government checks are always bad.

I called you on that in my 128 post. No response from you. I wrote: "You created a closed loop where government checks are always bad. You said it and will be back tracking, claiming that you didn't mean government checks are always bad and that there are exceptions." 128

If you weren't protecting a vested interest in the present tax system or whatever your agenda is you'd be learning, educating yourself to what errors and mistakes you may make in your arguments. But since you won't even question why some government checks are not bad and why those checks exist in the first place it 's clear that you are not here to learn. Rather, you have an agenda that you believe is more important than educating your way out of ignorance.

Here's but one example: Many people have such fear of the IRS that they overpay their tax via withholding. They fear the IRS will come after them if the have too little tax withheld. They get a tax refund for their interest-free loan to the government. Call it a fear loan and the refund check a fear check. Because fear is the reason they over pay. Seeing that the IRS considers people they audit guilty until proven innocent their fear is warranted. According to you, when the IRS frightens people into overpayment the government should keep they money and not pay out refunds. 

You could have easily figured that out on your own had you questioned your premise that government checks are always bad. But you have an agenda that's more important than dispelling your ignorance. Your willful ignorance is your loss to burden. Keep it to yourself, please.

You have real difficulty reasoning logically. In this case, what you called a "premise" is in fact a "conclusion". All taxation is theft. Any distribution of tax funds is a distribution of stolen goods. It is de facto theft whenever the money is given to anyone but its original owner.

It is also bad when given to its original owner, because people are stupid enough to think they are being given something, rather than recovering their stolen property. For proof: keep your eyes open around April 15.
