I provided a substantial reply as to why you're wrong about military impoundment in our other thread where you asked for citations. Instead you bypassed that, and start proselytizing about mockery after threatening my wife with a rapin

Oh no Ukraine is not equally corrupt as Russia, I mean as the USA.

Ceasing assistance is a bit different than providing assistance to the enemy. The US helped support Ukraine for several years. That was nice. Someone else can now redirect domestic resources to that cause. We've had our turn. The re

>It was through Trump's unilateral decision, which is illegal. The money was appropriated by our representatives from our tax dollars, and we want it to go. The President doesn't have the right under the Constitution and the la

Both right wing economists like Friedman and Mises, and left wing, understand initiating tariff wars against friendly neighbors is economically illiterate. No persons of educated thinking have anything fundamental to add. There is nothing

You appear to misunderstand our system. If you feel you're getting a raw deal, then you and your militia can renounce your citizenship, declare your independence and fend for yourself. Forego access to our banking system, our defense,

Funding for Ukraine has been stopped and it wasn't through my unilateral decision. So far I haven't been attacked by the US army or anything like that and my cell phone is still working. Somewhere in your calculation you are wron

What's interesting is every time I suggest American taxpayer mustn't pay for Ukraine, this is the rabbit hole those of your opinion seem to go down. What's more likely if aid stops to ukraine is that US taxpayers stop paying

Your mistake here is to believe that if something is public the alternative it must be privately funded by a single individual. I cannot pay engineers to design a car, but a bunch of people can get together and pay for it then me and other

I will not be salty. For reference, I have no police service, no fire service, no public roads where I live. Road access for miles and miles are private easements which works without taxes -- I first built my road with an axe and a shovel

>. For those of us who want to support Ukraine, why can't we choose to spend our tax dollars on that? This is what I'm proposing. Eliminate aid, that filters back into Americans not being forced to pay for it. Those who want

Unless the cost is zero the tax is paid, either directly, by inflation, or one of the two later to settle the debt. The fungibility of money means no special separate tax is assessed. Even under fiction I have seen claimed that these are a

It's not an analogy, it is a direct fact. Willfully underpayment of taxes can be punished with being tossed in a cage, enforced by armed agents. This should be first, front, and center concern before that gun is pointed at Americans t

Someone was coming to bail out France. I don't see a D day for Ukraine. If it is coming a European nation needs to step up right fuckin now and say it. If they lost (or break even, or occasionally even gain) a few hundred feet a day

It would come as no surprise if Russian intelligence has some juicy blackmail material.

If they are independent then they won't need to rely on being propped up by American taxpayers to survive. Because if they did, they'd be dependent not independent.

Federal gov spends about 24% of GDP. Meanwhile HN is constantly reminding us landlords are bleeding us dry at closer to 30% of income. Pre WW1 peacetime federal spending would be a godsend for working families.

Federal income tax was zero most of the time before 1913.

No nothing will 'solve' it, but it may attenuate it in some states. Although moving from size in early days to zero is your own strawman.

This is basically what happened during the covid low interest mania. Not realizing what had happened, in three years I went from "almost enough to buy a house in the city in cash" to "have to buy vacant rural wasteland then d

And now we're paying 10x the fraction of our gdp as the early non war days. The feds are bleeding us dry to line they and their corrupt friends pockets and their public debt.

Which is why we should be encouraging the kind of wealth generated by mutually beneficial transactions, and thanking God if such strategy lead to people generating 'hoards' of value.

Median personal has to be close to zero before redistribution payments, for all ages. It paints a pretty poor picture of what is possible. I met many uneducated immigrants on a fish processing boat in the Bering Sea making 10k a month, a j

I'm absolutely open to the idea that some people find more freedom with less liberties and more safety. There are plenty of nice things about Japan. Most Americans who are capable of moving to Japan do not, for one reason or another.

Ban on nukes is an infringement but not as egregious as the ones in Europe. In another comment I admit for instance Yemen and Idlib have a stronger right to bear arms than the US. I absolutely acknowledge this. US also has free speech issu

Cool so now free speech is reduced to anything not viewed as harassment. I think I will take your advice, that's dystopic and far worse than just your prior bullet points.

Well for one, Europe has a history of gassing disarmed people and those on registries, for two locking your gun up to pick someone up from the airport just presents an unnecessary opportunity for it to be stolen. Why is it a good thing to p
