“mw13, when you don’t pay taxes, you are also stealing from Jews.”
Huh? How?
“You are also stealing by using services provided by your tax money and not paying for them.”
Seeing as these services are also available to people who do not pay any taxes (legally), I am unconvinced paying taxes is necessarily a prerequisite for receiving government services.
“Honestly, its this thought process that is DESTROYING our generation.”
What, looking at things with a clear, halcahic view? Then I’ll be more than happy to see our generation “DESTROYED” any day.
“Theft is ok huh?”
Of course not. I never said it was. All I said was that not paying taxes is not halachicly theft, a point which you have yet to come up with an argument against.
“For every dollar in taxes you aren’t paying, you are stealing a % of that money from millions and millions of people, many of whom are frum.”
Again, how is not giving my money to the government stealing from millions of people?
“I’m pointing out that people rail so hard against one toeva but neglect another. Because one seems so foriegn to them (homosexuality) and the other is “not so bad.” Vomit.”
Who ever said that stealing is “not so bad”? Stealing is most definitely assur. And cheating on taxes is also assur, as I explained in my last comment. But cheating on taxes still isn’t stealing.
