The problem is, it is NOT clearly spelled out as party of "liberty" or "pursuit of happiness". Thus subject to interpretation. We can shout "it should be" all day. That doesn't make it so.
This is about morality plain and simple. What two people do in private should not be the governments business, compensated or not.
We won't solve the issue here, obviously, but boards like this are one place to start. Two parts in the Constitution that tell me State laws that criminalize consenting adults are:

Contract Clause: The clause prohibits a State from passing any law that “impairs the obligation of contracts."

4th Amendment: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated.

The income/cap gains and related taxes offend the hell out of me.
Yeah, I know I repeat it quite a bit.
But it just offends the hell out of me.
I ask for nothing but to keep what I earn.
You earn that in a country that provides security from today's marauding Huns, keeps SLOC open, provides/maintains highways, funds high risk/high leverage technology so companies can reap the benefits, etc., etc., but essentially you do not want to pay for those. At least not via those taxes--you would rather fund them in a way more advantageous to you. Or via magic.

We understand.

Automaticslim just sounds like a spoiled, selfish, millenial that doesn't give damn for anyone but his own wallet. Too bad, he will be stuck in spa land forever. No civi will ever put up with his attitude.

1) If we shut the borders there will be no marauding huns.
2) Nothing wrong with govt providing highways. And I think funding some tech is not so terrible.
3) What eats the fed tax dollars? Social programs and huge military budget. I would prefer to eliminate the first and decrease the 2nd. Also want to cut fed staff. Starting with IRS.
4) What eats State and Local tax dollars? Govt workforce with their salaries, pensions and benefits. Especially public school teachers and their unions. I would love to see huge cuts their as well.

Universal Sales tax would be OK with me.
Go with 10% and let the fed/states/local divvy it up.
Maybe a very low flat tax. Less than 5%.
So people keep 85% of what they earn. Like Hong Kong.
That would be reasonable to me.

Hahaha!
And here we go with the personal attacks!
You don't like my opinions, so you try to insult me.
Nice!
How old are you?

You keep, on and on. I really don't see anyone defending you. Things aren't perfect but this is the best country you could live in.

You have to pay taxes to let this country to be the best, whether you agree with everything or not. I had my own business and still do, I pay both the ememployer and employee tax for FICA which amounts to 15% with no deductions. Plus IR'S in top, quit you miniscule tax complaints. You have no idea about reality.

"Plus IR'S in top, quit you miniscule tax complaints. You have no idea about reality. "

I have had S-Corp for over 24 years.
Why do you keep making assumptions about me?
Also, I really do not notice or care if people "defend me".
Is the acceptance of others so important to you?
