2. That's simple

"SOMEONE" has to pay taxes so the "RICH" can have all the benefits like good roads, police protection, fire protection, etc. I mean hell that's what all of the "little folk" are for, to pay for all the things the rich use, but don't want to have to pay for themselves! :sarcasm: :sarcasm:

3. exactly.

the whole issue needs to be turned on it's head, but there are no reporters with access to the repugnants, who will ask the questions that need to be publicly asked: How much should people pay in taxes? The minute they say anything more than zero then you point out that they're pro-taxes. We should move to eliminate all taxes then the repugnants can fund their precious military out of their own pockets

4. Isn't that the plan?

I'd say don't give them ideas, but I'm pretty sure this is what they're working toward - ZERO taxes, of any kind, for the wealthy.

5. Does the term logical fallacy mean anything?

Assuming the premise, it's much like a U shaped response curve in medicine.

7. Thats what they want then they will fuel the military with an obscene usage tax(es)

Roads and such can be paid for with tolls and further usage fees.
