    Death and taxes right? Can't be avoided? One certainly cannot, but if the will was there, one certainly can. What has this taught us? What have people learned from this statement? They have learned that 'there is nothing you can do', 'the punishments will continue and there is no point in trying to avoid them'. Pavlov proved it. If you teach a man or beast there is nothing you can do to avoid a negative condition, the man or beast will not even try to avoid it. Death is certain, taxes not so much. But what else have we learned cannot be avoided but really can be? Watch and find out!

    Fake "no tax" libertarians do not understand capitalism or how to maintain it. I do love their naivety ;)

    Nothing like tax evading right wingers, mind you, moaning about unemployment scroungers. They don't see the irony.

    That was an “S” as in “Sharpton” when I typed it , but due to the Mandela effect, it was altered in a micro singularity event from the quantum displacement rift in the time space continuum

    Oh, I like to think I understand both taxation and capitalism, huge fan of the latter. I think the better question is, 'If you are a fan of taxation, why?' I would be happy to pay 9 percent, would never hear another word from me about it. Take it, do well with it!
