Bankruptcy and Reorganization for Detroit?

Arson is a crime against someone elses property. Very similar to
the legalized theft that the government acts in, in that it's the
taking or destruction of someone elses property.

Running a red light puts others at harm.

I'll take that as a "Yeah, I guess it is theft, because I have no
other answer!"

Thanks!

 

The 9th amendment clearly takes care of state's right. The 2nd is
clearly for individuals as well, hence the phrase "the right of
the people to keep and bear Arms".

 

Sounds like some common sense is prevailing in Florida!

If there's one thing that consistent about government agencies is
that they ALWAYS have excesses and waste that can be cut.

No, it's more than 32k.

So what. It's offset from the free money they're mailed each year
because of the AMT.

 

The debt doubled by having wars on credit and corporate

Only a completely statist would say all $3 trillion that the US
Federal government spends each year is "essential".

Back to reality, it's not really my opinion. Do you remember 1995?
Hell, the government admitted to it in 1995 during the so-called
"government shutdown". They even labeled it as "shutting down non-
essential services".

Anyway, the "essential" services are clearly labeled in the
Constitution. Feel free to point out where it says things like
"EPA", "NASA", "HUD", etc.

 

BS. We can change our tax structure any time we want. If the imports want to
be more competitive, they can get _their_ governments to not lay corporate
taxes on their industries.

 

Hey, the rest of the world paying their auto workers poverty wages is an
illegal subsidy of their industries, the way I see it.

 

So we should have just stayed out of WWII?

 

Which is why I included the words "I will leave it to you to determine
if the taxation that our government does is authorized by the
Constitution, but...". I was way ahead of you.

 

We should never have gotten into it on the front end. It was partly
our fault we got into it on the back end.

When one looks at it objectively, it was partly American
industrialist's sales of goods to Germany that enabled their
aggression. For certain, it is possible that they might have gotten
material from somewhere else.

Once the monster arose there, we still stalled. Those same people
that supplied the Germans with material supplied ships and war
material to Britain.

It was Pearl Harbor that galvanized the US effort against the Axis.
In that effort, the same people that supplied the Germans, and the
British supplied the Allied forces.

Win, Win, Win!

War is a racket!

The USA did far too long, until attacked at Hawaii.
Many other countries helped their friends when Hitler attacked.

BTW Iraq didn't attack the USA at Gulf War II time and was never
involved in 9/11, but by now most USA people realize the garbage they
were fed on 9/11.

 

I don't remember being fed anything about Iraq being involved in 9/11,
but revisionist history seems to say that I was. I remember when people
first started saying that we were told that, and I thought to myself
"WTF!" But they were involved in the OK City bombing (read "The Third
Terrorist" by Jayna Davis).

 

There were many attempts to link iraq with 9-11 via various chains like
so-so and went to iraq and he knew so and so who was one of the 19....
it was pretty thin and wouldn't have an effect on anyone with half a
brain. However the moron masses are another story.

the link to Iraq with OK city as I recall tends to point to Iraqis the
US government brought into the country after gulf war I. Who was behind
them is unclear.

 

Nope. The Bush administration talked about 9/11 and said that Saddam
funded terrorism (which indeed he did), but they never came out and
said he was involved in 9/11.

 

That was my recollection too.

 

Well.... the logical consequence of globalisation in the long term would indeed tend
towards parity of wages.

They aren't poverty wages in their own countries of course.

It would tend toward poverty wages, more likely.

Well, they may not exactly be starving (maybe), but... its not likely they have
a Mitsubishi Laservue in the living room, maybe not even air conditioning. That
latter thing is something I think we should try to avoid here.

 

Air conditioning?

 

Yeah, air conditioning, as in not having it. That would seriously suck here in
Virginia. It would suck worse, the farther south of Virgina you get.

 

Ahh - OK - I thought you were saying we should avoid having a.c. I'm in
VA too - yes - humidity, but not as bad as SC, GA, and FL.
