50% of Americans clearly want socialism, having bought hook, line and sinker into Barack Obama’s version of the Karl Marx system of “from each according to his ability; to each according to his need.”
But equally clear is the fact that the other 50% of Americans don’t want socialism, still preferring the Founders’ notion of freedom, liberty and self-governance.
For decades now, the 50% who still love freedom have been picking up the tab for the 50% only interested in free access to other people’s stuff. It’s easy to want socialism if you’re not the one who has to pay for it.
Well, if you are hell bent on reducing America to third world status with your insane visions of dancing sugarplums in some utopian society where your neighbor has no rights and you have no responsibilities, then the least you can do is pay for it yourself!
The 50% of Americans who voted against your empty suit and his anti-American Marxist agenda have been paying 97.01% of all federal taxes collected up until now. The 50% of you, who prefer Obama’s socialism, have only had to pay 2.99% of all federal taxes to date. That’s about to change…
If you want socialism, fine. But YOU pay for it!

That’s because they allow themselves no access to reality... Been there, done it, have a few t-shirts.
They are brain dead!
Hmmmm. doesn’t sound “voluntary.”
Did you check with Harry Reid?

A lot of people died because Jim Jones said drink the Kool Aid.
A lot of people are going to die because Zero and the democrats want to spend this country into oblivion.
Wake up congress, before it’s too late.
“The “what’s mine is mine and what’s yours is mine too” entitlement mentality is the root cause for every problem we have in this country today.”
In Biblical terms, this is called coveting and it is a sin. Is half the country actively practicing sinful behavior? Are our politicians, most of whom claim to be Christians, practicing sinful behavior? Hmm...
That was a rhetorical question, right?
That's part of it, but not the biggest part of it. I've actually had libs try to argue with me that "blue states" are net tax payers and red states are net tax takers. Nevermind that "states" don't pay taxes, people who earn money pay taxes, and overwhelmingly, those people don't vote democRat.
No, the biggest part of why they wouldn't let us go peaceably is that they can't stand the thought of someone living outside of their "benevolent" control.
"We can't drive our SUVs, eat what we want, and keep our houses at 72 degrees year round..." and have liberals say that's OK.
Change will not come until enough of us are willing to give up all of that stuff in order to get our freedom back.
Instead of writing a check, write a note: “You pay for it”.
Excellent! Spirit of 1776!
“Did you check with Harry Reid?”
That flake? The idiot who thinks he can convince Americans that our tax system is voluntary? Let me stop here before I get into trouble.
Post of the day, right here!
You said a lot in these few words! BRAVO!
Hey, why do you want to argue with him on this one? He’s wrong on everything else, but shouldn’t we agree with him on this one and send a copy of his interview to the IRS, along with our note of nonpayment?
Absolutely rhetorical. We all know the answer...
“But it seems much easier to just cut off the life blood of socialism, our money..”
The capitalist Jews tried that in NAZI Germany and we all know how that turned out. They will just take every thing you own, even your gold fillings.
This is where conservatives have gotten their butts kicked for years now. Unlike their counterparts, they have no clue where their power is or how to use it...
But when they really do finally get their fill of it all, they will figure it out...
Hope there is something left to salvage by then.
Conservatives think they are smarter than liberals, yet they get their ass handed to them by liberals on a daily basis... Guess who is really smarter?
The problem is one of who is smarter. Conservatives have morals and follow them. These values are turned against them.
We allowed social programs to be created because the cost wasn’t really that much. But now the host is sick and the parasites are on a feeding frenzy. Soon it must all collapse, or so I hope.
Did Marx say that? I thought it came from here: “32. And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.
33. And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.
34. Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,
35. And laid them down at the apostles’ feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.”
