so you want to tax me over and over on something i already paid you on? no thanks

I recall reading about a start that is nothing but a literal giant diamond. That would be pretty cool

the fact that you even think that, is the problem with this country today. regardless of their reasons for wearing the shirts, no one should be able to tell them no. and if anyone is offended by it, too bad, you dont have the right to come here, celebrate the holidays of another country, and be outraged by people who love this country

as a former lower-middle-class 20-something liberal, Pretty much. We dont know enough and we buy into the touchy feely emotion based logic. then we grow up

so one is a choice and one is a disease?

its not hard to understand. people simply are twisting what is going on to instill more hatred towards the right. its kinda funny if it wasnt so sad how they want to force X to not hate...by using hate?

but why should anyone but the individual pay for said options???

put it in another light

should a jewish baker be forced to cater a nazi rally?

should a black photographer be forced to film a pro klan calender???

i cant speak for others, but when I say abolish the IRS i simply mean in its current form. some government org will still need to exist, but it doesnt have to exist as it does now.

so wait how exactly do you propose this to work? how do you tax something you OWN vs something you CONSUME? being that you have to OWN it to CONSUME it to begin with, it is the same exact thing.

they do nothing but appease the smug. if you want to stop pollution...STOP POLLUTING!!! stop flying on your private jet, stop keeping 15 houses up and running while you are not there, just stop. Paying someone for carbon credits does nothing to actually stop the pollution. its a scheme to get some people rich on the backs of others.

this. carbon credits are nothing but a ruse to allow the rich, like al gore, to keep polluting, while claiming they are not

i got ya, and I wasnt calling you out my apologies as I can see how it looked that way.

and i see your point. Im just really getting annoyed with everytime one brings up libertarianism, someone brings up somalia, meanwhile libertarians have nothing to do with somalia, nor do we want that.

except for that pesky 10th amendment which states anything not explict in the constitution is in fact a state right

oh I see, so because hes doing good, but not for the reasons you think he should be doing them, its somehow bad

its STILL better than doing nothing, or doing the opposite

as for the bill in question, I wish people would be more factual with their coverage. The law protects business owners from abuse. Should a black banquet hall owner be forced to hold a KKK rally against his will in the name of equality??? no of course not. This new law would protect him.
