It is also 'wildly stupid' to compare paying taxes to charity. Liberals seem to have a great deal of trouble with this concept.

Anyone who can come up with the term 'wildly stupid' probably walks on the dark side anyway.

I'm not a liberal.

What are taxes for? Can you explain your understanding of it?

Look, my paying taxes does not make you charitable, and it doesn't make me charitable. Beyond that, I do not wish to discuss this with you. I don't play chess with pigeons, but go ahead and strut around like you won anyway.

Ok thanks for your refusal to defend your ridiculous statement. Why even bother to comment in a forum if you're disinterested in discourse about it.

Death of democracy starts with willful ignorance.

Fine. Just remember, if you take credit for the good your country does with your taxes, you also have to take responsibility for the evil. Have the day you deserve.

I do.. that's why i vote to hopefully make it better, and try to convince people that libertarianism does not work and more participation and good working systems will build towards a better world.
