Take half her toys away, and say "I just taxed you."
- codeslush 16y agoThis is an absolutely beautiful way to define it! Made me laugh. Thank, you. Now, give her a toy she doesn't like and say this is what you just paid for. But before you let her get too mad, tell her to go ride her bike and inform her that the toys she gave up helped pay for the streets/sidewalk on which she rides her bike. Not perfect, but could be worse.

- beagle3 16y agoI'm surprised I'm downvoted for this, perhaps someone would explain why -- a significant percentage of budget goes to fund politician's friends and supporters. Specifically, the $700B bank bailout of 2008 went to pay for reckless bets by bankers. (Which were all too happy to take the profits, when they were there, to themselves) How is that not part of the tax system?
- bdclimber14 16y agoI was down-voted quite a bit for my original, short, un-opinionated comment, which really surprised me. I think anytime you touch on a politically relevant topic, a lot of people will dislike it, no matter what it is. Unless its like a human rights issues like current Egyptian affairs.
- consultutah 16y agoTax is when those horrible democrats take all of daddy's money so he doesn't have any left to buy you toys. You can substitute republicans in there too, as long as you are talking about the last two decades or so..
