[QUOTE="TrueConservativ"][QUOTE="Ninja_Dog"]Why are people so opposed to taxes? It doesn't make sense to me.
Taxes are fair because they are based on income percentage. The poor don't pay as high a percentage as the rich.
This is great because the money the rich pay won't hurt them very much but it will help the poor A LOT! Think of it as a service to your country.
My point is, there should be universal health care because even though it will raise taxes, it will help a lot of people.
Also, paying taxes is good for the economy :) Instead of the government printing more money to pay for things and lowering the value of our dollar, by paying taxes we keep the dollar strong!
Peace.

not everyone wants to use the services that come from the taxes.
if everything is privitized, theyres competition that lowers prices.
so if I ever need that service, I only need to pay for it when I need it.
Less taxation and a free market help the economy most.
Universal health care will make thigns worse. I dont expect you to reply until you look up John Stossel Michael Moore on youtube. Id find you the links but ive done it a few times on here already and frankly its getting old.
ive never heard anyone say taxation helps the dollar.
here are my replies
i know not everyone wants to use the services. There could still be private physicians.
lower prices are not coming with the system we have. and its not all about prices. some companies wont even insure people.
thats not the way taxes work.
yes, but not when the government prints money like gangbusters to pay for a failed war.
and @Boknows: that is called a Slippery Slope argument. It has no place in logical discussion.
not everyone uses them, so we shouldnt have to pay for it. Im not against optional taxation. lets for example you wanted to pay a tax to help build roads. I think you should have the right to do that. But if im some guy who for some reason hates roads, I shouldnt have to pay for it. Kind of a silly example, but I think you get my point. Just like some people dont want to pay for a war... Im sure the government wouldnt goto war so much if they knew people could opt out of certain taxes.
A lot of the reason our prices are going up is due to inflation, which the culprit is the federal reserve. something that relies on taxation big time. there are other reasons but I dont want to name all of them because im kind of a lazy bum right now
the federl reserve is the one printing false money, more taxation isnt going to help. we need to abolish the federal reserve and free up the economy and give people back there gold.
