OK to cheat on taxes?

[SmarterthanYou]

Situational morality? lol

good for the goose, good for the gander. so they say.

 

[SmarterthanYou]

So the police are justified in lying because DY chooses to, and he chooses to because the police do.

Circular logic?

circular, yes. but you have it all backwards. as usual.

we are justified in lying to the gov agents, because the courts have specifically stated that we can't, yet the gov can to us.

If your own ethics and morality is dependent on the situation, then it is situational morality. What is moral and ethical is moral and ethical regardless of what someone else does or has done.

Lying to a liar is still lying. Cheating a cheater is still cheating.

What about injuring an assailant or shooting dead an attacker?

 

[SmarterthanYou]

Since you say it's OK to cheat on your taxes, I guess you won't be posting any complaints about the deficit, then.

the deficit is hardly due to anyone in my paygrade cheating on taxes. to even intimate that it is, is total bullshit.

 

[SmarterthanYou]

You said 'sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander'. Doesn't that mean everyone, regardless of income, is entitled to cheat the government?

that was actually a more directed reply about the government being allowed to lie to you.

good for the goose, good for the gander. so they say.

Yep, that is what they say. But it does not make lying or cheating a moral or ethical act.

 

[WinterBorn]

What about injuring an assailant or shooting dead an attacker?

In those cases, you weigh which greater immoral or unethical act, to harm someone or to allow someone to be harmed by your inaction. It does not make killing someone a moral act, but it does mean you did what was right.

 

[SmarterthanYou]

Yep, that is what they say. But it does not make lying or cheating a moral or ethical act.

one has no obligation to reciprocate treachery with honesty.

I'd be interested in seeing some evidence that people who cheat on their taxes are "usually" punished with "an armed IRS team busting down your doors with automatic weapons wanting to kill you and your family".

No one is obligated to be honest at all. I am simply saying that someone else being dishonest does not make your dishonesty moral, ethical or honest.

You are either behaving ethically or you are not. Now, if you choose to behave in an unethical or immoral manner (for whatever reason), that is your choice.
But don't try and say it is anything but lying or cheating. Like my grandfather used to say "You can roll a cat in flour and stick him in the oven, but what comes out won't be a biscuit."

I love the way Blowjob is trying to make a connection between wealthy people and tax evasion, and particularly, small business tax cheats as a percentage of the whole..... Someone might need to inform him, about half of America doesn't pay ANY tax. It's fucking hard to cheat when you haven't paid anything to begin with, isn't it? It's pretty much inevitable, there will be more tax cheating going on by people who pay taxes, than those who don't. So we can take this as just another senseless attack on small businesses, who create 90% of the jobs in America. Wow... it seems like libtards would figure out why the jobs aren't coming back?

Tell me, Trix. Do you have a big X on your avitar because you don't know how to spell America?

2 documented instances = "usually"? I also noticed a lack of a stated desire to kill people and their families. Want to try again?

yeah, i knew this wouldn't satisfy you. idiots like you always want evidence, then when given, you call them 'isolated' instances and try to say it's not 'usually'. keep licking the jackboots, statist.

 

[SmarterthanYou]

2 = usually....LOL

no, i just posted 3 off the first google search page. if you wanted two dozen pieces of evidence, you should have said so, but i'm guessing that you'd then pull out of your ass the number of agents and number of taxpayers, then divide by zero or some shit. go join taichiidiot on the bench.

 

[SmarterthanYou]

So, "usually" means 3?

I also didn't see any evidence of "an armed IRS team busting down your doors with automatic weapons wanting to kill".

Why is that?

because you refuse to remove your progressive blinders.

 

[Guns Guns Guns]

considering that the cost of getting caught cheating on your taxes is usually an armed IRS team busting down your doors with automatic weapons wanting to kill you and your family, I don't think it's worth it. Of course, the raiding team is only if you're one of the mundanes and not one of the elites.

You mean you have evidence of the above that's invisible?

So when will Goldman Sachs be brought to task for the major fraud they enacted on the world economy? Bernie Madoff and Kenneth Lay were prosecuted for much less than the crimes perpetuated by Lloyd Blankfein et al.
