Tax laws are usually made to make it easy to collect, hard to dodge taxes.

If companies pay all the tax I could create a company, invoice my current employer, pay myself a salary that is equal to the entire profit margin. There is nothing left to tax.

You could try to patch the loophole but then you'll break down something else.

Where I live a majority of the voters are generally okay with high taxes (35%-50%) as long as it's only shared with other people who works and pays taxes.

It's evil to take someones money. It's necessary because it funds the surrounding. A necessary evil, as op asked for.

Twice as many mattreses as needed.

Tax. Noone wants their money to be taken away. But it's probably a good idea to have at least some government funded stuff.

Whatever as long as it's not sweet potato.

I'm convinced my old car was haunted. Flickering lights, unexplained movements, the muffled screams of the damned from the glove compartment.

I don't live in the US, I only care for your foregin policy. I'm all for immigration for anyone who can be bothered to work and pay taxes with the rest of us. In fact if you manage so sneak into the country and pay tax you should be given a temporary residence permit just for the trouble.

If you have been a permanent resident for a long time you should be allowed to become a citizen. If your parents were here for a few years when you were born I'm not convinced it's a good idea.

We should definitely accept refugees. They have an urgent need of safety. If they get a job and pay taxes I don't see an issue with giving them permanent residency either. A permanent resident does not have the same urgent need of becoming a citizen.

Why is cultural diversity an advantage? It's mentioned in the political debate by both sides as either essential or with disdain. I don't understand why either side would be correct in this case.

I see a clear disadvantage, but I'm willing to listen to the arguments for the other side before I make up my mind.

No. What's the advantage for me as a citizen?

Speed up by far. All the focus will be on producing enough stuff to replace whatever the enemy blows up. Any invention in the renewable department will only come as a result of having used all available fuel already.

The world population still increased during the previous world wars so unless we have a major nuclear exchange that probably won't change. If we do have a major nuclear war global warming is suddenly not a big deal anyway.

If you get the wrong idea about how good they actually do it's not because you got my scale wrong, it's because I spent 5 minutes thinking about how I feel they do.

What do they spend the money on instead?

Do you get value for your money in your country?

I'm okay with paying my taxes, don't really care if it's more or less as long as they are responsible with spending it.

I rate my town government B- and national government B+ when it comes to responsibility.

I've been to two. For one I was the designated driver.

I pay tax so that someone else can figure out who murdered who.

Please, I only have one life and I don't want to spend it thinking about miserable things.

My up/down votes gets as much attention as their importance warrants. None at all.

If you live in an open and transparent society: there will be an investigation and there is a high chance they will find out. You'll be expected to take care of the mess with disaster relief for the survivors. Also about 40% of the people did vote for you. Also even the ones who did not vote for you still pays tax.

If you live in a dictatorship: police brutality is cheaper and is a bit more selective in it's targeting.

You have to pay a highly educated individual to spend hours finding any weakness to hack anything.

If you hack a big organization you'll get more then a few dollars from a bank account. They also have a lot more things that could be vulnerable to hacking.
