Definately; our country is in ruins. I am a student nurse and only 2% of the nurses who qualify from UK universities will get a job as a nurse, becuase there are so many foreign nurses working here. I'm sick of our country being made a mess of, I'm sick of the illegal war. Let's try Bush and Blair for war crimes. That's it. I'm going on strike as of today. No more of my hard earned pennies will kill those little Iraqi babies in the name of America's oil. The American's are polluting the world to death with it anyway. So it's 2 birds one stone, we save Iraq and starve America of it's fuel Ha Ha Ha Ha

Many people felt the need to boycott France at the beginning of the War because of their lack of support, it has always been an non-violent way of getting the point across. (Bud)

It's simple. I Dont Know WHY Its So HARD For People To UNDERSTAND This\n(Rolling Eyes)\n\n \nA nation taxes its citizens in order to pay for those things that the CITIZENS have authorized the government of the nation to do.\n***(FUND HEALTH, EDUCATION, WELFARE--BUILD ROADS--KEEP THE ARMED FORCES FIGHTING--ETC)*** \nAll citizens pay the taxes and all citizens more or less fairly receive both benefit and detriment from the paying of these taxes. \nAll the citizens are in something of a symbiotic closed loop with each other that's why they're a nation. It's simply a village division of labor made large.\n\nTo have a healthy symbiosis requires that a large part of the the money that citizens earn in the nation village is re-spent in the nation village. \n***(I'll make shoes and you pay me for them and I'll use that money to buy things within the nation village and those I buy things from will, in turn, buy what you have to sell and this gives you the money to buy my shoes.)***\n \nThe system is based on having a population of citizens who are fair minded and honest and who won't take advantage of the system. They will contribute as they can, and they will receive as they need.\n\nSome nations are better at this symbiosis than others and they prosper. The United States has been better than many for most of its existence, and that's why we're a First World nation.\n\nInstead of calling it illegal immigration, we should be calling it a Foreign Invasion, because the consequences of this Invasion are as Terminal to our Freedoms and to our way of life as any act of Terrorism ever perpetrated against us! The United States is being invaded - FOREIGN INVADERS. \nThe American people need to understand that the United States is under attack! \nNo, not by Iraq or Iran, but by MEXICO!\n \nYes, Martha, you had BETTER believe it.\n\n(For The Past 25 Years Or So) However, the U.S. is being invaded by people from another nation who aren't citizens and who either don't pay the taxes or whose allegiance is to their home countries. \n\nThese invaders are causing a bleeding in the system. As invaders, they're not playing by the same rules as the citizens. \n***(For example, instead of spending the money they make in the nation they've invaded, much of the money is sent back to their own nation.)*** \nIn effect, they are looting the treasury of the United States as surely as if they went to Fort Knox and loaded up all our gold bullion on trucks and drove to Tijuana with it.\n \nThe invaders are also taking more in the way of services than they pay into the system. This is so, because many of them work under the table and **Don't Pay Income Taxes,** which largely support the U.S.\nThis leads to a weakening of the system.\n\nIn the first stages, the citizens pick up the deficits caused by these invaders and the invaders get subsidized by citizens. \nIn the U.S. we read about "immigrants" who take low paying jobs that "American Citizens Don't Want" and because Americans don't want these jobs these immigrants are thus performing a valuable service for Americans.\n\nThis is nonsense.\n\nWhat's happening is that illegal aliens are taking low paying jobs that won't sustain them in the conditions that The US -*-being a First World nation-*- EXPECTS for its citizens.\n \nTo make up the gap between what they earn and what they need to survive in this \n(to them) foreign nation - These illegal aliens \n---Pack themselves into tiny apartments and illegal garage apartments; \n---They get free medical care from American hospitals, including the birth of their babies; \n---They get free food from various charities \nAnd they get all other manner of things to make ends meet.\n\n Of course, these things aren't really free at all. Someone is paying for them, either directly or indirectly.\n \nAnd, the someones are the citizens of the U.S. who are paying for these invaders via

This is not there country no matter how you twist and turn the facts.  They need to go back home and try to get in the right way like everyone else.  I'm sick and tired of paying taxes to support them and trust me - we do support them!

There are, of course, multiple answers to this question:\n\nEquitable distribution of wealth.  Those who make more money pay more in taxes.  Taxes fund social programs such as welfare and food stamps.\n\nSustainability of the gov't.  Those bombs we use don't grow off trees!  Neither does the salary of congressmen and women.\n\nUsed as an ultimatum against British colonization:  No taxation without representation!  Self-government and taxes appear to go hand-in-hand.

I agree, where I live there are several religious institutions with prime land that pay no taxes.  Yet, the roads by them are plowed, and they get all services. \n\nSomething is wrong.  They should pay taxes, maybe at a different rate, but they should.

Jon Stewart (I love his show) recently had a figure on there that, including the most recent request for $, the war in Iraq is costing each US taxpayer +$2,000.  That's EACH!  \n\nOf course, he made this point too.  We aren't paying for it, you and I.  Who will pay for it?  Our grandkids - because while we are fighting two wars right now, we are also cutting taxes and increasing the deficit and therefore the debt.

Umm, I don't think that Pixel understood the question.  The sales tax goes to the state government and local government, which don't pay for the war in iraq.\n\nIt's probably because stores want to appear as if they are charging a lower price for the good.

I love the issue of taxation. Remember, back a few hundred years ago, there was a little skirmish called "The Boston Tea Party". Anyone remember what it was about?\nTaxes. That is one of the major events from which this country was born. Patriots fighting against "taxation without representation".\n\nIn 1913, Congress amended the Constitution to allow for "federal income taxes" to pay for the growing war debt.\n(Amendment XVI)\n\nI don't like paying taxes. I don't know anyone who celebrates on April 15th (except maybe tax preparers). I believe income taxes are basically theft by coercion, but they're a Constitutional responsibility and I pay them.\n\nOn the parking citations, you do realize that, by not paying them, you are essentially "stealing" from the city or town, right. This is money that is owed to them, and defaulting on debt is theft. I don't understand what you mean by "attempting to do the same thing with their property", though. If the city owes you money that is a direct result of the property you are taking, I would expect that there would be ACLU lawyers lined up at your door begging to take the case.\n\nI did my best not to be "retarded" although I did mention the ACLU. My bad...
