Uh, yeah, it does. Same attitude about the blacks - they were getting special treatment from the government at the expense of the whites. Same thing - poor you suffers tremendously because you think they are getting special treatment. What you fail to understand is that the religious freedoms they enjoy are available to EVERYONE, and if you start taking theirs, yours are next.

They do pay taxes when they buy stuff.

I thought the point of Lady Justice having a blindfold was to treat all citizen the same. Now, we are judged by what group we belong too.

You have repeatedly said you are actively trying to push them out of your community. "It's time to stop it." could be a construed as a threat.

I just really honestly don't think you realize how you sound to others.

Bull. Your wheel tax is not thousands of dollars. And even if it was - you are driving a car on the roads. And YES, they are held to the same lawful standards - they just don't DRIVE CARS so the laws don't affect them.

LOL math wiz! If all the people paid to take care of the roads, O4's and everyone other tax payer wouldn't be paying those thousands of dollars in taxes, taxes that are collected for car registration, county taxes, R/E taxes, etc, etc. And they use the roads so they should help pay to upkeep them. The tax laws need updating.

They take advantage. And use extreme religious use to skirt laws. Not buying it. Progress is a god thing. THEY need to adapt, or else just stay away from the rest of the world. That would be OK with me too...

I don't disagree. But it is hardly their fault the government doesn't tax them. And Ohfour would be paying wheel tax regardless.

Depends on the sales tax law in the state. If the income taxes were done away with, all items would be taxed, more items than currently are. Then the taxes would be more equitable.

New laws are stopping them. And I will support every single one that holds them responsible.

Wow, yeah. Hate filled KKK speech right there. Just keep those blacks away from me. God forbid you let them near your children.

That would be fine by me, too.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

This thread is eye opening and saddening.

Ohfour · Hooker

Whatever...y'all know me. I just don't put up with BS and call it when I see it. They are taking advantage of the system. At least the ones I have had dealings with. It may be different in KY, but do not contribute in the way that other citizens do. And they need to...

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

I know tons of non Amish people who abuse the system, sponge off it, and don't pay taxes into it.

Ohfour · Hooker

Agree, but this isn't about them. Its about the Amish. To call them out doesn't mean I'm not angry with other people too. Just responding to the topic...

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

Come to my neighborhood. No Amish. A ton of government leeches. And they steal what the government won't give them. And drive around in cars with no insurance. And bring drugs into the schools and get 12 year olds to be transporters.

Well, that's okay. They're not Amish.

Yes, I do. And I know you have a good heart, which is why this is so shocking and disturbing to me. Harboring all this hate and animosity is not good for your heart.
