Taxes are stupid, and taxes are theft.

Also religions are stupid no matter which superstition you choose.

No, I think you missquoted Marx there.It's "property is theft"

@Moravian

The defenition of tax and theft are the same.

I only quote Marx when discussing ideas that don't work.

@BryanLV Spoken like a true son of the land of the free.

@BryanLV Money is not yours,it is created by and for governance. Without tax you would look pretty stupid trying to get to work with no roads. Without tax we would all be stupid without education; without defence; without representation; without sewers; street lighting; public health; need i go on? Ask what have the Romans ever done for us and how did they achieve it ?......dumarse.

@Moravian

If you think this land is free, I have a bridge to sell you.

@chazwin

There was no income tax before 1913, and im pretty sure there were roads, public health, street lights and education.

Everything the Romans had was stolen from other cultures, so the Romans got theirs the same way, theft.

Educated by a dumarse? That makes you dummer than a dumarse, dumb ass.

@chazwin

Money is not created by governance you know-nothing. Money and currency are not the same.

Strike two. Would you like to keep swinging and missing, genius? Id suggest you go back to bootlicking.

@Moravian Not Karl. Proudhon.

@BryanLV I said land of the free you know "home of the brave and land of the free". Is this London bridge you are trying to sell. The one sold by some London spivs to gullible Americans who thought they were buying Tower bridge ?

As long as churches are granted tax-exempt status, why shouldn't the ST have it, too?
Personally, I dig that they're beating the christians at their own game.
If they get to do that and be tax-exempt while they're doing it, I'm not going to complain.

I don't think any church should be tax-exempt, but that's where we are.

I agree! And I love that every time there is some push to have a Christian statue or placement in a public building, the ST retaliates with a statue or placement of their own. This just means there will be even more of that coming in the future, which is just great

Its hilarious. The other righteous ones are going to have an apoplexy.

Yes! Also, thanks for the new vocabulary, I'm going to use that soon !

@O_ophelia I had to look that one up too!

Personally, I think its hilarious and I hope that its making other church officials walk around with puckered b-holes, but I am rather jaded in general, I suppose.

I always love it when I see someone stick it to smug, arrogant assholes, be they Christian, Atheists, or politicians that fit that description, they're all the same to me.
