I am just saying they are assholes because they don't pay taxes. What makes them immune or above paying taxes? They have declared themselves too important to pay?
I can find many other reasons to find fault with drug pushers. They make neighborhoods hard to travel in. They raise the crime level. I'd be more focused on this stuff than taxes, dude. Where's your priorities?
I would be fine with legalizing pot. I don't like it, but I don't care if others use it; it would generate a lot of tax revenue. Hell, it would probably fix California.
I've stated time and time again that I don't even do drugs... but understand what the legalization of marijuana would do for our country in the way of revenue.
Well, liberals are so concerned that gov't should be taking money from my wallet and giving it to those in need;
Grrrrrrrr...
Just like no gay man is interested in finding out what is in your pants, nobody in a poor neighborhood is interested in finding out what's in YOUR wallet. They could careless what you make, where you live and what they can take from you. They want to make their own. Perhaps if affordable & accessible jobs (with training), education and housing were made available to these areas you wouldn't have to be so worried about what's in your pocket? Besides... EVERYONE pays taxes, star. Even Welfare recipients. It doesn't only count on April 15th.
Put your prejudicial ideologies aside for once.
I'm just surprised that there is no outrage when the wealthy drug dealers don't help out the poverty-stricken people in the very neighborhoods in which they make a living.
It's ridiculous statements like these that make me laugh at you.
Really?! You think people in the "ghetto" should go up to drug dealers and insist that they pay taxes? What part of illegal do you not understand, star? How naive are you, star? You got legit corporations now engaging in tax evasion... what on EARTH do you think would happen if a community approached a drug dealer and told them to fill out an 1099 form?
Why are you even viewing drug lords as some kind of financial epicenter to a poor area to begin with?!?
It can be inferred that drug dealers - aside from selling harmful products and avoiding taxes - are also among the most selfish of any business and or human alive.
Bullshit. Now you're being DESPERATE.
Nobody intentionally goes into an illegal profession unless they think it's the only way out. If some can't get a job any other way to make ends meet, some turn to selling drugs since it's a quick and easy way to gat money at that precise moment. Being that you never grew up poor, lived in a poor neighborhood, or seen just how low people would go in order to survive, I wouldn't expect you to know this. But understand, what you see in movies on BET is not the real deal by any means.
[*]Sell harmful products
[*]Kill
[*]Maim
[*]Don't pay taxes
[*]Don't help the poverty-stricken in any way; but do sell their harmful products to them
[*]No benefits (retirement, health, vacation) for any of their employees
[*]According to Freakonomics - the low level employees/soldiers earn less than minimum wage
[*]No employee handbook to resolve disputes/conflicts. They simply murder
You're making this too easy:
1. Pharmaceutical companies sell harmful products, disguised as experimental drugs to cure ailments. Even a prescription Acne drug can kill you.
2. Our Government kills people by going into wars under false pretenses and not providing a solution to Health Care.
3. When our Government had Dick Cheney as VP, they approved torture.
4. EVERYONE pays taxes, star. Watch a bum next time they buy a burger at McDonald's off the Value Menu and see if it rings up as "exempt".
5. Corporations don't help people in the ghetto either. When was the last time anything besides a Foot Locker or a liquor store opened in the poor areas?
6. The benefit for people selling drugs is that they get to live to see another day. When it's all about survival and people become this desperate, that's all they're worried about.
7. More and more, you make the book sound more freakish and less interesting.
8. Gee... they resort to murder? Funny how I know people who actually sold drugs, got out of the game and are STILL ALIVE? Stereotype much, star?
Until you can put aside your bigoted, prejudicial attitudes about the poor, you are not remotely qualified of having an honest discussion about their struggles. Your so-called "tax contribution" doesn't make your views anymore relevant either. Don't let your so-called "fiscal conservatism" make you so blind that you lack even the slightest bit of compassion. After a post like that, you should be the last person trying to spread any kind of moral or ethical advice.
