Was Israel in charge when they were bought and paid for by Egypt?
If 'Caesar' said, "Give me 100% of your income," would you render it?
Here, go educate yourself. http://www.lexrex.com/enlightened/AmericanIdeal/aspects/traditional_american_philosophy.htm
Here go educate yourself and your biblically liberal prostitutions.
BIBLE
Isaiah 58:6
"Do you not know that if you keep presenting yourselves to anyone as slaves to obey him, you are slaves of him because you obey him, either of sin with death in view or of obedience with righteousness in view?"
Romans 6:16
"The word that occurred to Jeremiah from Jehovah after King Zedekiah concluded a covenant with all the people who were in Jerusalem to proclaim to them liberty, And you yourselves turn around today and do what is upright in my eyes in proclaiming liberty each one to his companion, and you conclude a covenant before me in the house upon which my name has been called. Therefore this is what God has said, 'You yourselves have not obeyed me in keeping on proclaiming liberty each one to his brother and each one to his companion. Here I am proclaiming to you a liberty,' is the utterance of God, 'to the sword, to the pestilence and to the famine, and I shall certainly give you for a quaking to all the kingdoms of the earth."
Jeremiah 34:8
God cares about freedom.
Why was Israel enslaved? Per your posts, it was their fault. They were in charge. This is dead wrong.
The fair tax is the solution to every problem, just ask them.
As does the current system. Or are you just lying to us when you tell us goods right now have 25% embedded tax already in them? You guys argue out of both sides of your mouth.
With all the spin, you have to be liberal. Good day.
Exactly the same as it is today. Under the table transactions taxed, legal transaction not. Whether you call it consumption or income, it all ends up about the same. Illegal transaction no one pays taxes on, legal transactions someone ends up paying taxes.
I'm more conservative than thou. Good day.
Looks like the converted Pullman train car apartment my friend rented (in Pullman WA no less).
FairTax doesn't tax services. "Under the table" makes no sense in this context.
I am continually appalled that there are conservatives who don't support the NRST. It may not be 100% perfect, but it is a vast improvement over the income tax structure.
Ummm, yes it does. NRST taxes goods and services, read the bill sometime.
I am continually appalled that there are conservatives who don't support the NRST. It may not be 100% perfect, but it is a vast improvement over the income tax structure.
I am continually appalled there are conservatives who support stuff and don't have a clue what exactly it is they support. NRST not being 100% perfect is one of the grossest understatements I have ever heard.
As strawmen go, that one's beyond lame.
