^^ I'm still debating if the fork goes into my eye or into the eye of the defender of mass theft and murder.

Total bullshit website. The creators of this website don't understand basic economics. Government is good in that it can preserve our rights. But that is pretty much all we need government for. This website was trying to argue that taxes are good. This is bullshit. The governments job is to ensure our rights at the lowest possible tax rate. Anything above that is just a waste to the economy.

Huh, Can we please try to refute them. Your "Progressive" kid you debate is not worth it. Progressives LOVE government control. I ain't surprised about that.

And also compares paying taxes to tithing at church. Last I checked, a pastor doesn't put a gun to your head when the offering basket goes around.

I don't know many people who give money they don't have to the church. Church is more like buying a product in the private sector. If you have the money, you can donate, otherwise you can wait until you have money before you donate.
