I too am against property taxes, which thus require a person to be involved in acquisition of money.

However, I think that income taxes are wrong too. They are taxing people for doing something good, and those who do not work, or work under the table, are not “penalized.”

This is why I am for the Fair Tax, which is a federal sales tax that gives each person a “prebate” (advance refund) for the amount of taxes on what are considered necessities, and charges a 30% sales tax: note that they have figured out that initial prices will go down by eliminating the need for tax accountants and lawyers as a part of the sellers’ costs.

I have objections to tolerating this state of affairs as well.

I believe in the Bible view that if you don't work, you shall not eat.

It is nonsense that this nation creates and funds so many parasites.
