We need taxes

[GloriousCoconut]

Will you clarify who "we" is? Are you a government worker? If that's the case, then you probably do need people's taxes to pay your bills.

Otherwise, the money taken from you is not going to some greater good. It is going to other human beings who spend it irresponsibly and wastefully.

[ronhelwig]

Very good start.

The one criticism I have is that you could speak in a more vibrant manner. Ridley told me that he makes a concerted effort to speak with a large amount of inflection because the recording tones down voice. (Think of how cameras add 10 pounds; they also make you sound a little more boring)

[GloriousCoconut]

I have a pretty bland voice as it is. I did my voiceover on an external recording system, not the camera, but point noted.

Wookie, your government ed is showing again. You are 25 an own your home, better check with the Mortgage Company son. Don't pay your property tax and see how long your local government will let you stay in your home. We didn't have property tax in my city until 1969. The founders limited the federal government with the Constitution, powers of congress.

[brainerdrebel]

Wookie, the point I am making is you never own your home completely, property tax never ends. I pay more per month on my home for property tax than my mortgage payment was. Believe me I know how taxes work, I own several commercial building and numerous rental properties.

As for as the Federal Constitution goes you need to read the powers of Congress.

@brainerdrebel I do own my home. Again, you're making your opinion based out of ignorance since you obviously dont understand how taxes work. Our founders weren't anti-tax, they were anti-taxation without representation. They wrote taxes right into the constitution, have you read it?

[brainerdrebel]

Wookie, you don't own your home. You are a serf, don't pay your property tax and see who owns your home. To own a car, you have to have a license, insurance, a tag and pay .54 cents per gallon tax on the gas, if you buy tires or any other essentials you pay sales tax. The founders would be proud of you, they we went to war over 2% tea tax.

[kungfuwookie]

@brainerdrebel Why would you think I owned anything? I own a home, a car and many other things.

[brainerdrebel]

Wookie, I didn't think you owned anything.

[kungfuwookie]

@ 2:30 Someone owes the taxpayers some money! We're picking up your slack jackass.

[kungfuwookie]

Standing on roads paid for by taxes to complain about taxes.

[kungfuwookie]

@brainerdrebel There you go with the sensationalism again.

[brainerdrebel]

Wookie, you are just a good little tax slave. What is your total tax bill, everything?
