- vorpalhex 11mo agoBombing people for more tax revenue seems like the wrong thing.
- sam_lowry_ 11mo agoNot bombing, a threat would suffice.
- vorpalhex 11mo agoSo we should bully people for tax revenue? And when some of those people say no? That seems like either a short lived con or very quickly we are bombing people. Why not just literally put a gun to someones head and rob them then? Skip the middlemen. Bombs are expensive as is jet fuel.
