So you don't want to pay taxes?

I have never minded paying taxes. I don't want to pay more than my share. But considering everything I get it's a bargain. I'm talking about the commons that we all contribute to. I can't think of anything I would be willing to give up to avoid paying taxes.

You tell 'em, Ryan Dunn!

"Go out in the woods and eat bark". That's a classic.

i bet that guy gets his ass kicked alot.

Great stuff asher....
love the condom thread, taking this to the next level.
your energy is bionic i this video- fantastic stuff!

Love it! :)

LOL. Ryan Dunn! Classic. Taxes are a must, it is just that we are increasingly paying more than our share. We used to have the some of the lowest taxes on the planet and still had a damn good standard of living. Now we are among the most taxed countries in the world with the same mentality that were not being taxed that much. And people are so much angered about paying taxes, they are angered that the government sucks at efficiently spending them. That's all. Cool video, just a bit misguided. High School kids are dumb asses, and i remember having that corporate flag in the background in my English class in high school. Ryan Dunn, you are a dumb ass too, actually. Cool video though.

I think it's more about how many taxes we pay, rather than how big the taxes are. Even if the taxes are cheap, it adds up quickly.

I don't mind paying taxes until I see what my taxes go for.

tripe! this guy needs to do some research. and what about those of us that DON'T use scocial programs?

I don't drive, so why should I pay for roads?... let alone a road that I will never see OR even use. not to mention the FACT that in the state of Idaho, where I live, ALL funding for roads comes from fines, fees, or tolls... so actually I don't pay for roads.

as for the whole water/sewer/electricity thing. I have one question for you. if my taxes pay for water to be piped to my house why do I still have to pay a water bill, sewer bill and electric bill?

on public education, I have NO children and I went to a private school. so why should I have to pay for your dumbass kids education? when even my own wasn't payed for by taxes.

as for food stamps and subsidized anything... I never used them, nor could I even qualify. so why should I be FORCED to pay for your broke ass to have a house and eat when I have to pay FULL price for everything I use.

on financial aid... these should all be researched... because most people aren't qualified for most government grants.

labor laws have NOTHING to do with paying taxes. ONLY buisnesses pay the taxes for workers comp.

as for police and fire department I agree with paying a tax for that... but then why is it that we get a bill from the fire department afterward?

as for the military, if I wanted to support that in anyway I would have joined the marines or something.

I wouldn't mind paying taxes if I actually got a proportional return of any sort. however as it is, I would rather pay out of pocket for everything and NOT lose half my paycheck to feed profesional politicians and pay for a runaway military budget and hire more corrupt and inhumane police officers...

if I didn't HAVE to give all this money away for nothing, then I COULD afford a doctor and I wouldn't be forced to toss away my much needed money to insurance companies. just a thought.

Get yourself a little island somewhere and go it alone. Figure out how to take care of yourself. Declare yourself a country and don't have taxes.

asherp:

the water and electricity companies here are both private monopolies, and NOT state entities, so they bill themselves, NOTHING from taxes pays for any electricity or water. and yes we're getting screwed.

also workers comp is payed by BUISNESSES, not you or me, unless we own these buisness, which few people do.

on getting bills from the fire department... you don't live in idaho do you? yeah, they send you a bill afterwards.

you trying to justify the missing half of my check by telling me that it gives me a courtroom and judge to file my complaints about labor? wow, so what if I never use that courtroom? can I have my money back?

I'm not saying I shouldn't pay taxes, all I'm saying is that the examples given in the video are weak and uninformed. the fact is, where I live nearly all funding for the state comes from fines, fees, sales tax, lottery taxes, and service tax. and NOTHING from income tax goes to anything for the state other than income for government officials and cronies (cops included), and scocial programs.

my argument is this, why should I be forced fund rigged elections or corrupt cops, feed and house bums and breeders, or be forced to pay for roads that I don't use. when I could use that money to fund projects equally as important that I DO use and DO support. why is it that the lowest earning incomes are also the highest taxed?

the ONLY fair taxes are tolls and sales tax. unless EVERYONE pays a flat tax of whatever percent it's not fair to charge ANY income tax.

so, still I wonder... what about those of us who NEVER use these scocial programs? can we have our money back? why should I work at all if I can be like these moochers and just live off the taxes you all pay while I sit at home and make more babies to mooch off the tit of your precious welfare state.

I want my money back!

Hey, that's why California is so f*cked up right now, because voters were idiots and blindly voted for anything that said "NO TAXES" on it. Now we're out of money and people are STILL refusing to pay taxes. Sorry, but it just makes me sick.

asherp:

'sucks being poor, and we're the ones who drive the economy. When we run out of money, the rest of the economy falls down.'

so you think that taking MORE money from these people is the best answer? why not let them have every dollar they earn? they would spend it how they choose and such spending would help the economy... no middle men, no bills or laws, nothing, just people spending the money they earned on the things they choose... if they want to save that money then hey, all the closer to the 'top'... as it is taxes deny the right to become one of those at the top. see it makes sense when you think about it.

That is trickle down economics. Favored by the Republicans. Has it been working for anyone other than the very top. No, that is the reason for the mess we are in.
