If I'm A 2nd Class Citizen... I Want A 2nd Class Tax Rate
If I'm not permitted all the benefits and priveleges afforded to the first-class citizens, then why should I help to pay for them?

I want a refund of my previous purchases... and a deep discount on all future purchases. I'm not getting what I'm paying for.

1. Yeah, I'm with you!
And if I can't have reproductive rights over my body I want free health care!

2. The Gay Tax Credit. But how would you stop straight people...
Edited on Thu Nov-04-04 11:24 AM by eataTREE
...from lying about their preferences in order to claim it?

Would you have to go down to the IRS offices and perform a homosexual act on a tax auditor?

3. Only on the cute auditors.
Imagine the job description for the auditors who had to prove or disprove a gay tax credit!

11. Don't Be Silly...
The way to prove it is by random DVD and CD testing. Just pop in for an unexpected visit and check out their music and movie collections.

5. Oh but didn't you know?
2nd class citizens get the HIGHER tax rate in this country. Singles, marrieds with no kids, gays, and people who make less than $200K.

Rich folks and white hetero evangelical Christian baby factories are the 1st class non taxpayers here.

6. You're right.
You may be a 2nd class citizen, but your a first rate guy in my book. Let's just fix the first part and leave the second part alone, OK?

Not that that matters much.

7. Thanks For The Kind Words.
Did you know that a tax cut for the homos will help to stimulate the economy?

9. What do you think 2nd class means?
2nd class means you get crap, get to pay for it, and are expected to smile and say "Thank you, sir."

And btw, if you don't make $200,000 or more, you are now 2nd class in this country. This will come as a rude surprise to most of the 58 million who voted for Bush's 2nd term, but it's a fact.

10. I know it's not funny,
but I had to chuckle at that post. The logic is sound.

This is not an America that I wish to be a part of. This makes me indescribably angry. I can't imagine how it must make you feel.

12. Me too, darling... And not to mention that we should get a huge cut in SS
taxes... Why should I pay so much into Social Security if my partner won't benefit from it if I die?

13. You're right.
To be completely honest, though, if I made enough money to have to pay taxes I would already be in prison for non-payment. Those f*ckers can kiss my ass if they think I'm giving them anything.

Since women only make 75 cents on the dollar of what men make for the same work...can I take my tax bill and only pay 75% of it? And how about giving me a 25% discount on everything I buy while we're at it? :)
