Tax man to take a bite of tech employees' free meals?

MORON PROFESSOR RESPONDS TO: TAX MAN TO TAKE A BITE OF TECH EMPLOYEES' FREE MEALS?

**********

"I buy my lunch with after-tax dollars. And I have to pay taxes to support free meals for those Google employees," Martin McMahon, Jr., a tax-law professor at the University of Florida, told the Journal, adding that he believed the free meals should be considered taxable income.

**********

First of all...

WHY IS IT THAT BECAUSE A PERSON CHOOSES TO WORK FOR A COMPANY OR INDUSTRY THAT OFFERS A 'HUMAN' BENEFIT THAT DOESN'T TAX FOR SUCH, DOES ONE LIKE PROF. McMAHON FEEL THEY SHOULD BE PUNISHED BECAUSE HE IS MORONIC ENOUGH TO WORK FOR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM THAT CHARGES THEIR FACULTY?

Should we tax those students who receive free lunch programs?

Should we start taxing the air we breath?

How about taxing us for the stars and moon we look at?

When will humans ever be free from the bondage our governments place upon us and take only a small portion of our incomes for the exact cost of programs we vote as required?

When will humanity no longer accept the minority that run our governments do not live up to their promises and are not serving the people, and by changing how and MOST IMPORTANTLY WHO RUNS GOVERNMENT TO SERVE IT'S PEOPLE?

When will the tax man no longer be the most feared threat in the 'civilized world' and what is deducted from our income is in direct proportion to what is actually needed (which a based accounting grad would calculate to be only between 8%-15% if everyone paid this amount without loopholes or 'special deductions'?

When will government no longer 'set it's people up for failure to be a risk of violating tax laws by making the annual filing of taxes a 'cops and robbers' scenario by exposing it's citizens to the voluminous thousands of pages of tax laws not even tax attorneys or the tax man itself has full grasp of?

Are we destined to continue this subservience and slavery in serving a government that does not serve it's people for ever?

Do we have to not only pay the tax man what it asks without questioning where the money they spend goes?

Do we have to now give them our freedom, privacy and dignity as humans, allowing them free reign over our lives?

Is there anyplace on Earth besides Antarctica that is warmer than 60f where humans can live free without molestation and threat of tyranny by government?

WILL HUMANS ALWAYS BE SLAVES?

If so, can we at least eliminate the morons like Prof. McMahon that accept their servitude and chose to 'teach instead of do', that now want the rest of the populous to be as miserable as he for his lack of motivation to succeed and put people of successful life experience in their place to teach us and our children?

Our future seems to be held in the limbo and choices of passing more laws that violate the very principle of being human building more prisons to house such violators, or create an educational system to promote free thinking of people that can find solutions to the challenges that face the very existence of humanity and our environment... before it is too late.

WHAT NEXT!? TAX THE FREE MEALS GIVEN TO HOMELESS CHILDREN?!

1. Taxing free meals to homeless... already doing that in US

2. Taxing drinking water...Already taxing

3. Taxing the air we breath... should we tax based on how many breaths a person takes per day or a flat tax?

What about those with big lungs? Do we charge Dolly Parton and Pamela Anderson more?

4. Taxing star gazing and looking at the moon... again...flat tax or use tax?

Elon Musk and Richard Branson are looking at the sky much too often and might be getting "visions of grandeur " of one day getting off this planet beyond the grasp of the tax man.... don't worry, we'll just increase taxes so we can build space craft to catch them, and tax them in space.

If this sounds silly, just ask anyone still living from after WWI what they thought about the introduction of that new concept called "Income Tax" as a temorary measure to rebuild the country after the war..
