Property taxes and local business taxes pay for law/fire/ems, federal income taxes have nothing to do with it. All we want is REASONABLE taxation, not an end to all taxes.

Let evolution happen

But could America exist without an income tax? The idea seems radical, yet in truth America did just fine without a federal income tax for the first 126 years of her history Yeah, it was just fine if you were a rich land owner or a rich anything. The poor had no plan to help them at all. There were no safety nets for the less fortunate among us and the poor had 2 choices, be dirt poor or rob banks, which would you choose? Now tell me about all the peons that became millionaires, But that leaves out the millions of poor that had squat! Taxation is here to stay. the plutocrats want to slice the pie in their favor, thats all!

The US Government started it meteoric rise to power starting in 1913 with the 16th amendment. With all taxation added on everything we do or purchase, the total taxes we pay is close to 70% of our income. In other words someone else gets to spend the majority of our money on what they want and not on what you want.

I`m always strapped so get rowdy i got a hairpin trigger and an itchy finger but i`d rather make em feel pain for the rest of their life.
If that was you out in wal-mart in one town then i drive an hour up towards a bigger city and see you again damn skippy i`m chasing after your ass.lmfao..

i got no problem with poor ppl i used to be one myself and i`ve paid my debts to society 100fold and although i`m not rich i should be for what uncle sam has handed out to people who do NOT DESERVE to live.

Those that do will at least attempt to have something in life.

my family who was raised by a single parent with 3 children and although my mother could barely afford to provide she always maintained a job when she could which was 90% of the time.

Even though she would of been better off just sitting on her ass once she got done paying the babysitter for all of us kids.

She did jobs i know some men can`t do now and that`s the problem to many loafing pussies and not enough real men.
