And as far as that bottomless hole goes, theyre getting the money to throw into that hole whether or not it comes from apple and monsanto. Youre logic is flawed if you think the billions/trillions of dollars that go unpaid dont affect you and me

Spark_Plugg

it creates a higher deficit that the rest of us are left to pay. sure, maybe it wouldn't affect us on a huge scale, but why should everyone pay an extra couple bucks so they don't have to?

Edit: you know they also use those funds to keep up our crumbling infrastructure right?

I don't think it's necessarily shills. Just people who still believe in the American Dream. Temporarily embarrassed millionaires.

Alright buddy. /s

Spark_Plugg

whatt? Why should anybody get a pass on paying taxes? If one has to pay we all have to pay.. there's nothing crazy about that.

We the people are the ones who pay the price when a megalithic company refuses to pay taxes, so I don't see why shills would be needed.

Sometimes they're actually not "dodging" taxes. It's very common for rich people to be behind on their taxes due to the complex tax code, business & accounting considerations, and personal financial needs. For instance, I file extensions almost every year. So by October I might be "behind" on my taxes around $2k-5k every year, but I'm not dodging anything, they'll get their fucking tax dollars by choice or by force.

I wouldnt mind paying taxes... if it wasnt going towards lining the pockets of people I hate and have no interest in furthering the country. its ridiculous that so much money goes to absolutely nothing.

I wouldn't mind paying taxes if I knew for a fact, as in, you could follow the tax transaction from my purchase/check/whatever to the group that money is going to.

Like, I live in a town. Why do I need to pay taxes for the roads if I don't drive? Or to support the police if I think they are cold-blooded murderers? What if I didn't support the people who are in charge, or their decisions? I just have to pay up cause that's the way it is?

I agree with you, but nobody would pay for anything if that was an option

The majority are most likely just cowardly statists. Shills seem to be becoming more common, but for every issue that needs shilling, there are still tons of idiots who can't properly analyze the situation and place blame on those seeking freedom, rather than those in control.

If I was making an enormous amount of money, I'd do anything I could to hide it too. And I'm almost positive anyone who complains about it would too, of they were in that position.

Corruption is necessary for survival when you have fiat currency and fractional reserve banking.
