Are you seriously saying that taxation isn't enforced with violence? Otherwise, what distinguishes taxation from donation?
This is why I wanted you to be crystal clear about what you mean when you say violence. The way you say it paints a picture of government agents coming to your home and breaking your legs for not paying taxes. In reality you just get financial penalties and interest leveled at you. Even tax evasion carries a 5 year prison sentence, not a beatdown.
How do they make you pay the financial penalties and interest? How do they ensure that you stroll into their prison?
Yes I am seriously saying taxation is not enforced with violence. I am also saying you are making up fantasy imaginations without being able to provide evidence for your neveneverland. You could easily prove me wrong if you wish by linking something...even one thing from some strange one off incident would help.
First off whomever taught you that load of crap was wrong and you need to go and ask for your money back. It certainly was NOT a public school. Secondly this is an OBJECT LESSON in WHY children need to be taught CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS before they are allowed on the internet. Children need to have the ability to made the clear distinction between what is FACTUAL and what is a load of delusional disinformation.
"Creationism in schools, yes or no?" Superstition and Hocus Pocus should be un-taught in schools. They should be places of psychotherapy ...... not houses of cult veneration.
Not only did I in no way indicate, hint at, or state the garbage you just tried to shove in my mouth, you very poorly and pathetically tried to avoid and distract from being called out for fabricating completely dishonest warped imagination and claiming it as truth. You seriously suck at this.
Asinine non sequitur! Kindly refrain from posting utterly bogus allegations that you can NOT substantiate. Trolling of this type is a a violation of PF Rules. That you failed to support your drivel regarding "violence" is glaringly obvious.
I'll just copy and paste my answer from the last time you asked the same question: "Yes I am seriously saying taxation is not enforced with violence. I am also saying you are making up fantasy imaginations without being able to provide evidence for your neveneverland. You could easily prove me wrong if you wish by linking something...even one thing from some strange one off incident would help."
If you refuse to pay your taxes, armed government agents will visit you. I find it hard to believe that this needs to even be explained. I'm not going to make a separate reply to @Derideo_Te , as my reply would be the same.
This guy has not filed any federal taxes since 1999 and so far no "armed government agents" have turned up at his door. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/oregon-man-income-tax-abortion_us_5ad0d44de4b077c89ce82b90 Your bogus allegation has zero substantiation.
"Bogus allegation"? You're saying that the state doesn't use force to collect taxes? Are we even really having this conversation?
Onus is entirely on YOU to prove that "violence" is used to collect taxes. Go ahead and provide actual examples and statistics demonstrating exactly how many people the "armed government agents" have beaten to a pulp for not paying their taxes.
And yet...for some odd reason you refuse to link us to a single incident that would back up your claim? I ask for this because I have searched and cannot find it...assistance is requested that I might understand where the claim comes from. I did find a few acts of violence AGAINST IRS agents however.
Interesting to note that earlier this same poster was claiming that they could find everything they needed on the internet and yet when it comes to providing actual substantiation for those bogus allegations there is nothing.
Atheism, since it is crafted on faith-based principles, should be included in a Comparative Human Belief class in high school.
Sunday schools suck and no longer should be teaching this to children, the government needs to take over this role </end sarcasm>
I do not think people like the op trust Sunday schools anymore.... maybe has to do with the child molestation cases? some people obviously feel the government should take over this role
