Hey guys I wanted to open up some discussion about a topic that I get pretty heated about from time to time...
Yesterday I was taking a walk down Wall Street in Everett and I noticed a mob outside of the Wall Street Building with pickets. They were protesting about Donald Trump's tax plan. They stood their and bitched about how the rich are taxed at a lower percentage than the general population. So of course, they are calling for an increase in tax of the rich. They are calling for something to be done about the paradise papers. They are convinced that paying less taxes is an evil thing. I'm standing there in aw. Taxation is theft, we don't need to raise taxes to make things better, we need to lower taxes. 0.3% of my paycheck pays for the roads in my state. A 1% property tax (though I don't agree with it) pays for all of our schools and fire stations. And grown adults are actually standing here with signs acting as if federal income tax is totally legitimate. It's almost as if our income tax doesn't fund terrorist organizations and helps kill the innocent. RIGHT.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST FRAUDS PLACED ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE EVER.
I could go on and on about how I feel about taxes, but I really want to get your thoughts and opinions. What do you think of taxes? Could society survive without taxes? If so, how would we build roads? What about schools? Would we be more or less prosperous?
Let me know in the comments.
Thanks guys!
