This isnt the middle ages, taxes are not a punishment. If you didnt pay taxes, or if rich people payed the same amount as the poor, how do you propose that a country should function? Heres the answer: IT CANT. I cant begin to say how pissed off it makes me when people bitch about taxes. Then when taxes get lowered, they bitch about how the government cant pay for anything and is irresponsible with money. If you dont want to do your part to keep your government functioning, then go build a cabin somewhere in the mountains and be completely self-reliant for a year. I bet youll have a change of heart after that.

See, taxes are vital. Nothing would work without them - they're not a punishment.

It's when taxes are unnecessarily forced upon those who cannot possibly handle them when the rich have to pay a similar amount and are swimming in loose change.

Fair enough, but it still means we are being punished for working...

If we didn't have taxes then we would be much much richer

If we had taxes the apsame as the poor we would probely be able to afford something like a Lamborghini reventon...

*sigh*

Lock this shit please.

I know it's not intended as punishment, and I never said to stop taxes I just used it as an example

But all in all my point still stands

I still think everyone should have the same amount of tax, it's thier fault that they don't have enough money...

Don't be so ignorant - I find that offensive.

I have barely a penny to my name and I still manage to go to college, hold down TWO jobs and have enough time to sleep.

I work my ass off to survive while those riding on Chrome 24" wheels get money handed to them on a plate 90% of the time.

You have time for sleep!? WTF!? I go to uni, work two (technically three if you include an internship), but I don't have any time for sleep. /<object class="emojione" data="https://resources.enjin.com/1489581540/themes/core/images/emojione/svg/2639.svg?0" type="image/svg+xml" standby=":(">:(</object>

Well first off I was talking more about adults not students

Secondly I speak for my perents on this, they work thier f*cking asses off to get what they earn, they diserve it, my mum works as a part time GP and my dad runs his dental company, people like footballers and other sports deserv nothing, they run around kick a ball, I understand there is skill needed but only to a level.

On the other hand, rock stars do get a lot, because they have talent and put hours of practice In whe as footballers (from what I see) spend twenty hours a week running around on a pitch while they get payed ten quid every meter they step...

It's rediculosly unfair on everyone, the poor, the semi rich and even possibly the rich but that life, no changing it, last time ended up in large scale war... (WW2)

U ask for lock then post again?!?

U mad? Lol

Taxes didn't cause World War 2...
