Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

This government doesn't deserve our tax dollars. Theyve made it clear they're funneling as much as possible straight to the billionaires.
Just don't pay.
And what would that do?
They already run a deficit, so they'll run a bigger deficit. Printing money is a flat tax on everyone. So not paying taxes is just applying a flat tax on others.
Plus you get to go to jail and cost me money to support you there.
I'm all for effective protest, but this doesn't seem to be it.
(Stupid question) Why would they print more money instead of just having a higher deficit until congress increases taxes on the poor?
It's the same thing really. When they run a deficit, they're paying money to somebody, so that money enters circulation causing inflation.
