Yeah, those taxes are really putting the pinch on the well-to-do. We
should relieve the burden on the rich by sending IRS agents out on the
streets to shake down the homeless and senior citizens, huh?

The Homeless are not paying taxes. WE are paying for their medical care.
We,
as in ME!


You think you are the only one? Get a clue. Supporting those who have
no means to support themselves is one of the costs of living in a
civilized society. If that concept evades your understanding, how
about a translation from the Big Dummy's Guide to Republican Values:
"We pay off the beggars so they don't become theives and steal our
****, or get restless and overthrow the politicians that we bought and
paid for with our hard-earned money."


And I dare you to show me a single instance of the IRS "shaking down" the
homeless. Name ONE instance and back it up with facts.
Show me where the IRS is attacking senior citizens.


Where did I say they did?


Seems to me it was Al
Gore who increased the taxes on Social Security...monies that our Senior
Citizens rely on to live from day to day.
It was Al Gore who placed a "fee" on everybody's phone bills and wouldn't
exempt the Seniors.

Blow a goat? How about if you tell the truth?


I just did.

"Where did I say they did?"

Well, I copied and pasted your comment that, "by sending IRS agents out on
the
streets to shake down the homeless and senior citizens"
I guess that constitutes you saying "they did".

I don't "need a clue" as that overused trite phrase of yours indicates.
That is what I like about Liberals. Catch phrases such as "get a clue" or,
"smell the coffee" are so easy to use.
So..living in a "civilized society", according to you, requires that I
support the non-workers? The lazy? The druggies? Since when? According to
who? You?
What gives YOU the authority to tell me that I should support the lazy, the
unemployed?

Maybe you should get a copy of The Dummies Guide of Mooching.
Liberals are all too quick to "feel sorry" for the lazy, the non-earners but
do little to help them. Oh, yeah..you want to give THEM my tax dollars...but
to what end?

How about we turn that around in that, "We pay off the beggars so they don't
become theives and steal our ****", and we do it with more and more taxes
and handouts. Of course the beggars remain thieves, they count on the "dole"
and they will steal you and me blind, given the opportunity.

What have you solved???
