    Who's angry? Of course I don't identify as the "right" necessarily. In modern parlance, that carries too much baggage. I'm just opposed to any statist. Oh, and I doubt he's in many if any on the board's class here unless there's some filthy rich folks who like to slum.

    I used to wish America would strive to be a classless society, where there were just people and some were wealthier than others but everybody got by alright. I don't know if I accidentally wished for this on a monkey's paw or what, but we certainly are a classless society in many ways, now.

    I don't think income tax is thief.

    I do think that federal government is outside of its banks and has been for quite a while. I'm fine with your socialist stuff at state levels, if they want to fund it.

    Social security and Medicare are two poorly ran programs that need an overhaul.


    Government is force. That's why I'm for the least amount possible and the maximum amount of liberty possible. There's no utopia, so any government is going to have force.

    However socialist governments requires more force than a capitalist one that respects individual liberty. They're trading liberties for security which will lead to less of both overtime.

    That doesn't mean that they can't work but it takes a special circumstances with populations that are pretty homogeneous and not much diversity.

    I'd argue that what you hold up as less government force is really more might makes right force among enterprise and the public.

    Enterprise and public exchange is voluntary.

    Socialism is the very definition of might makes right.

    It's no more voluntary. And now you are making a circular argument.

    I don't see how anyone could argue against that, regardless of political leaning

    yet they, along with the military, are the sacrosanct items on the budget that no one talks about, ever.

    In case anyone was wondering how my uber distant cousin was doing these days, this was his most recent post:

    Glad he had Jesus to help him through this trying time. He must feel like Peter in the roman prison.

    What does one have to do to get banned from Facebook?

    I have tried to figure it out. I'm sure the offensive post was removed, so that's not going to be there for reference. His posts aren't any worse than some others. Probably shared a pic of 911 or Michelle Obama being a man or Barack being a Muslim or some other fact that the Facebook doesn't like getting out.

    I think post anything related to our right to bear arms or how great Trump is.


    Oh, yeah, post something about 9/11

    Well that clearly isn't getting anyone banned, judging from my feed.

    This. Why can’t it be agreed to be exactly this?

    If you want the government to set a tax rate where they can pay for everything for everyone, find a state who is willing to do so, and move there.
