Scalia Suggests Students 'Revolt' If Taxes Get Too High

Scalia is an embarrassment to the Supreme Court. Just how far are justices allowed to wander before they are declared incompetent and senile?

Progs teach students to be passive, subservient to the State. We need more people like Scalia. There are too many Obama Zombie supporters who think "We the People" only means Obama and Val Jarrett

If government thinks it can tax indiscriminately, as a nation we're in for a shitload of hurt. Scalia, as usual, is right.

As usual you misread something to make it suit your insipid agenda. What Scalia was suggesting was that revolution is the end game for someone who thinks the government is being wrong/unfair. He said it is always an option, you know, because this country was FOUNDED on a revolution.

"....Obama called for what would be the highest level of sustained taxation ever imposed on the American people, according to the analysis published last week by the Congressional Budget Office."

are you including state/local/property/fees etc. etc. etc. that we all pay and do not notice?

How Low Are U.S. Taxes Compared to Other Countries? - Derek Thompson - The Atlantic

The graph at the top of this article comes from a KPMG report excavated by Henry Blodget. It shows personal tax rates on $100,000 around the world. The U.S. comes in at 55th out of 114.

Well, that's certainly a stepdown from your claim that the US has some of the lowest taxes in the world. Then add state and local, which few other countries have and a progressive tax structure.

It does include state and local

But these numbers might understate how low taxes have been in the U.S. Unlike most advanced economies, the U.S. don't supplement personal income taxes with a national sales tax, or value-added tax (VAT). Consumption taxes accounted for about a fifth of total U.S. revenue in 2008 (mostly at the state and local level) compared to an OECD average of 32 percent. In other words, the U.S. relies uniquely on personal tax rates to raise revenue -- and we have relatively low personal tax rates.

This, like so many other things Scalia has done, takes the cake.

What the OATH TAKERS did in Nevada and what the Tea Party has done..is very much what pre - 1933 Nazis were involved in.

The other shoe is that all the other countries that the US is compared with, in terms of taxation, don't have the burden of maintaining the Largest Military in the World..which spends more than the next SEVERAL top militaries.

Scalia is emboldened. He says something truly outrageous, nobody says a damn thing, so he takes another step. And another. And another. We are becoming inured to his insanity.

No, from your link:

I trust you understand what "understate" means. The US does not have exceptionally high taxes, but it is certainly not among the lowest. State and local taxes are non-existent in most countries, but amount to about 20% of total taxation in the US.

King and Malcolm X refused to serve on the Democrat Plantation. They were reactionaries so LBJ had them both assassinated

The USA has the world's number 1 economy. You got something that's better than number 1?
