mrussel1 said:That's your state issue, not a federal one. I'm in VA and I think we are fairly taxed. At the federal level, corporations and businesses are way under taxed based on our liabilities. We have to make difficult decisions. There's an old saying (you teach history, so I imagine you know it..) Guns or Butter. Well the Republicans chose "both".

mrussel1 said:BTW @mcgruff10, this meme is factually wrong. 401k's are taxed as ordinary income, not capital gains. And it's ironic because cap gains are at 15% (if making less than a half million, otherwise 20%), which is probably a touch lower than ordinary income for an upper middle class. So it's wrong, but then the lie and inaccuracy compounds the wrong. I'm pretty sure a child wrote this, and an idiot passed it on.I'll ride the wave where it takes me......0

Posts: 9,487mrussel1 said:How do you promote the general welfare with a zero% tax rate? Shall we rely on charity? Have you ever actually deeply thought through what you advocate, or is it just random streams of consciousness (and memes)?
And yeah charities certainly do a great deal of good, to believe that they can’t do the job without government is rather foolish.
I think about it often. No man has the right to the labor of another.0 -

And by the way, the passage from Matthew was in direct response to the question of whether it was lawful for Jews to pay taxes to the Romans.0

If only there was some system in place to determine what constitutes general welfare. Perhaps citizens could voice their opinion with some sort of survey. Or better yet, designate persons can use those opinions to establish some sort of guidelines. A law, if you will.
"No man has the right to the labor of another."
That is true, slavery was abolished. Very good.
Labor theory of property holds that property comes about by the exertion of labor upon natural resources. You don't own all the resources that contribute to your property. Accordingly, you don't own all the property that results from your labor.
