Was that back when the US army comprised 100,000 men with little more than bolt action rifles?Can you point to the bible verse where Jesus commanded that we pay taxes to the government?Christian charity maybe?
You know...wanting to take care of their fellow citizens like Jesus commanded?
I recall him overturning the taxmans tables in the temple...……….
You’re not much of a Christian, are you?
Jesus didn’t overturn the taxman’s table in the Temple. He overturned the money changers’ tables. They changed Roman and Greek money for Jewish money, taking a profit from those they served. Jesus took issue to profit being made in the Lord’s house.
“Render to Ceasar what is Caesar’s”. Money is a government concept and Jesus dealt in spiritual matters but on money he was clear: “The love of money is the root of all evil.”
Americans want a first world country and taxes are your share of the cost of living in a first world country. If you want to live tax free, there are lots of countries you can move to but it’s going to cost you for round the clock security to protect you from thieves. The roads, if there are any, are crap and don’t drink the water and be careful with the food.
Taxes aren’t the theft of your hard earned dollars. Their your share of the costs of running your country, paying for your schools, roads and infrastructure, and that huge ass military you seem to deem necessary to your defence.
Liberal tax policy is such that it's making this country 3rd world country slowly but surely.
Oh by the way, the taxes used to be 5%, now they are 40%. Why are they so high? So that you could have bunch of free stuff. That's not civilization...
That was back when America was great unique country that had figured out how to become very rich.
Today we are experts at reverting all that process, along with pissing over genetic capital that took tens of thousands of years to accumulate.
There is nothing that the leftists aren't interested in destroying. Only by destroying can they have a level footing with all the superior people.
