No it's just the US and some of the others that joined on the money bandwagon.

Terrorists only hate the US and people with money or people who take US money?

So? I'm thinking of doing away with all rich people so the rest of us can pay our fair share. But since i'm considered rich by Uncle Sam, I think i'll fire ALL three of my employees and work under the table,by myself, like the smart poor people do. All my rich friends have agreed to do the same. I'm tired of getting punished for busting my ass for 30 years a rich people....dig deep into your pockets and buck up my share of taxes. Thank you. I quit.

Have fun. Good luck not getting thrown in jail for tax evasion.

Luckily that is a victimless crime, so no jail time should be needed right?

It's a crime against the Constitution, which states that Congress can tax the people. I suppose he should be given the option to renounce citizenship and leave the country instead of jail time.

Sounds like a good alternative.

One might wonder though why he didn't do so before he got caught...

It seems to me it's a case of breach of contract - the original contract of the USA, the Constitution. It should be treated as any other such breach.

It could even be seen as a variation of treason I suppose. Nah. Doesn't sound right. Breach of contract makes more sense.

Well, lets distinguish "terrorists" from those who are fighting the US occupation.

"Terrorists" are the ones that flew the planes and bombed the USS Cole etc

The people fighting the US in Iraq are not terrorists. They are fighting the US in a war in Iraq. To label them terrorists is misleading (although effective if you are a US politician)


I meant other countries who joined in because they were offered cash and/or business deals by the US to join the fight.

Are the people blowing up marketplaces terrorists?

I can handle my taxes if that's what you're asking.

So terrorists only hate the US and people who help the US or take money from the US in the fight against terrorists. (Not the Iraq war)

By signing your income tax forms you agree to pay those taxes. If you don't sign the forms you have no contract. The income tax is illegal. I like the word treason better. Maybe it will make me a movie star like Jane Fonda. I thought our constitutional rights were taken away by Bush anyway. What constitution?

Very little, as I make little money.

I have no intention of paying your debts. Sorry.

When you reach the age of 18 years old and fail to renounce your citizenship you implicitly accept the Consitution. That is the contract in question.

What law does income taxation break?

Treason's generally rewarded with execution I believe. Isn't it?

I don't think I've ever said our Constitutional rights were taken away by Bush.
