Hey, we keep this up and 100% of the working people can be employed by the federal government.......oh wait.....how will pay the taxes since government workers can get away with not paying?

Well, if we must go down this road, I want it to be this painful to wake people up.

..since government workers can get away with not paying?

I understand the logic that if everyone is a government worker, there is no true tax base to confiscate funds. However, in truth, government workers pay the same taxes on income as non-government workers.

...government workers can get away with not paying?

The aristos can do that, but not the little people.

A better question might be, who's gonna produce anything worth taxing?
