"WTF? That's pretty offensive..."

You find it offensive - why is that? Are you a tax eater?


"...and stupid."

Since you think I'm stupid, please enlighten me as to why government employees do not fit in with the rest of the tax consumers in my original list.

Consider that, in the private sector, people VOLUNTARILY pay for goods and services; in the 'public' sector, people are FORCED through taxation to pay for things they do not want. Government employees are paid through taxation; they proved no services for which people would voluntarily pay. Thus they fit into the general category of net tax consumers with all the rest in my original list. Taxation is morally indistinguishable from robbery, so that makes them either parasites or thieves.


"You shouldn't even be allowed to vote."

Don't worry, I do not vote since I refuse to provide the sanction of the victim nor play rigged games. As to the utility of voting, L. Niel Smith said it best: "If voting could change things, it would be illegal."
