If someone with the power to pass taxes doesn’t pay taxes, he should be flayed.

Funny… you get paid by our taxes, to take our taxes, and all you are supposed to do is return your “fair share” of the money we paid you, to take our money. Its a cross between a f’ed up math word problem and some sort of mafia operation( sorry mafia, at least you have a code of honor).

There you guys go again! See you aren’t thinking like Big People! Big People think “strategically” while us little people “rubes” in their vocabulary think rubary! Strategic thinking says “Only the rubes have to pay taxes”! “I’m a Big and therefore I shall not pay taxes because the IRS will only go after the rubes, so let’s go and buy that new 40 footer Ma…Muwahahahahahahah!” Now us rubes think rubary which is “shit, I better go pay my damn taxes or I will get arrested by the IRS and I will get thrown in jail and everything I own will get seized and sold at auction in my front yard for all my loser neighbors to bid on at 10 cents on the dollar”! “Shit!”

And in the spirit of the double standards of which lefties are so fond, only Republicans will be flayed.

Democrats will be vivisected.

How about immediate and final banishment from public office?

Marched out of the White House, hand cuffed and wearing a sign, “Proud Democrat for Hope and Change!”

The Hope being for their Change of address to the Federal prison of our choice.

He should be “frayed”? Frayed? Agreed, but what does unraveling his garment have to do with punishment for not paying taxes?

OK so how many tax problems can one have and still be confirmed?

Somewhere between $20K and $140K, apparently. Or is it $120K and $140K? I’m loosing track of my scandals and it’s only a few weeks in.

Considering how much of a jerk Daschle was in congress, and I noticed no one mentioned his wife working as a six figure lobbyist for Boeing while he was in congress. Hmmm.

[sarcasm] Silly Kent, Democraps don’t have scandals, only evil Rethuglicans do. Just like Democraps can’t be racist. [/sarcasm]

“This note is legal tender for all debts, public and private.”

So, if I collect enough “debts,” I have “income” and become indebted to the United States and am required to pay some of my “debts” as “taxes.” But if I don’t collect enough “debts,” and thereby don’t have any “income,” I am not indebted to the United States. (?)

It’s interesting that this system, based on indebtedness, is proven consistent by the debt collector itself, the United States, which is only in possession of debt – by borrowing. So, not only are individuals in debt to our government, our government is in debt to others.

And who be the “others?” And who are THEY indebted to?

What if “borrowing” didn’t exist? Would there still be debt? Or would it just be called “trade?” Because if it’s just “trade,” then there is no debt – and there is no “income” – and there is no income indebtedness (taxes).

It would be a totally different economic system, wouldn’t it?

Apparently, $120,000 is too much, $946.69 is too little, but $43,000 is just right.

Or drawn and quartered.
Or put in the stocks in the public square.
Or flogged.
Or keelhauled.
Or caned.
Or stoned.

Or at least have their shoe-throwing rights revoked.

Flayed, fried, whatever. Maybe just placed in the general population of a non-federal prison. Hehehe…

I wish I could say O’vomit was stupid but he sure is one sly fox. Put Republicans in the cabinet so that when things go under he has a build in “it all their fault” pile of scapegoats.

It’s really too bad that he (the one) is such a devious, untrustworthy, hang dog liar. Having a bi-partisan cabinet should have been such a good thing..

Oh well.

Why? I am missing the punch line. Someone that got some sleep last night please explain. Not passing/raising taxes sounds like uncharacteristically good government to me.

Ah but it comes from the party of lies and the liars who tell them. Seriously, the only time you can trust a demoncratic politician is when he’s dead and not even then.

I DON’T BELIEVE THEM. Not just today, but tomorrow and forever.
