New GOP Meme - No Taxes On The Rich Or Businesses

[WriteWrong]

11. I don't have a problem with business not paying taxes, as long as they don't use any public services

The first service they are NOT allowed to use is the military/police presence necessary to protect them from Mexican drug lords, Somalian pirates, Chinese vulture capitalists, American meth heads, violent protestors, random crazies with rifles, or anybody else.

The next thing they are NOT allowed to use is the world's resource base - no minerals, no energy, no communications, no benefits from anything paid for with taxes.

The next thing they are NOT allowed to use is the United States legal system. No cops, no lawyers, no trials for them. The law only supports taxpayers, even if they pay a penny a year.

The next thing they are NOT allowed to use is the collective body of knowledge built up by civil societies and science over the last couple hundred years.

Under those conditions, sure, I'll let them off of paying taxes.
