Great. Forget for a second that the income tax itself is unconstitutional, but now paying more of your own money is patriotic? Biden's propensity to put his foot in his mouth comes back again. Nice.

(cue Tony with "He's only talking about the "rich".)

Does that mean Charles Rangel is being unpatriotic?

I am soooooooooooooooooooo not right wing. But I fucking loathe Democrats with all my heart. I wish we will one day have a Libertarian president... Or at least for the revolution start. Niether seem likely.

I think Washington should clean up their act, and get rid of all the waste, fraud, & abuse before they ask the tax payers for more money.

I personally wish taxes never existed. And i unlike many back up that by not being the one you see out here wanting to nuke half the planet, or "spread democracy' at the barrel of a gun.

You don't see me wanting to bailout failing industry and doubling the budget deficit in less than a week.You don't see me wanting to invade nation after nation, pouring trillions into the military industrial complex.

You don't see me supporting a war in iraq for 30 billion dollars a month. Expanding medicare by a trillion dollars, and implementing a prescription drug plan. Nor do I seek to constantly borrow from China, and devalue our currency. Nor do I support earmarks, and bloated spending bills.

This is all we've gotten lately. No one will end it. So everyone has to pay.

But there are people who support this nonsense. Actively by supporting a political party that advocates all of that while in firm control of every branch of government for over a decade. While whining about the tax burden. Or passively by never calling them to account for it. Days, months, years after the fact.

These are the same people who want to kill half the planet, spread democracy at gunpoint, nation build, and perform militarized welfare across the planet. Well the cost of this empire is massive. And that's what happens when you advocate such nonsense.

Empire is not free. America was founded as a republic. It's quite hilariously simple. Even Star Wars knew better. Republic = good. Empire = bad.

All of this garbage that has been forced down our throats costs. So stop whining about how much taxes are, pay your share of what you wanted, and shut the fuck up.
