Why should we expect the level of government services to decline or simply not increase? Why should it be just a snap shot in time? Because it's not, it's a trend heading towards proportionally fewer and fewer people being taxed in the net. <br /><br />Of course you don't give a rats ass Jimmy Joe Meekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09559104650594440766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758330678390419129.post-18965011517934311802019-04-12T10:11:42.748-04:002019-04-12T10:11:42.748-04:00Hello, Jimmy,
You're predicting what a group ...Hello, Jimmy,<br /><br />You're predicting what a group of people with self-interest and will are going to do or not do in the future based on a statistical snapshot (i.e. what "60% of 'households'" pay in taxes). That's what I am pointing out to: the fallacy of your premise. Saying that 60%^ of households are not taxpayers is like saying 60% of people are wearing jeans.OldMexicanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16111465436836633221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758330678390419129.post-58323245899496560142019-04-12T03:13:06.146-04:002019-04-12T03:13:06.146-04:00Predictive?

That's how much is socialized and how expensive government is here. And it certainly hasn't improved in the years since. For it not to be true of immigrants, immigrants would on the whole need to be doing better than those born here by quite a margin. <br /><br />Old Mexican, you have no Jimmy Joe Meekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09559104650594440766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758330678390419129.post-4496757238137603512019-04-12T00:48:40.973-04:002019-04-12T00:48:40.973-04:00"I'm pointing out that the cart is full&q..."I'm pointing out that the cart is full"<br /><br />You're engaging in restrictionist fallacy.

Without proof, you're able to determine what people who produce and work are going to pay in taxes in the future. Even when taxes are not voluntary, which makes your prediction absurd.

Government has taken monopoly is only part of it there is also no capitalism existing in the system and the Oligarchy is actively marginalizing Anyone not in the top 10% and this exerts pressure on those that are trying to maintain.<br /><br />Immigration does not live in a bubble.Shegottawideloadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16752677440246325222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758330678390419129.post-60462293248370452342019-04-11T16:59:07.737-04:002019-04-11T16:59:07.737-04:00"This is shallow lefty like thinking."
..."This is shallow lefty like thinking."<br /><br />Not at all. Shallow lefty like thinking is not considering how present system functions. Lefties "feel" for the people just wanting to escape some horrible place and let them in then take from the american taxpayer and give to the new arrivals without any deeper consideration. That's shallow lefty thinking. <br /><br />&Jimmy Joe Meekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09559104650594440766noreply@blogger.com
