    Can we have the "Dicky is a rapist" and "I'm a mighty rail-splittin' man!! :alpha:" conversations split out into another thread so this can just be memes again?

    Actually, I'm hoping, despite both Republicans and Democrats being against it, that anti-corruption laws will pass. After that ...., then maybe I can go back to ignoring politics altogether.

    It's that, or dictatorship.
    :shrug:

    Unless you wanna let me be Borg King, then you won't notice it's dictatorship, cuz you'd be made to actually enjoy it.
    Hell, as Borg King, I'd let everyone into Unimatrix Zero.
    How you gonna get a better fucking deal than that?

    According to the GOP, taxing the wealthy deters job creation.

    Of course, that's a load of horseshit too.

    LOL, if they could still define blacks as not actual people, most so-called Libertarians would probably be whipping one whilst slurping a mint julep.

    I'll say it yet again.
    There's as much liberty in Libertarianism as there is science in Scientology.

    ^^^This.

    The "labor theory of value" is part of a larger, diseased mentality to which I do not subscribe.

    I notice that @Lanzman, whom I believe owes his entire financial stability to the fact that taxpayers paid his freight, has yet to respond to my question.

    So Lanz, did you or did you not spend your career working for the government and now live on a government pension?

    Or would you rather post more empty memes that will get you some nice rep from intellectual giants like Federal Farmer, Ghost Echo and Uncle Albert?

    Lanzman had explained many times that his cushy government job and pension are allegedly authorized by the Constitution, so he's exempt from having to justify his obvious hypocrisy. Marso too. :async:

    Here's a funny story.

    I picked up James and ask how his weekend was and how was school today. He tells me about two separate papers he had to turn in, both ending with rants against corporations. and I was like .... "I don't even know who's child you are."

    So, I told him, I had a similar discussion relating to hard work and that I didn't think typing on a keyboard was hard work and that even if it was, getting a better paying job or promotion was due more to charming the interviewer than the actual work I do - and that I am anything but charming. and after a long pause, he was like "well, you can be a bit confrontational ...."

    The pigfuckingly stupid implication here being either a) he didn't earn it, or b) any payment from tax money justifies all payment from tax money.

    I can't argue with proposition A, as I have no reason to believe @Lanzman doesn't work hard. However, Proposition B still strikes me as being in stark opposition to the principal tenets of libertarianism. You and I may disagree as to which payments from tax money are legitimate (and I'm sure we do), but if you're going to be a consistent libertarian, it's hard to imagine a situation in which any government function derived from tax payments are legitimate. If libertarians start picking and choosing which tax payments are fair game, where does it end? Not anywhere near true libertarianism, I would think.

    Although I must admit, I do enjoy the adjective 'pigfuckingly.'

    You could always stop collecting taxes, or collect them in the form of usage fees under the strict requirement that they be spend supporting the services purchased with those fees. Even then, if it's not automated, you're gonna need workers.

    It's funny how other countries, all over the world, manage to simultaneously provide universal health care for their citizens and have a lot fewer cops who get off on beating up and tear-gassing civilians.

    It's almost as if doing one does not automatically lead to the other.
