If your pay is not yours to keep, then neither is the tax

[Magical Realist]

Welfare recipients pay taxes.

Really? O_o

"Income that may be part of your gross income but is not identified as taxable income would include child support, proceeds from life insurance policies, inheritances, workers compensation payments, welfare benefits, compensation awarded as a result of physical injury, education scholarships or grants, and income paid to your retirement account (either a 401k or IRA, up to a certain amount)." - https://www.irs.com/articles/what-is-taxable-income-2

"All people pay sales taxes for at least some purchases. Even states like Pennsylvania, that do not tax food and clothes, tax other necessities, such as shampoo and lightbulbs. Welfare recipients are subject to these taxes, just like everyone else."---https://www.sapling.com/8786318/do-welfa...-pay-taxes

So you're saying some people avoid paying sales tax? O_o  "We should deny these services to every stingy non tax-paying citizen."

Or is it much more likely that you just moved the goalpost of your own stupid argument?    

So considering everyone pays sales tax, who are these mythical "non tax-paying citizens"? O_o
Oops, you just refuted your own argument.  

Taxes are taxes. That was the word you used wasn't it?

So which is it? Everyone pays taxes, and your previous "We should deny these services to every stingy non tax-paying citizen" is meaningless, or you're talking about income tax?

Never mind, you probably don't even remember.

Right wing nuts who live in compounds and grow their own food could do it. You underestimate the power of stinginess.

So...the Amish?

"While the Amish community pays state and federal income taxes and property and sales taxes, the group is exempt from paying Social Security or Medicare." - http://money.howstuffworks.com/personal-...taxes2.htm

You do realize that anyone with land to grow food must pay property tax, right?


Just keep digging your little hole. It's entertaining.

Uh no. The Amish aren't rightwing nuts living in compounds.

So where does that say someone isn't paying property or sales tax? You made the claim. Support it already.
