| Message | "Why tax someone and give the money back?"!? If a person has no job, and therefore make no income of their own (the prerequisite for receiving cash from the government), they pay no taxes, because they own nothing which could be taxed! Those who can afford to pay their dues to society give some of their dues to those who cannot, for a *limited time*. I should not have to explain to Mister Skanderberg and his party the definition of taxation, but it seems the state of affairs in this country has reached the very definition of idiocy. |
