You can't possibly be serious. How would we be able to fund the government if that happened?
You can't possibly believe it would make sense to go on an "honor system" to collect taxes.
??? It's one thing to pay taxes on goods, property, etc., and it's quite another to have money taken out of your check for your labor.
That is what I object to. You get paid to work a job; that is your labor...to be taxed for working is ridiculous -- again, regardless of law, to be taxed on your labor is plain absurd. The gov't didn't lay those bricks, nail shingles, cut wood to build houses, paint, answer the phone, serve dinner, bake a cake, clean homes, clean a sewer, work on an oil rig, teach a class, drive a bus, etc. However money is automatically taken out for your labor before you see a dime. So -- $$ is taken out for
your labor. Think about it. On your paycheck stubs for your labor it indicates $$ automatically deducted going into FICA and Medicare. 7.6% of money that you worked for is automatically deducted.
So, don't tell me it isn't MY money. The gov't didn't do my darn job.
That is just plain WRONG!
