there are some on this board who think that people don't pay their fair share.  They think the IRS and the government is their friend.
I think they're nuts.

SOME people DON'T pay their fair share.  To the tune of 40% of Americans pay NO taxes at all.  The IRS is their friend... they take from us, and give to them.

It's not the IRS I fear, but the thieves we keep electing to give them their quotas.

Actually its already taxable, but they keep talking about having the sellers collect it since aren't paying. Right now you're supposed to report out of state purchases where sales taxes weren't collected and pay it to your state. Since most folks aren't it's created a loss of income for all states where they have to get it elsewhere.

I can't comment on this, it is too political and I love my government and I will pay more than

my fair share to allow them to live beyond our means and abandon the free enterprise system

in order that those that don't have and will not even try to, have just as much as me and of you.

But again i will not comment on this subject, too political.
