Senator Harry Reid - Taxation is Voluntary (uh…what?)

» by Zap Brannigan in: FHK

This is beyond stupid. Its such a perfect example of how Liberals won’t call a duck a DUCK. (Hat tip to my buddy, Mustard, for pointing me to the link)

Is Taxation Voluntary?

    I don’t know which is funnier, Zap. The notion that we have a “voluntary” tax system (as in you can voluntarily pay your taxes or you can voluntarily go to jail), or the fact that you have a buddy named Mustard. ;-)

    Did anyone read the comments on the web site linked? It’s hilarious! These libtards are actually trying to support Reid’s comments! By their reasoning, taxation actually IS voluntary because we can chose to not pay and go to jail. I pointed out that by that reasoning there is no such thing as compulsory, everything is voluntary.

    There was no federal income in the U.S until Lincoln needed money for the civil war,then during world war II,they were raised to near current levels,then again in 1986 to todays.During emergencys the federal government can do this,politicians just never repealed the tax emergencies and spent so much on assistance programs that now we’d go bankraupt as a goverment without raising them.Of course in all reality they are out of control and will continue so.Mandatory meant the King sent armed men to your home to collect,politicians use cleaver language and describe them as voluntary in our country because its an honor system that you do yourself through forms and w-2’s.But king still lives its the IRS,a agency outside the government that collects almost the same way the king did except they wear nice suits and send threatning letters and mafia like high interest penalitys that will eventually ruin and destroy your life if you don’t pay,even the possibility of jail.Remember thats how Al Capone was taken down,he deserved it but after that worked out the government figured they could use that on the very public they serve.

    Why DID the Chicken Cross the Road?

What we need to do is help him realize how stupid he’s acting by not taking on his CURRENT problems before adding NEW problems.

    OPRAH: Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why he wants to cross this road so bad. So instead of having the chicken learn from his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I’m going to give this chicken a car so that he can just drive across the road and not live his life like the rest of the chickens...(Continue Reading)

    In an effort to clear out criminals in the area, Iraqi army soldiers raided several houses in the city of Jabella, Iraq, May 2.

    New Study: Conservatives are Happier Because They Hate Everyone

    There is a news report starting to make the rounds amongst the MSM on a study that claims to have discovered why conservatives tend to be happier than liberals and it is just the sort of bilge that the MSM loves to promulgate. We may see more of it over the next several days because, while it is titled “Conservatives Happier Than Liberals,” it is basically saying that the reason conservatives are happier is because they just don’t care about other people....(Publius' Forum)

     

    Why Would you 'Kidnap' a Pirate

    This is the same idiocy as treating arrested Islamic terrorists as criminals, instead of putting them up against the wall. The evidence that jihadi’s, once released or ‘escaped’ from prison, return to the battlefield, is overwhelming. A dead enemy doesn’t return to kill your soldiers. The French should know that.
