I will tolerate you. That’s it.
Fuck your demands for acceptance.
Fuck your calls for respect.
I will tolerate you by way of indifference. The rest you have to earn and you can earn it by shutting the fuck up and leaving me alone.
@Dale4NH@CattleMutt_NH@JayNooneManCamp That presumes we should have public schools. Remove those and town budgets are so miniscule that funding sources such as fees or transactional taxes become feasible.
@Timrolandm35n@WasRobrtPaulson@Dale4NH No. No they don't. Of the 3 major forms of taxation, income tax and property tax mean you don't own your labor or your property w/o rents to the government. Transactional taxes (e.g. sales tax) are mostly avoidable and have a government guarantee/duty attached to them.
@Dale4NH@airsciguy "That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed"
It doesn't matter how you think NH will fare in court; it is the duty of our state to protect our rights just as it did w/ Marquis v. MA.
@RoKhanna@elonmusk@EleanorClift@MarkHalperin On the contrary, we have the best healthcare and health outcomes in all of history because of freedom of the market and the freedom of the market. Where government has interfered, it has only made that superb healthcare more expensive and unavailable.
@japan_nobunaga@aeriedad Between friends, it's a fine question. Among acquaintances or strangers, most Americans feel uncomfortable being asked because governments have a long history of tracking gun owners and relieving them of their weapons.
@ShamashAran What you left unsaid, but I think you understand: They don't hate America b/c of Trump, Congress, healthcare or even b/c they are out of power. They hate it precisely b/c of the culture, people, communities, traditions, freedoms, churches, charities, families, &c. They hate us.
@RoKhanna@BernieSanders If you imposed this tax on Elon, he would have to sell significant shares of his company to pay it and then you wouldn't have SpaceX rockets and you still wouldn't have your California high speed rail to nowhere.
@GavinNewsom If Gavin had a trillion dollars, he would build two more miles of the high speed rail and use none of it to solve the homeless crisis in his state or rebuild the Pacific Palisades.
@PerBylund Markets exist whenever two or people decide to exchange something of value. Governments are only allowed to participate if the participants decide to allow it. How else do you get people in the Soviet Union weren't blue jeans and listening to American Rock?
@Citizen_of_KS@ScottPresler@grok This is not a rule getting bent; this is the rule. And you "muh norms" bots are ignorant. Your norms were once the abnormal and more recently then you think.
