Comments on: She Had a Yen Not To Pay Tax? http://www.taxgirl.com/she-had-a-yen-not-to-pay-tax/ Paying taxes is painful... but reading about them shouldn't be.

Interesting logic. I wonder if she still expects the police to show up if her home is burglarized. Or the fire department to arrive promptly to extinguish her burning dwelling. I wonder how she'd feel if the Tokyo city government decided that it was "unfair" to maintain the roads just so everyone could drive on them. It seems most of the people trying to get out of paying taxes are the very folks who'd perish first if civilization sort of ran out of money. "Taxes: the price you pay for not living in a cave and eating carrion." PS perhaps that could go on a t-shirt, taxgirl... “She apparently felt that paying tax on the gains were unfair…” Interesting logic.
