Mailmen from USPS HAVE to give you your mail...are they slaves too...

[Steve Kemp]

Slaves can't quit a job - they are slaves. But as the old Bob Dylan song says: "no matter who you are, you have to serve someone".

God damn it. Stark is a true American hero.

lol tell me more about how much you help out society by shooting youtube videos....

[Steve Kemp]

The govt in many case squanders our hard earned money. You know, like supporting people who are too lazy to work, overpaying for contractors, paying union wages and pensions at a much higher rate than the private sector, illegal aliens, etc. I have no say in the matter. And duh, do you really think I vote for these jerks? Why do you think I spend my prescious time shooting videos like this? And then I have to put up with liberal idiots who leave naive comments...

"not everyone pays into the system". well yeah! that's the whole idea behind taxes. some people are supposed to be paying more than others and then technically the money the government collects is supposed to go to 'the greater good'.

"That's why some people get a bit "tiffy" " okay then stop voting the same people in every time or volunteer in the government or become a politician yourself.

[katy ouija]

you're right but i'm saying why are you getting hung up on the words purchase vs tax when they essentially mean the same thing. you're paying the government to provide you justice system/education/roads. forcing taxes can be just as bad or as good as forcing purchasing. stop getting hung up on the words and think about the issue.

[Steve Kemp]

No. The govt cannot force you to "purchase" something because it's unconstitutional. Govt can only "tax" you. That was the ruling by the supreme court on O-care. And not EVERYONE is paying into this system. 47% of the population pays NO federal taxes at all, leaving 53% of the population paying for everything. That's why some people get a bit "tiffy" at politicians who continute to confiscate and spend our money on things in which we have no say so in the matter. You may "get it" some day.

[katy ouija]

that's the same principle behind insurance though.

[katy ouija]

no taxpayers are not slaves because everyone is paying into a system that they agree to. when you pay taxes you are buying education, social security, roads, justice system.

[katy ouija]

that lady/those people are dumb. he's saying something that proves their point! they are whining about how the government doesn't do its job and he's say "yeah, it doesn't because the constitution is irrelevant" or whatever. i couldn't even hear him over their interruptions. secondly, it's not slavery to guarantee people some sort of resource or service. the doctors will be compensated for their work.
