Where can we muster up troops who would be happy to re-educate our elected officials wanting a career in politics… to serve WE THE PEOPLE.. ??? I hate working paycheck to paycheck but I have never given up on living.
Show me a a volunteer tax plan like the proposed consumption tax that will take exactly 23% of my spending for our big government and ONLY WHEN I DEEM FIT TO PAY IT… learn about winning over others lacking having a right to a full paycheck at http://www.fairtax.org.

I just have one quick question.

If people don't want to pay their fair share of taxes but want all the entitlements and benefits those taxes pay for, then why do deadbeats live or work in a city that has levied a payroll tax for over 50 years and then complain about?

Is it because liberals aren't willing to pay the taxes they want to stick everybody else with? Yep, that must be it.

Violence is supported when it's used in self defense.
Can you imagine how powerful the state would be if the American people used self defense against police and other forms of government violence?
Currently we do not defend ourselves from government violence except in a politically correct controlled manner.

Since government is sanctioned, self defense is no loner self defense but criminal action against the state.

Ladies and Gentleman, this is what Fascism looks like. Government is evil and stupid. Tell Mayor Nutter to get over being picked on in school for his name and go get a real job.

one more thing: wasn't the declaration of independence signed… in Philadelphia?!!

No, I do not think Nutter is patriotic at all.

my comments in between:
—————————————
"The dissenters above are the kind of liberals that have put this country an its cities in the bankrupt stat they are in."
—————————————
no- libertarians want their money and DO NOT ask the government for anything in return. The fact that the govt creates monopolies and cartels that prevent the market from serving private alternatives notwithstanding. The govt is a thief, holding us at gunpoint (we go to jail if we sufficiently resist paying taxes). That money would be better spent in the non-govt-cartel, non-govt-granted monopoly, free market for all kinds of things, including assistance to those in need, private roads, private defense, private non-employer-based health insurance, etc…
—————————————
"Any responsible, patriotic citizen would be happy to pay a reasonable tax."
—————————————
taxation=theft, thou shalt not steal
—————————————
"But you @ssholes want every thing handed to you while giving nothing back. If your boss decided to hold out a little on your paycheck, you'd be the first ones bitching."
—————————————
testy testy. I guess all those private philanthropies do nothing. I guess people taking care of their own families and paying tithe to the ministries that help the poor counts for nothing. That those efforts would be hindered by the taxman or a cut in pay would indeed make us a little upset.
—————————————
"But you're also the first to bitch about paying your fair share."
—————————————
all taxation is theft. when a thief steals from you and promises to use some of the proceeds for public good, it does not make the theft more pleasant. We just celebrated our victory in the revolutionary war, which among other things, was fought over "taxation without representation is tyranny." We seceded from Britain. We are taxed without representation. We need to secede today.
—————————————
"I'm a conservative but I respect and admire Nutter"
—————————————
(this is why we libertarians are not conservative!) conservatives are fond of the constitution and our independence–at least they say– but unfortunately your hamiltonianism is showing.
—————————————
"for standing up to you scumbags and living up to the oath he took which is more than the asshat you all support in DC who puts tax cheats on his payroll."
—————————————
testy testy again. Obama put a tax cheat in the white house. His oath meant nothing to him. if it did, he would cut services before ever raising a penny on taxes. If your son spent every dollar and then some- you would not give him more money- likewise the govt.

So when they lock up productive people for not forking over their hard earned money to pay for the unproductive, who will be left to produce?

You'll never take me alive, Nutter! Just try to catch me! Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go spend more of my untaxed money on illegal vices.

How on Earth have people like this not been ostracized from civilization yet? They bring absolutely nothing to the table. All they do is go around bullying and threatening people, extorting people, and using their stolen money and power to wreak havoc and chaos in society. It is always such a joke when governments complain about budget shortfalls…these idiots never cut back on anything!!! They have absolutely no concept of money, but to take yours and stick in their pocket through the coercive mechanism of the state. I hope Philadelphians stick this punk in a potato sack and dump him off at the edge of town.
