Taxes and the American people?

Question

Do you think America is going to have another Boston tea party revolt against taxes??

Answer 1

The ones who are paying taxes might. The ones who overly benefit from taxation will make sure there are lifeguards posted, because a drowned taxpayer can't continue to "contribute".

Answer 2

First of all, the revolt quietly moves forward. It's estimated that as many as ten million Americans don't pay taxes or even bother to file a tax return.
Secondly, corporate America is the worst of tax evaders. They hire legions of tax advisors to minimize their taxes, hire platoons of tax lawyers to tie things up in tax court until the IRS 'settles' for pennies on the dollars, and often simply don't bother paying taxes at all. Halliburton is the most grievous example: that company has made BILLIONS off the Iraq 'war' and the U.S. taxpayer, but is moving its headquarters offshore to avoid paying any tax at all to the U.S. government!
Corporate tax evasion is much more widespread than personal tax evasion. Still, a contemporary Boston Tea Party is in order. Most of our tax money is squandered by nincompoop members of Congress. -RKO- 08/22/07

Answer 3

We need tax reform now! No Boston tea party but the taxpayer is being undermined by this elitist run new world order crowd.

Answer 4

I challenge you to find a country which has an overall tax burden lower than the United States. Then tell me if you would want to live there.

Quit whinning about taxes already. They are a part of life.

Answer 5

in a sense the American people already hve, except not in one large organized act. The USA needs taxes in order for our great country to work, a fact that even the sourest people to taxes must acknowledge. I don't people will organize a tax revolt unless some rich person like Micheal Moore or Al Gore get involved. (lol)
