I am a junior in high school. The past two days, my auto repair teacher has been out. In his place we got a crazy substitute who is a Jehovah's Witness. Normally I don't like these people, or any radical religious group, but she seemed okay. That was until she told us about her views on politics. She had the crazy idea that her religion was its own "government", and she was not a citizen of the U.S. (even though she was born here). I asked her how that made sense, since she must pay taxes. She claimed that her "government" said that their people should pay taxes to the U.S.
So according to her, she can have her own government, one that can tell the citizens whether or not they can pay taxes and follow the laws. Does this make any sense at all? When you're born in this country, you're a citizen, you pay taxes not because your religion tells you to but because the government says you have to....... Am I wrong??? no.
