Just as protection money to keep the mafia from torching your store or breaking your kneecaps doesn't count as a business expense, taxes don't count as payment.

Just sayin...

Whatever the fuck this is supposed to mean, I suggest you need to lay off the crack.

Crack is whack. What evidence do you have that supports the notion that I am in any way a drug abuser?

Warren Buffett, in a recent interview with CNBC, offers one of the best quotes
I've heard in all this drama about the debt ceiling:
"I could end the deficit in 5 minutes," he told CNBC.
"You just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit
of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress
are ineligible for re-election."

Three cheers for Buffy old boy!

The xenophobic quotient of the thread is now rising. I really hoped such hateful and blind garbage would not have taken root.

You know as well as I do that it is meant to suggest that the complete senselessness of what you wrote might (in jest) be explained by the use of mind-altering drugs. Hence the LOL emoticon.

If we adopted the fair tax, everyone would pay taxes.

Illegals have to buy stuff, as well as drug dealers and prostitutes.

A fair tax sounds good at first but once you really look in to it more it's another GOP FU to the poor and working poor
A fair tax will place a 30% tax on everything your phone bill cable bill rent food you name it there's that 30% or higher tax plus there will be on top of that the state tax
no thanks rule number one only a fool would trust the GOP to fix or make a fair tax system

But if you read the fair tax proposal, the government will send out rebates each month to poor families.

So if the poverty rate is $12,000 per person per year, and the fair tax is 25%, the government will send the poor people $3,000 a year back.

The way I would do it is to make water, bread, milk, fruits, vegetables, rent, and all the essentials not subject to the tax.

So, being forced by an organization to pony up money under the threat of violence and then calling the the money that has been extorted as part of "paying your dues" or "taxes" or whatever you want to call it counts as a legitimate payment for goods and services? It is extortion money, plain and simple and no matter what it is used for, be it good or bad, it is still extortion money. I do not see the "senselessness" of calling a spade a spade.

This all started with your post that read "taxes don't count as payment" in reference to my post about undocumented workers paying taxes. "Goods and services" had nothing to do with it. Go back and read the initial post I responded to of yours, and the subsequent posts, and perhaps take a stab at telling me what the fuck you're talking about.
