4. Has Joe (not) The Plumber paid up yet?
Bet he isn't the only squawking chicken hawk who owes the troops some back taxes.

3. They better raise every morsel they eat too
all that food in the stores gets grown with help and all of it gets transported over rails and roads

6. I considered laying it on really really thick...
farm subsidies, transport of goods, etc. but I thought I'd cut them some slack and let them breathe air and eat. ;)

8. You are kinder than I. I want them raising their own food and wearing loincloths
they grew, harvested, spun and wove their own damned selves. I have had it with the people where I live, thinking the paltry sum they pay in taxes actually provides all the things they personally use. They just need to learn about what we do communally as a nation and just how much benefit they personally draw from that communal well.

5. They should give back the tax cut Obama gave them too...
Ungrateful, obstinate eight-year-olds, the lot of them.

9. depends on WHY they don't pay taxes
and whether they are whining about it all.

The unemployed CAN'T pay taxes. For most of them, the system has failed them. For the better off who don't pay, fuck 'em and the hypocrisy they rode in on.

10. If you don't make money
then it's very hard to pay taxes. Most people acknowledge that. If you make money and spend it it's pretty hard in the US to not pay taxes.
