It pisses me off when people reply to those who want to abolish property taxes with “how will we pay for fire departments, roads, schools, libraries, etc?” There’s a push in Ohio to abolish property taxes after property taxes went outrageously high for many people last year. Ohioans are fed up. And some that support the abolition say they’re fine with raising the state income tax. People always miss the point. Don’t raise one tax to lower or abolish another. Replace that tax with nothing. MAKE CUTS TO THE SIZE OF GOVERNMENT. Look at Ohio’s executive cabinet. Ask yourself why we need so many cabinet departments and agencies. Merge some of them. Eliminate the rest. Merge the Department of Medicaid into the Department of Health. Department of Aging? Why the hell do we need that? If there’s an essential service, merge it with another department and eliminate the rest. People want government to nanny them. They’re afraid of a free market and of not having government to tend to them for everything. Society really needs to fix this problem. Society needs to be a little more self-sufficient and learn to find alternative ways to get services.
Unfortunately, populists campaign and cater to social media instead of sticking to principle. We either should’ve fought Iran to end the evil regime once and for all, or we shouldn’t have started something we weren’t going to finish. This so-called “deal” with Iran smells like shameful surrender.
There is a movement in this country of populism and isolationism. It will weaken the country, divide it, and embarrass it. These people have no shame. They deny the fact that the outside world affects our country to a degree. Trump and Vance cater to this movement. It must be rejected.
@bonchieredstate America needs a president who doesn’t give a hoot and a holler about “deals” and gets the results needed. These stupid “deals” are just performative bs.
@WallStreetApes Eminent domain needs to be abolished via constitutional amendment. There is no excuse to seize someone’s property, unless it has been seized by a court due to use in, or receipt from, a crime.
@SouthernKeeks Between the populist crap in the GOP and these younger idiot voters who don’t know shit about anything, it’s no wonder this is happening. These people are useful idiots.
@KevyB1990@JonnyMicro That’s when it seemed to go south with Massie. It’s a shame. I respected him and felt he was one of the very few good ones in DC. Now, he’s an angry, hateful man.
@JonnyMicro@TomSteyer Seems insurrectiony. What would Dems say if a Republican mayor or governor had local or state police arrest ATF agents for enforcing federal gun laws?
@leftyforthelord@byelin@DrewSav Physicians must have 12,000-16,000 clinical hours post-medical school to graduate residency. DNPs do not come close to that.
@byelin@DrewSav Perhaps I want the doctor to be evaluating me. They have the most schooling and training. I don’t want passed off to an NP or PA simply because they’re cheaper for the hospital or doctor’s office to employ.
