If you can net $400,000 from your home by selling it yourself, or net $450,000 (money in your pocket) by hiring a professional who uses all of his marketing skills and the tools provided to him by his industry to increase the demand for your home, where's the theft?

Vi there have been taxes in this country since the Times of George Washington, and yes there have been a few tax revolts. Do you remember reading about the "Whiskey Rebellion"in 1791? Each time there was a tax revolt it was crushed. Taxes are constitutional as well, read the 16th amendment.

The theft is in the 50 grand you stole from the buyer. He could have bought that house for 400,000 but you injected your profit onto the sales price and cut the owner in for a tid, so the buyer takes it up the arse. Now every time that house re-sells, you will be adding another 50-70 grand and taking your cut, so you and the owner are cutting up the take, just like bank robbers do after a heist, only you don't use a gun. That's why my son and millions of other hard working middle class people can't afford to buy a home except on these subprime scams. Thank god my son is too smart to fall for this larceny. It is the greedy realtors along with the greedy homeowners that have perpetrated this lascivious larceny on America and the price of a single family home has gone from 100,000 to 400,000 in ten years, pathetic.

XIII Amendment:

"Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."

For someone who professes to be such a constitutional scholar, you really haven't thought the words through, have you Dank? What does the term "involuntary servitude" mean to you as they relate to income taxes and the required record keeping?

now that edwards has unveiled his health care plan and mandatory checkups i guess he has come out of the closet as a raging hard-core socialist - the race on the left is now down to hillary. even slightly liberal people will have a hard time accepting government ownership of their health...


it's a good bet she'll still keep him on the ticket as VP because obama has been a bit too prone to catastrophic blundering...

7x ...

I read Edward's plan for mandatory medical check ups over the weekend and couldn't believe my freakin' eyes. These egomaniacs have no concept of the document they've sworn to uphold ... the Constitution.

Hey Dank and Med ...

How does Edward's proposal square with the 13th Amendment's involuntary servitude clause? ~lol~

yep, you'll take our health care and you'll like it! it's an unbelievable scheme.

they see people as machines that need regular maintenance and tune ups to make sure they are providing optimum tax flow to the system. i wouldn't doubt if they legislate mandatory termination of old people because they get expensive to keep around. maybe exterminate the groups with a lower IQ someday, to really make sure they trim the fat...

mark my words, this kind of scheme coupled with the no child left behind act will result in a generation unlike anything ever seen in this country. we're being managed more and more like cattle.
