Imp has said time and time again that taxes are bad, yet he has never stated his argument.
I shall state my argument for taxes.
taxes are an extremely beneficial for Americans. It is from taxes that we have an infrastructure that is the envy of the world.
The real strength of any country lies in its infrastructure. Look at the most advance countries in the world, the ones with the
highest standard of living, the most desirable ones to live in. What do they have in common?
One of their common denominators is a strong infrastructure.What does that mean? It means they have
well maintained roads and bridges, a strong police, fire departments, schools for all ages, libraries in every city.
Here in the U.S we have national park system that is the envy of the world and those parks are maintained by taxes.
Our lives are enhanced by these things kept strong by taxes. Let us look at a world without taxes.
The day begins in the house normal enough. Can’t get on the Internet because it has become a pay per view Internet.
and I can’t afford it right now. I have to walk to work as the dirt roads have chewed up my tires, so I need new tires.
No buses or any kind of public transportation because they come from taxes. I am mugged going to work but can’t do anything
about it because it has become a pay per use police and fire departments so one really hopes you don’t have any kind of
issue because it going to cost big money. House catches fire and can’t pay cash on the spot, bye bye house.
Children go to work because there are no public schools. After work, they just come home because
there are no public parks to play in. I hear about the many terrorist attacks but without the military or justice department
we cannot combat terrorism. the murder rate rivals the worst part of Africa but without an infrastructure to deal with the dead
bodies, they just lie on the streets stinking up the whole street and bringing diseases.
In other words, everything you take for granted is funded in part or whole by taxes. Even the very air you breath, because
there is no EPA to keep air pollution down, every part of the country has air like LA or Huston. and the food you eat and the water
you drink is very, very suspect because no one is making sure it is clean and sanitary. Diseases run rampant because there
are no public agencies dealing with such matters. In other words, the U.S. has become a third world country and why?
because there are no taxes. Look at a third world country and this is what you see, no infrastructure because there are no taxes.
You get about 2 dollars an day because there are no laws preventing it, businesses can do anything they want. government only
exist with taxes. No taxes, no government and thus businesses and wealthy people can do anything they want.
If they want to collect poor people and then have a turkey shoot with those poor people, there is nothing anybody can
do about it. NO GOVERNMENT to stop them. Anarchism reigns supreme. Welcome to the future, one made possible because
there are no taxes.
