Man who believes taxes are theft and is an activist in that regard is under investigation for stealing a $70 chair from office depot. Sure he might have stolen a chair here but the real THEFT is the taxes he had to pay on the printers he purchased.

Anti-tax activist Tim Eyman is under investigation in the theft of a $70 office chair from the entryway of a Lacey Office Depot on Wednesday.

Lacey Police referred the allegation to prosecutors for a possible misdemeanor theft charge after Office Depot employees noticed the chair was missing, reviewed surveillance video, recognized Eyman and called the police.

In the video, Eyman, wearing a bright red shirt saying “Let The Voters Decide,” can be seen circling around the store’s lobby, peering in various directions. He walks through the store’s anti-theft devices into the vestibule and sits in a rolling office chair that was displayed there. He reclines, spins around three times and then stands up and wheels the chair out of the store.

About a minute later, Eyman returned to the store, where he printed and scanned some documents, exchanged a printer and bought two new ones for $249, according to the police report.

Someone else on your accounts? You said my argument was embarrassing and selected from a sentence arguing against paying more taxes.

He's right though, in that your point there was about people getting less on a tax return (i.e. a REFUND), and not about the total amount of taxes actually taken (i.e. WITHHOLDING during the year). There is a difference, and the tax return argument is being used to paint the change as an increase in taxes in general, when it's not the case for most people.

My sentence isn't a fucking Chinese buffet where you get to pick one thing and ignore the other.

People like you are getting less on their tax returns than ever, people like me paying more than ever.


Just another case of a libertarian refusing to describe reality as it actually exists.
