Tip money/pocket change.... and hand the inspector a $100.
When I travel internationally, because of the bulk and raised eyebrows if satchels full of cash, I will often buy rare stamps and stick them in my jacket wallet.
Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?
Numbers 21:6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Matthew 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Matthew 10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

That's silly.
An individual making $1.5m per year, charged an average income tax of 25% still takes home $1.125m, which is more than sufficient to provide for nearly anything. An individual making $15,000, on the other hand, would find a 25% tax rate leaving them only $11,250.
Yes, it seems unfair to charge the individual making more money more tax, but if enacted in a reasonable manner, it does shift the burden of taxation onto those most able to pay while also causing minimal impact to those already financially struggling.
The world itself is the will to power - and nothing else! And you yourself are the will to power - and nothing else!

Are you insane?
Just because some of use are blessed with a sustainable income does not mean it is fair. It cost more to make more. You drive a Toyota slant car, I drive a Maybach. My oil changes cost more than the purchase price of your yellow death mobile. Do you want to tax me so much I have to ride a bicycle?
I have to have a small fleet of airplanes. I have to be able to at any location on this flat earth on a moments notice, even a delay going through security could mean the jobs of hundreds of people if a deal is not made. Do you want to tax me out of ownership?
Many people depend on my acute business sense to maximize profits for the investors and those entitled to bonuses based on profits. If you liebrals over tax me, the trickle down effect will be devastating. Do you want to tax me so heavily that my employees do not get paid enough to afford to shop anywhere but Wal*Mart?
Christ has enabled me to make a lot of money to do His work. I spend millions every year doing transactions for God. Do you want me to short change baby Jesus?
Son, until you have a business degree and make something of your life, your baseless opinions just infuriate people.
Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

But rich people run the country! Why should they be punished just for being a success? You know what? It makes me mad as an itchy wasp when I see liberals complaining about rich people while when it's wealthy folks who run the businesses that hire EVERYBODY WHO WORKS. It makes me wonder if liberals even think at all about what happens when they make it such an enormous tax penalty to be successful that NO ONE wants to open a business anymore. Then the government can run all the businesses right? Commies make me sick.
The government should take the same out of EVERYBODIES paycheck. $200 from a guy making $500 a week is the same as $200 taken from a guy who makes $3000 a week or $10000 a week. $200 is still $200 and still buys the same amount of stuff at Walmart no matter if it comes from Bill Gates wallet or from a janitors pocket. Punishing the successful with huge taxes is un-American.
God bless America, the Second Amendment and the Constitution. God bless the United States Marine Corps and all who fight for Jesus in third world cess pools. God bless the GOP and all they stand for, Truth, Honesty and the American people. God bless Landover Baptist Church and all True Christians™ the world over. Curses to our Muslim President, his failure is our Salvation.

When you think about it, it's disgusting that the slovenly poor laze about on their rear ends all day, and then roll over every once in a while and suck hard on the Big Government teat.
"Where's my disability check?" "I want more Social Security!!!" "Gimme my food stamps!!!" "I deserve police protection!" "The ancient run-down elementary school needs lead paint abatement!!" The poor know they have a sweet deal in Obama's nanny-state, and they're milking that Big Government teat for all it's worth!!
To tell you the truth, I'm getting sick of their laziness, greed, and expectations of fairness. It would almost be worth it to me to have the Bush tax cuts expire, just so I could laugh as American business grinds to a complete halt. Those tax cuts for the ultra wealthy made the American lower classes the second most prosperous poor people in the Western Hemisphere.

They sure are, Brother!
When are these Tea Partiers going to make with a little consistency and give up on their "gimme gimme gimme" ways? Most of them are retirees happy to suckle at Obama's two swollen welfare nipples: Social Security and Medicare.
"Oh, I didn't bother to save anything for retirement because I thought the Social Security Welfare Ponzi Scheme would provide for me!"
"I have $2M saved up in the bank, but I still want my welfare (Social Security) check, and don't you tax me on it! That's MY SHARE of SOMEONE ELSE'S MONEY!"
"I don't care that FICA taxes will have to balloon to keep my Social Security and Medicare welfare benefits paid because there are more retirees than workers. So what? GIMME GIMME GIMME, and don't give any welfare to those poor younger people who can't find jobs, they need to learn a little PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY!"
Brother, will you join me in campaigning to terminate Social Security and Medicare in the name of true fiscal conservatism?
Bible boring? Nonsense!
Try Bible in a Year with Brother V, or join Shirlee and the kids as they discuss Real Bible Stories!
You can't be a Christian if you don't know God's Word!

It is clear that progressive taxes is sin, and take the land far from the Lap of Jesus
Just look the example: Sweden, and Finland. Taxes are very progressive and social welfare is on high level.
Luke 18:24-25 tells us how bad it is to the poor, if the society gives them money and stuff: They lose the Kingdom of God!
