Fallingman: Let me see.....Boston Tea Party was supposedly against taxation without representation.....
so these modern day radicals are against taxation with representation?
Or is it that they don't want to be represented by anyone...?
It would be a wonderful joke if these anti-tax guys got their way. Think of how quickly the US would disintegrate if the tax system folded. Flat earthers would get their flat earth pretty quick!
You think we who pay taxes get representation? There are many cities in this country that charge an income tax for working within that city, yet we have no right to vote in that city's election. That is taxation without representation.
We are not about ending taxes totally. It is a change in the taxation structure. We want to abolish the IRS and their inferior practices and replace it with a consumption tax. You buy something you are taxed. The rich tend to buy bigger and more expensive things, so they pay more into the system. People that live here illegally will also pay into the tax system when thy purchase things, unlike today where they don't pay anything into the system, but are able to use it for free. A 23% consumption tax across the board will fill the government coffers faster and keep them full as opposed to the 25%+ income tax as well as a state sales tax which costs the people more yet yields much less.
