God damn I hate "People have to start paying their fair share of taxes"

the problem is, who the fuck decides what's "fair"

yeah who determines what is "fair"

^

exactly

Fair means more than me

I'm a expat in Canada and holy fuck do we pay taxes up the ass

in canada or the US?

Canada

So cali, in Halifax canada

why the hell would you move to canada lol

and I hatez it

The people who want to decide what's fair taxation for other people are always thieves.

at certain point, taxation is theft

I won't say all taxes are theft

Income tax is theft

would rather move to usage tax?

"their fair share"
"well the rich already pay 90% of taxes so what is fair? you seem like a freeloader"

living in canada has made me more libertarian, prolly cuz theres so much gov control here

Should I draw guts with sword or without

I'm fine with paying taxes on sales and property, but don't take the money I earned directly from my goddamn paycheck

"Why does the government always listen to the rich"
"Well the rich are paying more to the government so really you are driving on roads paid for by the rich."

think of them as shareholders...

I'm fine with paying taxes if I have a say in how they're spent.

^

the problem is few can agree how to correctly spend taxes

"in fact, i believe the whole point for the rich paying more WAS so you can freeload and not pay for the road"

That's what Representatives that we elect are supposed to do

collectively

"that was YOUR idea"

i'm cool with streets and cops and water safety and shit

I got nearly a 6k bonus from work, and I ended up with a little more than 3k

-.-

of course my city fills its potholes

They're supposed to represent us and propose what our tax money be spent on

dominoes fills potholes

The lack of accountability to taxpayers is what makes usage fees for government services so superior.
