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.
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.
Yep you're right but as I said the Military, including care of veterans, is in my opinion, the ONLY thing the federal government should be spending tax money on.

I work outside, solo home/garden business, packing up at the end of the day homeowner comes out and asks me "aren't you tired'? One day the temp was around 35, I was boxing in some posts on the front porch and homeowner comes out and tells me to go home because it is too cold to work outside....doing a landscape job on a hot day I am dripping wet with sweat and have a question so I ring the bell, homeowner comes out and says he cannot walk around the side of the house because it is too hot....etc...
not only do many not work but many people have never actually done any hard work for ten minutes...that's why 50% of the USA are fat slobs....

1/3 of American men are walking alone with a mask on or driving with a mask on alone or even riding a bicycle alone and yes a mask on. 1/3 of the men in America have drank the cool aid of this administration and the media’s for are scared to death by their rhetorical!
I love the smell of burning spruce---I love the sound of a spring time goose---I love the feel of 40 below---from my trapline I will never go!
Are you going to praise the crack dealer who doesn't report and pay taxes on his profits?
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.

Here I’ll go slow for you.

I don’t consider anyone that keeps money from someone who doesn’t know how to spend it wisely a parasite. I wish more Americans would do it.
People who take their hand off the wagon without climbing on the wagon should be praised not demonized as well.

Praise? No. But if he lives solely off the proceeds of his business then what infrastructure has he utilized that he didn't have a hand in paying for? He's still paying for roads when he buys gas so he can roll down the street in his 6-4.
Crack kills. But so does tobacco, and they see it as legitimate enough to tax the snot out of it.

I feel great paying taxes I want to pay more until I cannot afford to live. LOL Look back at 84 billion dollars of equipment left behind and pallets of cash given to Terrorists then trillions of dollars wasted on a 20 year war plus money given to countries that hate us. Now who would not be willing to give just a little more. If you don’t pay they make up new taxes to take more from you so all they want is more!

Having worked closely with business owners for 40 years doing financial planning and tax prep, I found those that spent a lot of time trying to avoid paying taxes, typically wound up in more financial difficulty than those that managed their taxable income by being far better financial planners.

I personally know two guys that inherited well, then decided they were going to fight the Gubmint on inheritance tax. They both lost. Remember back when the farmers all drove their tractors to D.C to protest grain prices? One of them ran over some police motorcyces with his tractor. He was one of them that didn't beat the Gubmint inheritance tax.

The ol' TMan strategy of calling someone a democrat when they have nothing better to say. I actually thought you were a little smarter than that.
Remember, you said:
I don’t consider anyone that keeps money from someone who doesn’t know how to spend it wisely a parasite. I wish more Americans would do it.

You are caught up on the wrong part. Let's use you and stick with the crack dealer. You earn $25 and all of the cake you can eat playing cover songs at some kid's birthday party. A crack dealer earns $1000 selling crack. Both of you have reportable and taxable income. Yes, the crack dealer committed a crime in earning his money. However, if you and the crack dealer fail to report your incomes and pay taxes on it (if owed) both of you have committed exactly the same federal crime. So, praise yourself and him too. From a taxation standpoint, you are the same people.
Nobody hates paying taxes more than me. Nobody hates wasteful spending more than me--and most of it is. I am however never going to condone someone not pulling their weight just because they don't want to--especially when the rest of us are paying their way.

Do you consider anyone who's not working a 9-5 job a parasite? Because if you read that article you would have seen many reasons for people not being counted on the unemployment roles and not all of them were because the people weren't working. If someone saves all their life and retires at 40, is that person a parasite? Are people who make a living fishing or trapping a parasite? What about ones who make enough to live playing the stock market? The shade tree mechanic that only works with cash? Because those were all listed as reasons for people not working in that article. Now you can make the argument that some of those people are tax cheats and you would be right... but does that make them a parasite? Not in my mind! I say more power to them!
Now if you're talking about the people that just sitting on welfare (which, interestingly, your article never even mentioned) then I would agree with you!
Tax cheats and welfare cheats are cheats.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.
