    Calling it taxes extortion makes you a temporarily embarrassed billionaire.

      Thats what taxes are though. Its men with guns telling you to give them some of what you worked for or else… Sounds like extortion to me.

        Yes, that’s the Iam14andThisIsDeep perspective of taxes. It’s what libertarians, aka diet-republicans say.

        Blaming taxes being too high as the reason for why the wealthy are wealthy is them performing mind control on you.

        And if that’s what not what you’re saying, check the thread you’re in.
