One parasite might be calling another a tax cheat. Some folks feel a moral obligation to not support illegitamate government.

Are you going to praise the crack dealer who doesn't report and pay taxes on his profits?

Some people work hard their whole life to enjoy retirement, the military 20 year deal has always been a option for some for giving up control of their lives I have no issues with that.

Then some work to get to get on assistance or win the welfare lottery and get on disability and never needing to work again.

What I like best about tax court is the burden of proof is on the taxpayer. Whole system needs scrapped.

Our military's goal should be to prevent, and failing that, stop invasion. Armed citizens cost government nothing. Our military could easily be cut 75%.

Welfare should end. Charity should be voluntary

I don't have a problem either. I do think a fair discussion would be had though on whether the 20 years should be increased because of longer life expectancies. The same discussion would also be fair on other 20 year service requirements. 38 years old today isn't the same as it used to be.

So do you know what his disability is? The military considers my husband disabled but he can and DID work all his life until retirement despite that. The reason he is considered disabled is because the military caused him to lose his hearing. I guess they feel loss of hearing is a disability worth being compensated for. My husband of course was able to work, but there were also jobs he could have otherwise done but was unable to because of his hearing. Remember that not all disabilities are visible.

Opinions are a dime a dozen, but my opinion is that people who avoid paying taxes to the federal government are NOT parasites.



I'm trying to think how I benefit in any way from Federal taxes. The only thing I can come up with is the rare occasions that I use an Interstate highway. And the military of course. The military is the one thing I don't mind my tax dollars going to though. If the federal gov't would be doing what they SHOULD be doing which is basically worrying about defense of our country and nothing else, I wouldn't mind paying taxes.

Duh
a simple math lesson.
1+1=2
50 years + 20 years = 70. I've been retired for 5 years = 75

Good for you. Enjoy! I still don't know why you commented about a story that is about "working age" men 16 through 64, except to tell us you worked for 50 years. Congratulations!!.

That least the retired people are paying their taxes with earned money that we planned on unlike the never ending welfare system that spans generations.

Knees. He still plays in an adult soccer leauge, in addition to aspiring to look like the Incredible Hulk.

I am not saying all. I am saying some.

No offense but one big way you benefit are your husband's military disability payments. Those are funded by federal tax dollars.

I'll assume those go into your household income category.

Everybody should pay thier fair share. The Taliban needs better weapons and illegal aliens need free health care.

Wasteful spending is the real problem.

lol

You really are an idiot. Equating a criminal activity to someone working their (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) off legally.

The infrastructure that I use is paid for by the fees I have to pay to participate, or so I was told that.

As an example, tolls on toll roads are there to pay for the maintenance. That the government has put a booger on it isn’t the users issue.

They have a high risk, short life span career. They are exempt. LOL.

I read that, I can't see that pass an become law, that ridiculous an stupid an accomplish nothing, I hate binden, worse thing happen , was hope trump stay in office

"Just $102 billion of that $3.2 trillion will go to provide food and nutrition assistance money to the needy, and only $196 billion on other public assistance programs. Direct payments to help offset the cost of education, training and employment services will add up to only $77 billion.
Government robs Peter to pay ... Peter?"

Boom! Gone! Now the deficit is down to 600 billion. That don't address the problem. Military cut by 75 % Boom! Gone! Now the deficit is75 billion. In 2019. The federal deficit in 2020 was $3.1 trillion, Oops!

A tax cheat and a crack dealing tax cheat are both criminals. In one instance, you may not approve of the off the books income. If the truck driving tax cheat is praised for breaking the law, why not praise the crack dealing tax cheat?

I'll do this step by step for you.

PS. I hate taxes.

" The Whiskey Rebellion
Famous Whiskey Insurrection in Pennsylvania. 1794. In: Devens, Our First Century. p. 161. Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division.

It all started with a tax. What came to be known as the Whiskey Rebellion of 1794, or the Western Insurrection, took place over a period of time beginning in 1791 by most accounts. While some would say the roots go back much further, it was not until March 3, 1791 that Congress instituted an excise tax on distilled liquors that set the rebellion of 1794 in motion."

Washington's former best troops. No good deed goes unpunished.
