I didn't think it was Biden's decision to increase the staff of IRS, but if people were honest they would pay their taxes- the shortfall is appalling -only a traitor would dodge taxes. It's not a badge of honour to defraud your neighbour/family.
You are right. Here is how I should have responded initially: "Everything you write is false. Shouldn't you be posting in the conspiracy sub-thread?" Is that better?
Defrauding? Do you know how long the U.S. existed before we had an income tax? And at what level the income tax wasn't supposed to exceed when introduced? Any idea how much taxes a productive person pays when you consider taxes on Federal, state, city, county, property, gasoline, alcohol, tobacco, firearms and a host of other things? The ones doing the defrauding are the rent-seeking politicians and bureaucrats who live off our taxes and future debt and produce nothing of value.
MK I have no words, but if you want to change it,become a politician. Only a cesspit dwelling snake evades taxes- which pay for a civilised society. In the UK we try to look after the less fortunate. It's flawed but it's human.
Canada.... Oh, we are only temporarily doing this income tax thing to support our needed war-effort... everyone needs to pick sides in this war and join in you know? Fast forward to today... Yeah, about that income tax thing. We've jacked it up so that you lose over half your wages, but we can't stop it now. We've got a growing debt problem here that will take generations to pay off...
Or if our U.S. situation is looked at in another way, i.e., the correct way, there really is no debt. Instead there is a growing, at this point anyway, future obligation to either print more outside money in the form of Bank Reserves or in the form of Treasuries. It's obvious this obligation has practical limits. But the amount of these limits is indeterminable without making specific assumptions about the future. We can know the past with 100% accuracy; but not the future. It seems to me that we should therefore be more careful regarding what we spend money on.
