US Treasury Secretary, Janet Yellen, suggests imposing a tax on unrealized capital gains. This means stock gains will be taxed even when they have not been sold. It also means that taxes will be owed when the value of a home appreciates, even though it has not been sold.

Libertarians have voted - and always will vote - with the GOP, to line their pockets with taxpayer's money while borrowing from China for their tax breaks. It's unforgivable. Libertarians are worse than the GOP because they focus on doing absolutely nothing for the taxpayers. At least the GOP lie about what they'll do to help the common man, invite businesses to their states, keep wages down, bust unions, allow corporations to poison the drinking water, kill off education funding, and the rest of it. The GOP try to talk the 99% into thinking they want this level of torture. Libertarians are famous for following the GOP on everything, and abandoning their voters. Infrastructure and the rest of it crumble to nothing under Libertarians. It's the most selfish, anti-Democratic, childish ideology that works for no one, not even for the Libertarians. It's an insane purpose of a party that will ONLY help the GOP get richer. Just read up on the bootlicking by Rand Paul at the feed of McConnell. Also read this: https://washingtonmonthly.com/magazine/september-october-2020/libertarians-took-control-of-this-small-town-it-didnt-end-well . I could go on, but I suspect I've already annoyed you and it won't matter what else I write. Re-think your what your tax dollars to do, I would argue.

libertarians are anarchists who haven't thought things thru

They're degenerate anarchists complaining about taxes while still holding US privileges.

jesus would say pay to caesar right?

[–]Jesus 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (4 children)

He would have, yed. Though the Judahites tried to trip him up at that time to get him to admit thet he advocated for his Apostles to not pay taxes (when he didn't) which is what most of the wealthy Judahite Pharisees, that Jesus rebuked, did anyway, not pay a tax.

His was a spiritual journey of brotherhood and helping the lowly find faith. To love one another in charity when in need is to please Our Creator.

Why advocate not paying taxes? It would have stopped his mission.

Caesar, when he proclaimed he was God, was the time where Jesus's disciples refused to believe it so, and when Polycarp and hundreds of others paid the umtimate price in humble faith.

If you understand now, those who do not pay their taxes usually end up in prison, it is many times the wealthy who do so, you can understand that Jesus did not want to get CAUGHT UP on wordly affairs that BELONGED TO CEASAR. If Ceasar's face is on that coin, it belongs to him, just as debt backed bank credits do now in the US, which are backed by the false faith of in the people who took the bonds.

Jesus knew just how to relinquish contracts with the state and it involved brotherhood and putting all your faith in God. For woe unto the lawyers who take away the key of knowledge.

I've posted an article awhile back on how to legally relinquish contract with US inc., and the state. It is a hard living, however.

But...
Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God.

my view actually is that was added by romans who wanted jews to pay taxes later, jesus never said that, wouldn't have made sense, he never would have became popular or had a following from mostly poor farmers if he advocated paying the huge unfair taxes the riomans levied. Jesus was a precurser to the zealots who did eventually rid Jerusalem of the Romans although that lasted only 4 glorious years.

Your forgetting that he never said that. He never said to or not to pay taxes. He simply aksed whose face was on it. One is free to create his own money and barter. Nevertheless, this wasn't what Jesus' mission was.

jesus spoke in parables, it was clear what he meant by that, or what the romans that wrote it later meant.
