kelpdiver 2 #28 August 8, 2011 QuoteQuoteQuote Take a good long look at Detroit. Get used to the view. Detroit is coming to you. Detroit is a good example of what liberals can do to a society, IMO. It doesn't have to get there, but the government needs to emphasize personal responsibility and stop punishing those that exhibit it. CA is an example of this at the state level the difference is that people keep moving to California, and it's hard to imagine living somewhere else in the country. By itself it's still top 7 or 8 in the world for GDP, even after the military largely pulled out during the Peace Dividend. CA is an example of what happens when short sided voters put in term limits. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lurch 0 #29 August 8, 2011 Scoob. I hope you're right about the SCOTUS. It will hold them back awhile longer. But it won't stop em. They'll just reshape it a little to satisfy technicalities and a need for "compromise". Said compromise to consist of negotiations of the exact terms and conditions of the sale of human beings to insurance companies by their governments. They will tell us we are still free, because we are still permitted to choose which insurance company. And they will just try again and again until something sticks. The real damage was done when such an amazingly unthinkable option made it onto the table for consideration or discussion at all. I kinda hope it DOES stand. I hope it winds up forcing millions of americans to choose between food shoes and obediently purchasing their mandatory insurance. Maybe the resulting destruction will teach the political classes to think twice.Live and learn... or die, and teach by example. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If there aren't enough to tax I doubt there are going to be enough to eat, especially if everyone has to get a share. Gotta hoard them in advance.

rehmwa 2 #34 August 9, 2011 Quote Quote There are not enough Rich to tax Doesn't mean we can't eat them! It's really easy. First we borrow the money and give enough to a bunch of people to make them rich. Now we have a LOT more rich people to tax. We use those taxes to pay it all off and maybe add a few necessary programs. ...
