Evolution has been debated for over 100 years, but only the pro-evolution views are being upvoted here. Is that because the treatment here is not fair, or the truth is not "unbiased"? Only one can be true, right?

My problem is that the prebate checks are not big enough. The tax should be 45% (or whatever necessary to balance the budget), and the prebate should be 8x what the Fair Tax people are currently proposing. It'll then be a UBI, sufficient for a person to live above the poverty line without working.

Also, I'd link the tax to last year's budget. There'd never be another deficit. The tax will go up or down 1% or whatever to make the lines always match.

Could easily use the PT Cruiser example. The rear seats fold flat so it could be sold as a "truck". Yes, the Dodge Neon Hearse is a truck, not a car. Because Chrysler was dodging CAFE.

Wait, wouldn't getting paid millions for failing itself be a success? You've never been offered such a contract.

If that were true, they'd be for programs like Head Start, where every $1 spend saves more than that in future costs the Libertarian approves of (like prisons and police). Head Start is a reasonable program for a "small government". Instead the Libertarians are spiteful racists. They want to make sure nobody else gets an opportunity by rigging the game and eliminating all help for others.

In that sense, Bush Jr. was the ultimate Libertarian. He used affirmative action to get into Yale, but would like to end Affirmative Action (he got in under "legacy" where who your daddy is counts for admissions, but wants to eliminate AA, where who your daddy is counts for admissions). That's the real ideal of Libertarian. An actual libertarian would want open borders. Less government regulation. If there's a cost to that, then charge the entrants for coming here - service based fees. But the US-Libertarians want closed borders and large government securing them. That's no libertarian. That's a new brand of conservative that's labeled neo-liberal outside the US.

Yes, most of the services are not available here either - and I'm less than a mile from Philly, so it isn't about being out in the boondocks.

My belief is that it's an unconscious belief. They act as if they believe it, but when confronted, they say things like "if you cut taxes, people will give more." and "nobody will go without, you are making false assumptions."

Because they are unwilling to think about the reasoning that must exist for their position to be valid. Though, the prisons are becoming debtor's prisons. Deadbeat dads can't declare bankruptcy to get out of child support, but if they go to prison, they never have to pay a dime. Same with student loans, and other debts that can't be discharged. Also, health care is free in prison.

People aren't sent there for being in debt, but they end up making choices that land them there because of debt. Interesting that the Libertarian is against spending $0.50 of preventative care to stop $10 in enforcement costs. That's why I think Libertarians are as much big-government as the two main parties, it's just all military and police. If they were actually small government, they'd be for Head Start and other programs that increase tax revenue and reduce prison and enforcement costs. But they aren't. Don't ask them why, or they get angry. Just like the people you question who want poor people to die to decrease the surplus population.

It's never an issue. Those for gun control don't think they need to change the Constitution, and those against never offer it up as a gauge of public opinion on the matter.

Ooops. I'm not a contractor - that was meant to say "ASK a contractor...".

It's better at extortion than at unbiased advice.

As a contractor for the Angie's List literature that they send professionals. It is really slimy.

The two I already gave are enough. They are fiscally "liberal" because they don't match spending to income.

They are "liberal" in that they want to change laws to restrict freedom.

Yeah. Gun control. If you want gun control, the first step should be to change the Constitution, not passing laws that are "bad" and fighting in court to justify them.

I left out one. If you think the government has rights, you are fascist.

Bad guys. You have to wonder how many foreign gov Astroturf here.

Then just tell the MPs that they will want civilians jobs as well.

And all use the same model of battery pack? Jesus Fucking Christ, they made Formula E the as little appealing to nerds as the possibly could. And let's be honest, nerds/tech-heads would have been their PRIMARY audience!

Methinks a product/marketing manager got paid for a shitty job.
