"You owe tax for future activity, not for something that's already happened."

This is the first time I've ever thought you might be trolling instead of just wrong. You produce some amazing gems when you're cornered, Jeff.

I don't see how I'm trolling you or how you've cornered me. I've not once seen taxation considered a debt, more a societal obligation. Thus, when tax rates are lowered, you're not seeing your debt "forgiven" as you're putting it. It's an absurd position to take.

Hey, maybe I'll try that logic on the IRS next year. "I don't view this so much as a debt..."

And I'd say you're pretty much cornered, if you're defending yourself with statements as patently stupid as, "You owe tax for future activity, not for something that's already happened." Have you ever filed your own taxes, or do you just have servants prepare them for you?

I file my own taxes, thanks. It's revenues to pay for upcoming expenditures, of course.

You can say I'm "cornered," but you've not refuted a single thing I've said up to this point, so...

"It's revenues to pay for upcoming expenditures, of course."

Nice try, but I'm not going to let you subtly change the subject and pretend that's what we were talking about the whole time. Face it, you're cornered... again.

Sorry, I don't see how I'm cornered. You're the one who threw the curveball with the whole "debt" nonsense.

It wasn't a "curveball"; I explained it in detail. And then you began to squirm.

Whatever you say.
