    Paying taxes

    I just realized today that the only thing that has no tax is the air we breathe. We pay tax for driving in highways, we pay tax for eating food (from cooking or in restaurants), we even pay for the water we use when we use the restrooms. What else don't have tax?

    Sunshine is not taxed, nor is milk.

    Sorry, EPA, you are paying to (hopefully) keep things out of it that you don't want to breathe.....and you do pay a premium to live in ideal climate regions (think southern California) which of course leads to higher property taxes (perhaps a 'Sunshine' tax)....

    I think with air there still are taxes that kick in when you stop using (breathing) it (air).

    There are still a good number of death and property taxes. There might not be a tax to breath. . . Stop doing it and the Buggers will get you!

    If one stops breathing, then you may not be paying taxes but your relatives will. They will have to pay for the tax for the coffin, the burial site, the jar(for cremation), and the funeral services they will have to give.... At hospitals we pay tax for oxygen...

    Not always the relatives. The taxman is often found to be taking a fistful of cash before the poor dead buggers bank accounts gets handed over to the next of kin.

    The shame is, the government wastes most of the tax income. Most dead people never speak up about taxes, and even more dead people would still be among the living if the government wasted less, on crap.

    I myself will continue to breath air (with two fingers pointed upwards to any that object) . . send me the Bill..

    death and taxes. The only two permanent thing in this world. The only way to not pay tax is be dead.

    ...and even then if it takes a long time to dispose of the assets in your estate, ie. contested will, etc. any real estate in the estate will continue to have property taxes assessed against it.
