The Treason of Taxes
 

I have been a Christian since birth, and a Republican since conception.

Amongst the most basic and noble teachings that were instilled in me during childhood was the pure evil of the taxation of citizens by the government.

Taxes are evil and communistic, and insinuate that the money I earn isn't really mine, but the government's.

That is why all of my voting decisions since I was 18 have been made based on who will cut my taxes the most, while heaving the burden onto the lower class, who really don't deserve to be called "citizens" anyway.

But me, as a GODly American Republican, I've never understood why I must pay taxes to the government just because I live here.

As a Republican, I was more than willing to turn a blind-eye to what liberals called "violations of the Constitution" on Bush's part while he was President. I was willing to ignore the torturing of detainees, the warrant-less wiretaps, the censorship of the so-called "media."

These things did not concern me, because my taxes had been lowered.

Like me, President Bush understood that a truly patriotic government is judged not by how it treats the least of its citizens, but by how low it can get taxes for the upper class.

Please support your local Tea Baggers!

Or even organize a Tea Party in your very own neighborhood!

Together, we can show the government that they do not have the right to charge us money just because we live in their country or use their services!

I tried to find people for a local Tea-Bagging party on the Internet. The people who replied were not what I expected.:o

I found a loophole that states payment is optional. It was written by our founding True Christian™ fathers. I send a note with a single dollar, explaining that I tithed the rest.

Excuse me, do you even know what "tea bagging" means? If you shout out that you want people to "tea bag" with you you'll get arrested for sexual harrasment.

Maybe that's true over there in nazi Germany, but here in God's favorite country (AMERICA!) we have the God-given freedom to express ourselves anyway we choose.

Re: The Treason of Taxes
 

Mark, that is because you live with Nazis. In the mighty US of A, a tea bag is used for making tea. As you may know, we had a bit of a skimish with the toothless brits over taxation of tea some time back.

Here is a tea bag (with tea!)

I certainly agree with Brother Bob4God that taxes are evil, especially this communist idea of "progressive taxation" where hard-working bailout recipients like myself are taxed more than working slobs. That just isn't fair.

I propose doing away with taxes altogether, and going to a "users pay" system. We can eliminate property taxes by shutting down the public school system - if you can afford a private school for the little brats, there's always home schooling. Or just put them to work in a factory - who needs an education anyway, especially since all public school teachers are liberals who want to brainwash your kids into believing evolution and the global warming hoax.

We can make the currently free public highways into privately-owned toll roads. People want police and fire protection, fine, they pay every time they call the cops or fire department for help. Ditto for the military - if you don't pay for protection, don't come crying to the government if bin Laden shows up at your front door. As Jesus himself once said, "There's no such thing as a free lunch."

Clearly and forcefully stated, Brother. I've always liked the idea of the Mayor in every town and city being the one who decided where and when to send the fire department and police. When you have a bureacratic Chief, or, I call them Chieftons, "managing" these departments, really you just have socialism. Much better is to have the people's representative dispatching the safety personnel, collecting the fees (and adding on certain processing fees to cover his own valuable time) and thus serving the public, you have a healthy mixture of business and government.

If you want to save this country from the Obomunists then you need to start tea bagging with everyone around you. You, me, the pastors of this Godly Church should all be tea bagging together.

But you as long as you are Unsaved Trash you will have to tea bag with yourself.

Re: The Treason of Taxes
 

I agree, Tea Bagging is a great social activity that can be shared by just about anybody. I haven't actually gone Tea Bagging yet, but I am looking to get a group together.

Please send me a private message if you are interested in Tea Bagging! :thumbsup:

Re: The Treason of Taxes
 

Excellent points, Brother Johny. You'll be happy to know that your idea is already catching on...

Although it doesn't say so in the article, those who don't pay the annual fee in advance must have a credit card when they call. The 9-1-1 dispatcher will connect any caller to a Visa or MasterCharge operator. Only after they get your credit card data and charge the card will an ambulance be dispatched. Otherwise, we're liable to have trouble collecting from illegal aliens and other deadbeats.

By the way, I have a special interest in this program since the municipal government of Tracy, California was one of our clients. Four years ago, they hired my company as a financial consultant. We steered the city's pension funds into mortgage-backed securities and collateralized debt obligations - the results are there for all to see.

You said it! I went down to the Young Men's Christian Association this afternoon to recruit other godly souls to teabag with me this weekend. You should have seen the response I got! With people this enthusiastic, we'll shut down the IRS in no time! I hope we get on the local news this weekend.
