Sacrifices

I am wondering whether the government which is prohibiting us from earning a living will prohibit itself from filching our pockets for money we haven’t been allowed to earn.

It seems only fair.

I am thinking, specifically, about the property taxes I and millions of others are forced to pay on the property we supposedly own – i.e., our homes and land...

...But how am I – how are any of us – supposed to pay when we have been ordered not to earn?

I was supposed to speak about automated driving technology – taking the con side – at a debate in New York City. I would have earned a sum sufficient to pay what I “owe.” I was not allowed to go pick cotton in the fields, as it were – and now the Massa wants his cotton.

I hope this gets reposted at a more busy time tomorrow. I would love to see the comments... I think at this late hour it will get missed.
Property taxes suck! I owe a few houses in a city I don’t live in... And I can’t vote in that city. Talk about taxation without representation.

You’re assessed tax based on how much you earned for the year, right? Since they’re presumably sending you a stimulus check, then they will undoubtedly tax that also, as part of your income. Just like they assess tax on unemployment insurance as part of your income.

Income tax is income tax to the fed govt, so yeah, you’re on the hook for it. If you don’t make income they can’t tax you at all. If you do, even if they give you that income, then they can and they will tax you.

You gotta pay your taxes in full so every government worker gets paid for whatever he wasn't doing anyway.

“It isn’t news.”


Pardon me but I believe the category is News/Activism.

This is a call for activism.
