To Hell With Paying Taxes!

I agree with you how taxes favor those that don't deserve it. The roads were I live are shocking to say the least and a good thing I drive a SUV. Im happy my hard earned cash is going straight into helping illegal aliens in the US have warm meals at night and not to help the disabled,homeless or blind. My personal opinion, if you are in the US and not legal you don't deserve a dime! Don't speak English? Too bad as this is an English speaking country and we are not doing ourselves any favors by encouraging people not to learn English. Im all for social spending and helping but only those that put in an effort and don't demand demand demand without having any merit to get treated in such a manner.

I so hear you as I am a US citizen and having worked for so many years in a company that went belly.. I could not even get unemployment benefits. And this is something I have contributed my fair share of earning taxes for. So tell me why so many others do get it though. Ugh the reasoning behind it baffles me.

hi lost my response as I did not think to copy it to clipboard. so you are in the Netherlands and here I thougfht oh another fellow American who thinks we should not be helping our illegal aliens at all bv ut should ship them back across the border to Mexico.so in the Netherlands you also have problems with your gov. helping the aliens while your own citizents get the barest of help. they do the same here as they geto food stamps and free medical care by the ton and welfare while p eople born here get just the bare minimum of help from govc.

Taxes had been there since time allowed men to organize and socialize... Alas, we are bound by a certain communal order and the only way to keep that order is to tolerate the government we have, however . Alas again, all the citizens could do is to voice out their opinions and somehow, when the right winds come our way, our voices could be heard. I am also a good taxpayer and the roads I pass on everyday are worse than the moon craters... We live with it. We are the good people.

ya i am angry too with paying taxes. Most of our money goes in corruption. But we don't have any choice... Political Leaders are today's king... whatever they say we have to follow. :(

We all have to pay our taxes even though there are times and issues that we do not support. We have to bring into mind why our government has this kind of policy. If such actions of our government are not anymore acceptable to the majority of citizens then that is another case. We could take this matter to our local lawmakers for proper solution to the problem.

Yes, I get what you mean. In our country we really have to pay taxes too but the past governments and officials only put the money in their pockets. We only get very little of what we are paying for.

well. they say the poor and the rich becomes equal when paying taxes....cause its the only thing that is fair, you buy small things, you've got small business you pay small taxes also likewise at buying bigg and expensive things and having large business... taxes are used in government projects

I agree. Taxes are a waste of money because government don't really use them in the right places. IN fact, tax payers money are often misused and abuse by people who are receving them. Taxes are supposed to help with the country's economy but i don't see any improvement in life with the tax we are paying. If ever we need anything as a country, the government would have their ways of earning back that amount of money, by increasing more tax or even introducing more stuffs to make things more expensive. At the end of it, people are getting poorer, but the country is getting richer.

I know exactly what you mean and it's funny you should say that, just the other day my husband and I were in at the grocery store and this little was on her cell phone practically scream, saying that she arrived to the country less than a year ago and the government wasn't giving her enough money to be able to live and support her family. I am hear thinking to myself go out and get a job. But as we were leaving we noticed her leaving as well pulling out in a Lincoln Navigator brank spanking new. I was no wonder you can't afford to maintain your family. Were the hell does she get off. I've lived her my entire life and I have to work and bust my butt, to be able to provide for my family. And then we pay taxes and social security and medicare so that they can't take advantage of the benefits. I know there are people in this world that need it, and I am not saying that everyone takes advantage of the system, but god there people that come to this country and think everything is going to be handed to them in a pot of gold. I remember I used to have a co-worker who was cuban and didn't speak a word of english and annoyed everyone with his stories about Cuba and how Cuba this was like this and things that happened in this country would never have been allowed to happen over there and that Cuba was the best. I got so frustrated that I just told him one day "If you love Cuba so much and you think this country is so awful, why don't you just go back and do us all a favor." It annoys me how people talk about this country. Sorry I kept on going on and on, but you are absolutely right we pay our taxes and instead of benefiting the people that actually pay these taxes we are benefiting those that just try to take advantage of the system.

Why is this so? Who makes the laws? I would presume it's a parliamentary form of government. Not paying taxes although a good form of protest might not be the best thing to do considering it might get you into more trouble than you bargained for. If election is forthcoming, I think it would be better to give the politician or whoever it is that enacted the unfair law a piece of your mind. You can also write who ever represents your community or talk to him personally(if that is possible) to air your plight. If there are more of you who feels the same sentiment,then maybe you can organize a peaceful protest to be heard. Good luck and stay away from unnecessary troubles
