Income taxes are necessary. But property taxes are inherently a bad thing because it means you never truly own your property. And aren't necessary if there is income tax. Why should there be property taxes if there is already income tax and sales tax? That's crazy. Property taxes is just a way to make sure people "own nothing and will be happy." The only reason income taxes aren't covering everything nowadays is because of corrupt politicians and because of too many government handouts to corporations. And when it comes to the USA, because of all the wars which eats up most of the tax dollars. Because war is insanely expensive due to the military industrial complex charging insane prices for every little thing. EDIT: And also because so many wealthy people pay only 1% in taxes or less or just nothing.

If you think income tax is necessary you’re either a Keynesian retard or severely economically illiterate. You don’t ever “truly own your property” that’s the entire point of living in a government. Even the pilgrims understood this.

And aren't necessary if there is income tax. Why should there be property taxes if there is already income tax and sales tax?

Income tax is light years more damaging to personal earnings that any other tax, bar none. You’re crying about something that isn’t even a fraction of the lifetime cost of an income tax.

The only reason income taxes aren't covering everything nowadays is because of corrupt politicians and because of too many government handouts to corporations.

That’s just hilariously false, the income tax was always an abuse and was blatantly unconstitutional until congress forced it to fund socialism.

And when it comes to the USA, because of all the wars which eats up most of the tax dollars. Because war is insanely expensive due to the military industrial complex charging insane prices for every little thing.

This is just made up socialist bullshit, boomers healthcare and social security costs more than war.

Is this satire or are you just trolling?

It’s not satire. Do you know how much boomers cost each year?

We don't live in the 1800s. Before income tax, people were riding fucking horses on dirt roads. Of course in a world like that, governments don't need a lot of tax dollars.

Hey anti simp I was rooting for you, but you lost this one bud

Also by defending any government tax you are simping. Please live up to your name and encourage me to live up to mine.

And look at the dumb shit they (we) are paying for now. We wouldn't "need"* an income tax if we reigned in fraud, waste, abuse, immigration, and other forms of looting the treasury.

*The air quotes here are doing a LOT of heavy lifting.

You have to be a troll. Property taxes paid for roads and infrastructure to include public works and schools. Why the fuck do you think there’s magically different neighborhoods with wildly different amenities despite being in the same city and state?

How does that tweet go? "Boy, I can't wait for The Great War [World War 1] to end so we can get rid of this temporary income tax."

i'll take: "people who clearly don't understand the difference between state, federal, payroll and excise taxes," for $200, Alex.
