Reply #68: LOL. I got an earned income tax credit year-before-last.

I don't pay income taxes, most years, because I don't make enough money to owe them. I pay sales and property taxes. I have, in the past, paid significant capital gains taxes, i.e. I've already paid a lot into "the system," and I will again when my income improves.

I just can't do it now, and a law that forces me to do it now will hurt--a lot, and I am not the only one. Such a law will also drive a lot of people away from the party. Personally, I hope we can pick up some seats in 2010. This bill, if it becomes law, will drive people away in droves.

And you do sound like you're saying it's better for me to die than for your taxes to go up. I am sorry to hear that you feel that way.
