What I wonder is, how did the government pay for everything before taxes.
I need to do a bit more research, but I'm pretty sure taxes came about during the depression to help the economy. It was said of them that they would be removed, but it never happened.

Taxes are fine when the taxes are spent on the people, and not career politicians and there agendas to get rich off a corrupt system, ahem hillary. Some studies iv read in the past have said 25 to 35% of all taxes can not be accounted for in United States and that is my problem with taxes. That and corporate tax cuts loop holes and a failing welfare system, and you get a failed system, I was gonna move to belgium..... but Belgistan doesn't seem so much a fantasy any more, so I geuss I'll see if I can get into australia. God I hate this tiny blink in human history, it will go down in time as one of humanities greatest failures if we don't kill ourselves off.

No one likes seeing the government take your hard earned money and place it in some "general fund" where you can't tell how or where it's being spent. It irritates me that there is a gas tax that's suppose to be used to fix up roads and yet every morning I drive I must see over a dozen potholes. Most people would like to keep all of their pay to spend or sve but we all understand on some level that if taxes were abolished, it would be mayhem.

I would agree with you that the only bad word in the english language is taxes, but they are needed to provide at least basic services.

What's with people and taxes? I'd gladly pay my share of taxes, because I'm paying for the whole system, for my school, for access to healthcare, for the protection by my Armed Forces, by my Police Departments, by Fire Departments...so I wouldn't exactly say Taxes are bad. Taxes are our civil obligation to our country, our countrymen, and our society. So yes, Taxes isn't a bad word at all. A Bad word would be demagogy

I never said anything about Taxes in US, I was referring to Taxes in European Countries, where your Taxes gives you ability to free healthcare, free education, and safety.

For example, we don't pay a monthly fee for school here in Portugal, the only thing in school you pay is your lunch in the cantine, the school books every new year, and things inside school like pencils, paper, etc..

In Portugal, our healthcare system is only broke because we don't have enough working force that can sustain Healthcare system as it sits and Pension Fund, if we had a bigger working force, we'd be more sustainable.

Also, Belgium isn't really a fantasy, never was really..if you had to pick a country to move, and if you have any skills/qualifications, I'd say Germany, Scandinavia, Switzerland or UK are options.

Income came through sales tax and the selling of public land (there was a lot to sell as America was expanding)/ The income tax did not become instituted until the beginning of the 20th century due to less revenue coming in through bonds and little land left to sell.

Ok, let me put this straight. I spoke too soon about why we shouldn't have taxes.

I made myself look stupid, didn't know what I was talking about here. Sorry.

However, people who can work but don't work don't deserve money. People who put their health in danger through smoking and drugs and drinking shouldn't get it either.

I hate taxes!
