A patriot is most concerned with taxes?

SilverPatriot User ID: 10518597 United States 01/09/2013 07:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This comes from the dependent left who has a hive type mentality who believes the government has their best interests at heart and will always come to their rescue. Even after seeing their “dear leader obama” give the victims of Hurricane Sandy all types of promises of help flowing their way and they ended up with empty promises. Unless you count the tent shelters, where the victims were not allowed to come and go but the dependent class might not believe they were prisoners.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1447583 United States 01/09/2013 07:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | By the time you add up all the god damn taxes, we pay more than socialist countries. You know if Australia they have a top EFFECTIVE tax rate of just under 45% for their highest earners and they have no property taxes either. Here in the US, we have 39% marginal rate for top earners for federal taxes, plus payroll tax, plus state income taxes in a place like California for 13%, plus state sales tax (VAT), plus property tax, plus gasoline tax and then some of us have to buy our own health insurance....We pay more in terms of taxes than any socialist country and then we don't even get universal healthcare. I'm not a proponent of universal healthcare, but just look at how much better off citizens in other countries are. So the Aussies pay less in taxes than Americans and get healthcare covered by their taxes. And if any of you like the cold, Russia only has a 13% flat income tax and some small taxes on top of that. The point is, you'll keep much, much more of your income if you live in Russia. In the ass backwards world of today, a patriot is someone who doesn't stand up for their beliefs, doesn't question authority and just takes it up his fucking ass. |
The Sonic Dreamer User ID: 19453308 United States 01/09/2013 07:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | They said, "A real Patriot voices his opinion, especially when it is against a tyrannical government waging illegal war." Now a real Patriot turns his guns in, shuts up about any evidence which shows the government to be illegal, unconstitutional, rogue, etc., and then not only pays taxes, but does it with a smile. What fucking planet do I live on and what year is it? I think the government,via the msm is intentionally provoking real American patriots into rage and eventually violence. The msm has the anti-patriot rhetoric at about an 8 right now, and Obama is about to be given orders from the owners of the central banking system (fed res) to crank it up to 11...

I much rather to take a risk with a true free market, at least corporations in the free market can be brought down if what they offer is not desirable. Last Edited by Manu-K on 01/09/2013 07:27 PM Banned as usual. “It is far easier to be a weakling than to be a Real Man. Were the Earth less harsh or the circumstances of life less austere, man would destroy himself before the shrine of the languid goddess. Only Real Men can with safety destroy the tangled forests and wilderness of Earth and make from them gardens, but will those who inherit the gardens be Real Men? The law decrees that they must be, or the wilderness will reclaim its own.” |
