re: In theory, would you be OK with only letting citizens vote if they filed their taxes?

You ask for what would be taxed, I post directly from the TN department of revenue and you pretend you don’t see and post insults

Maybe he's trying the election judge approach. "What evidence? Case dismissed!"

I think he wants me to go through item by item.

Tennis shoes -12%
Fishing poles-18%
Truck tires-10%

That’s as far as I can get haha

No, you didn’t

Show me one question you asked that I didn’t answer? I won’t hold my breathe

Why, so you can dodge it a second time?

Oh, so you admit you can’t? Try harder

I mean every move the govt makes is paid for by the taxpayers. It would make too much sense that the taxpayers be the only voters...

This thread derailed like 7 pages ago my man…

Dude, you don’t even know 7 from 7%.

That was squid. Reading comprehension. Try harder

Liberal was a little too nice of a word and indeed incorrectly used. 99.9% of modern liberals vote Republican. You have to be far left of "liberal," ideologically speaking to be blue.

Neither of you seemed to get it.

Then Squid lied about it.

The point is, none of these "national sales tax" proposals are well thought out.

We have one idiot saying a 20% national sales tax rate is better than his 22% income tax rate. Uh, maybe. Assuming that he spent most of what he earned, maybe so.

Assuming Bezos spends 30% of what he makes on things, which is still far more than 20% of what the idiot makes, Bezos' effective taxes paid are lower - Bezos saves money while idiot pays the same or perhaps even more money.

Because nobody could seem to answer when and on what taxes are applied. Someone said no exemptions, meaning that when you sell your home, boom, 20% federal tax, where there is no tax now. Sell your used car? Boom, 20% federal tax on that, too. Simple question, but frick me, what an asshoe for asking.

I didn't derail the thread on purpose, though I'm sure asking intelligent questions didn't help.

No, I don't think one should have to pay federal taxes in order to vote.

Ah, now I see why you didn’t respond before… if this is your argument, I’m sorry. I thought at first you were financially competent but I guess I was wrong.

You think me paying 22% on all of my net income is better than paying 20% on good and services? Haha

And I don’t care about what percentage Bezos pays, not sure why you keep referencing him.
