1) so, you have a by Anonymous Citizen on March 10, 2007
problem with prisoners paying taxes???

you have NO problem with everyone ELSE paying taxes, why should prisoners get a 'special tax break'?

THEY owe the most to society, as they have violated the 'contract with society', and gotten themselves thrown in jail at our expense.

it's only fitting and proper that they should pay for their incarceration, as well as make total restitution to the victims of their crimes.

while they are at it, they should have to work a garden to grow some of the food that they consume.
