IF YOU DON'T LIKE TAXES GO SOMEWHERE THEY DON'T HAVE TAXES LIKE AFRICA AND LET ME KNOW HOW THAT WORKS!
African nations are always on the bottom of the list when it comes to economic freedom.
This has to be a troll, it just has to. You cannot claim to be a admirer of freedom and think it proper for the gov't to confiscate 90% of somebody's income.
you just can't.
What the hell kind of lessons did your parents teach you?

Congrats. That has absolutely zero to do with the massive amount of money we spend on welfare programs in this country.
But statist on little statist.
i felt particularly statist when i voted for Gary Johnson the last two elections and Ron Paul the one before.

conservatives give more money to charity each year than liberals?
You do realize you can oppose taxes, and still support giving money to others, right?

if that sounds appealing you should strive for it
I made min wage out of HS while going to college, I didn't stay there.
If you spend your life making min wage, you're a class A frickup.
You have no concept how the world works outside of your tiny bubble

f that sounds appealing you should strive for it. personally i'm looking for more out of life, and while i love making money, i have no problem not making as much so other people don't starve.
And that's 100% ok for you to live that way. The problem is that you also feel that because you live this way, and you think it is the "correct" way, that others must be forced to live the same way and support your views.
To that I say go frick yourself.

i like how you assume i don't do anything with my money, based off of nothing more than i have a different political opinion than yours. good stuff.

I don't give a frick how you voted. The fact remains in this very thread you think it's ok for someone to make 20 million of THEIR money and have the government take 18 million of it. Because they can live "perfectly fine" on 2 million according to you.
That's not libertarian. That's straight up statist authoritarian.

Guess your convictions have their limits. What amount are you willing to go down to to ensure others don't starve? How did you come to that number?

Chuck schemer flat lied about dynamic scoring.
I wonder if too many people are too stupid to understand dynamic scoring

Are you stupid? Where do you think having the opinion that it's perfectly ok for the government to confiscate 90% of a person's earnings and give it to others falls?
Where do you think having the opinion that certain people "make too much" falls?

And at the bottom, the lowest wage earners paid a much larger percent of their income to the basic needs of survival like rent and food. How come they have to pay so much just to survive?

One of the fathers of left libertarians favored abolishing taxes, except on private property

We are talking about taxation in this thread. How much did those people pay in taxes? How much did they get from the government?
