it's theft.

    According the Tax Foundation, the average taxpayer will work 104 days this year in order to pay his taxes. That is 104 days, almost a third of a year just to pay the government.

    Yes, slavery does still exist in this country.
