Yeah, but I hear the income tax is a killer.

The first mistakes by the messiah - thinking he can overrule a bunch of putzes in congress.

Fuckit. I'll rapture their sorry asses.

Fuckit. I'll rapture their sorry asses.

That would be mistake 2, giving them what they want. Maybe just tell them politicians aren't on the guest list for your place.

Well I see you haven't read the new Good News. In my rapture all the world's bastards are gathered up into a cosmic piñata for an appearance at Lucifer's coming out party. You're invited to take the first whack.

HaHa..the real plan...

That all ignores state and local taxes. Every state except NH and WYO have income taxes separate from federal income taxes. Most states also add a sales tax to every purchase in the neighborhood of 8 percent. Cities collect property taxes that probably average a few thousand dollars a year for every home owner. The US is taxed and retaxed and then taxed again. The greater problem is that we see fit to spend a trillion dollars a year destroying other countries and killing random people.

That's true - and property taxes, sin taxes on items like cigarettes, parking tickets, tolls, etc. What people don't understand here is, if they don't tax your income they'll get your money some other way.

What I don't understand is why they tax cigarettes around $9-10 a pack in NYC but the roads still look like shit.

The only taxes that have plunged are the taxes on the very wealthy for whose benefit these wars of mass destruction are waged. Were I to be elected my first act would be to confiscate their wealth. The second act would be to declare peace. The third act would be to announce myself as messiah.

If you do the first two I'll call you the third. No problem. I'll also call you douchebag but that's nothing new.

HaHa..the real plan...

What? You figured I was some mill run messiah?
