@pornelski But I'm the one who has to comply with the tax! If _you_ had to file and pay the tax, that'd be just fine.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@pornelski The fact that I'm forced to file your taxes for you _and_ not have any representation in the body that controls it is not OK.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@cmuratori You're not paying for representation. It's cost of doing business with me. My employer files my employment taxes for me too.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@pornelski Filing taxes with a foreign government is kind of the definition of taxation without representation.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@pornelski In my mind, you should never have to file things with a government that you don't have a say in. It's very undemocratic.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@cmuratori You don't get representation for inconvenience of doing paperwork and sending money that isn't yours, sorry.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@pornelski What does that even mean? Money isn't "someone's". That money you're paying isn't yours, either! It was your employers.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@pornelski Taxes _are the governments money_, nobody owns the money that pays them. The tax is _on the person who files it_, period.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@pornelski Talking about "whose money it is" doesn't make any sense because the money is passed from company to person to company, etc.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
@pornelski Taxes are about control, and the control is over the person who has to act to comply with the tax. That's a fundamental truth.
