Received a Bill for State Tax on An Amp Bought in Canada Last Year

Frank, 

All great and some, funny points except for #1. It was Reagan who started the ball rolling.

As for my take, establish a living wage, which would free up the taxes we pay in food services and housing assistance and stop subsidizing the employers who are making bank off of this racket.

Pay some form of child support/assistance to working families so they can afford decent child care since both parents need to work to make ends meet. Other countries have been doing this since, forever, and have the stats to back up the benefits from doing so. 

As for "printing" money, how come I heard no one bring that up with the last, unfunded, 2 trillion dollar tax giveaway to those that didn't need or warrant it? 

All the best,

So my answer with the apology (for reading too quickly) and in which I admitted it, while still pointing out your sidetracking of matters gets deleted?

Nothing untoward or offensive in the least in that post. What a piece or work you are. Did you do some quick research on your state and saw how bad things are there and that's why you won't tell me what state you reside in?

pauly, did you do that to make yourself look even better? 
Do you think leaving everything else up achieves that?

Are you sportin' wood for getting to use the word puerile in a sentence?
You're still wrong about the matter of California's success and your blowing the homeless situation way out of proportion as a means to attack the state.

All the best,

And your solutions are what, exactly

Progressives have solutions. They just have no way to pay for it other than taking it from those that have some $$$. Then at some point, after they have the tax high enough to destroy incentives, businesses and the morale of the people, the govt confiscates everything just to pay the elites at the top. Marxism/Socialism/Collectivism/Communism promises a lot and gives little except destruction of everything it touches

Progressives have nothing. First of all there are no progressives. There are only Marxists, and other variations on communism. Progressive is the term they thought would work here in the US. But the same tired old ideas never will work, no matter whether called progressive or even liberal.  

These terms are all either specific to their classical definitions, or else useless. But by their classical definitions conservatives want to conserve the status quo, which at the time was a royal monarchy in Great Britain. Liberal literally means free, so the Founders were liberal. Today, those who still cling to the Constitution are called conservative because they seek to conserve that which the liberal Founders gave us.

I'm taking time to explain all this to expose the lie behind the word progressive. There is nothing progressive about it. You seek to regress back to an old discredited system where one elite group of technocrats holds power and wields it over all the rest of us common folk. 

Progressives have no solutions, unless you want to count the hundreds of millions of bodies and call it like they actually did, the final solution. But you want to delude yourself into thinking it is the conservatives who want this.

Nothing could be further from the truth. What are the conservative ideals, besides those enshrined in the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution? Adam Smith's invisible hand. Mises hard money currency. A people who hold inalienable rights granted by Almighty God. Local government with almost no power beyond administering a legal system. Local government doesn't even provide police. That is the job of elected Sheriffs. Federal government has even fewer powers, primarily the conduct of national defense and trade among nations.

What is sad beyond words is how rare these once universally known concepts are today. 

Look under your beds everyone!
The commies are-a-comin'!

To read MC's take on classic projection (all the time) has gotten me to think he's actually here to recruit followers. Lord knows, there's been some who come a runnin any time he blows his horn.

Recently, the FBI put out an advisory to parents with kids who are into online gaming and it was scary. You see, people like MC hang out on those gaming sites and get to know the kids, pretending to be one of them.

Every so often they drop a racial slur or invective or some sexually snide remark and then gauge the reaction. They play it safe and continue to amp things up until they get the desired responses.

Then they PM the kids who react like likely candidates and get them to meet them on another site. They compliment and praise them for how smart they are and it all goes deeper into the alt right rabbit hole. 

From the responses they got, it's quite successful. I bring this up because MC doesn't just rant, he puts out a manifesto of sorts with all the recruiting points neatly laid out. This stuff is very similar to what the feds see online. I've read some of it and this is too close for comfort.

Now it may all be that he's just mimicking what he reads online but if anyone has been PM'd by him on matters like this and got the pitch, I'd be very careful of your next step.

All the best,
Nonoise
