Warren Buffet speaks common sense; alarms most Republicans

[Asher]

There's an atheist church?

Why must it be a church? It's a mindset and a group of people.

Are churches that were founded before 1776 the only tax-free groups?

I think it's hilarious that you are telling people to be less pretentious when you openly ascribe your personal value to the wealth you've accrued. What's next, spats?

Frankly, I think it's sad. You're telling a young and up and coming relatively bright person that he's never going to surpass you, that I find hilarious. As if that were difficult.

Asher, here's a protip. Those who've got it don't talk about it. Those who don't make a big deal out of it. Guess which side you fall in on.

You're a ****ing moron. I'm referring to Buffett being more successful than Jag is and ever will be, not myself.

[Ben Kenobi]

Do you think Jag will be more successful than Buffett?

I think he'll be more successful than you.

[Lorizael]

Because they were there before this whole US of A things got going.

So was every American born before 1776. I wonder if they paid taxes?

[Asher]

I think he'll be more successful than you.

Even if that were true, it has **** all to do with what I was saying you mentally deficient reject.

Good thing you didn't actually say that in the quote.

They weere! They didn't paqy a penny in income taxes, the worthless hypocrites.

[Asher]

Holy ****, you are so unbelievably stupid...

That entire post is about Buffett's opinion. Not once did I mention myself.

You have zero reading comprehension ability. Zero.

That's irrelevant. The US government has sovereignty, enforced by its military, and can tax anyone. Churches are tax exempt because public opinion is against taxing them and the government belongs to the public.

I'm having a lot of trouble figuring out what your first "sentence" is supposed to mean. Anywho, there were certainly taxes before income taxes.

The US does not have sovereignty over the Church. The Constitution expressly says so.

Indeed they paid excise taxes which cares about goods not people. So stating that George Washington paid taxes is probably correct, but the taxation system doesn't care that George Washington personally paid his taxes.

So newspapers shouldn't pay taxes either, right?

Can you show me where there's supposed to be a wall of separation between the press and the state?

The US also taxed property. Property owned by... you guessed it... people.

So you admit the government should not recognize marriage.
