Why should i pay for honestly paid house, if it not utilities payment? The state haven't given me a penny to buy house or car. Otherwise thay can charge payment for riding their roads. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78840817 Because It is NOT your own property. They own it and they own you.

Rural america has to travel many miles to have a good job. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 71582106 That’s the goal. They want to force people to live on top of each other in urban hellholes where everyone walks or takes the subway. That way people are dependent on public infrastructure. They want to make it very expensive for people to have independence and live in wide open spaces. Winter is Coming. |

User ID: 79662918 United States 01/23/2021 11:50 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ... Quoting: BRIEF I can't understand why anyone in America is poor...There's opportunity and money absolutely everywhere... because we are told: > the poor you will always have with you remember who said that and to whom? Judas was told that, after he complained that the costly perfume could have been sold and the money given to the poor Yes, but debt has destroyed too many middleclass people...The poor have a better net worth at zero, than most middleclass families, because debt puts them into a negative net worth... not only debt, unfair lopsided taxation when a few cents an hour raise can put you in to the next bracket means you take home less than what you were making before the raise I've been there it was a 25cents / hour raise after that, my pay was several dollars less net than I was making before the raise Have payroll adjust your withholding so that you get the same each check, or a bit more...You get a tax refund so you are overpaying each check anyway...why give the government a free loan? lol I never forgive and I never forget I am a licensed firearm holder. I will, under protection of law, use lethal force if attacked. |

They can't track most cars produced before 2014 as long as it doesn't have a GPS. All cars after 2014 have devices to find and track your vehicle. Was mandated a while ago and that is why all new cars even cheap ones have all the lidar and primitive self driving correcting software at a minimum. I have been in the industry for years and have seen the changes to cars over the last 10 years. The tech used in cars today drain a 12 volt system 5 times faster than a car built 20 years ago. It is insane. My advice is to stick to cars built before 2014-2015 and even better if you get a old car with a analog meter just pop that dash and roll it back. The government will think you never drive! LOL. Last Edited by Cosmo Strangelove on 01/23/2021 11:55 AM Cosmo Strangelove |

Then people who work from home....they want to tax you extra for not driving any miles because you aren't paying your share without commuting. Democrats are the death of America. Taxation without representation is not legal. I am not represented and I am not paying anything. Joe Biden is not my President and I have no legitimate representation in the house or senate. They can all go to hell without another penny from me. |

That isn't even to mention infrastructure required at and to the homes of everyone. I don't have an electric car, but my neighbor does. Try charging a car with household 110VAC. Putting new municiple infrastructure in place to support supply/demand requirements and new 220VAC circuits into houses, that is another pass along cost and an overall enormous undertaking...Likely subsidized by, yep, all of us. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79656632 Or a tax on how much oxygen you breathe throughout the day? It costs money to process poop. Fat people poop more than skinny people, but fat people pay the same amount of money to process poop at a waste treatment plant. That’s not fair. I propose a tax on the amount of poop that comes from your house into the waste treatment facility. (Say hello to a return of outhouses as people figure out ways to not get taxed) I agree, tax shit. We can tax all of the shit coming out of the Democratic mouths in Washington, that might pay off the budget deficit and we could have a budge surplus for the first time in decades. |
