@sowelleconomics Leftist view taxation as a tool of control and punishment, not as a means of funding government.

@AlBuffalo2nite At this point the most efficient use of the police would be to just keep them from leaving their neighborhoods.

@omgsidewalks Life comes with responsibilities. If you refuse to accept those responsibilities, go out and live in the woods. Its free. However, if you wish to afford the comforts of modern civilization, its your responsibility to contribute.

@mattvanswol Maybe the “community” is beyond help and should be left to its own devices l.

@RBReich You’ll do nothing of the kind, Robert. Your party is being systematically politically extinguished. You’re flailing. Running and endorsing Nazis, terrorist sympathizers and open communists. But your so self-absorbed and obtuse you dont even realize what’s coming. 🤣

@grahamformaine The only people “transferring wealth” are politicians in both parties who are destroying the value of the USD that people work for through out of control deficit spending . Platner will do nothing to fix that.

@Claudia26Geo25 @RBReich Yes, I’ve read many books. Maybe you should try reading one. Its titled “Hitler’s American Model”. It chronicles the Democrat Party’s and American progressive left’s close association with the German Nazi Party. It describes how the Nazis copied American progressive policies.

@Old_SchoolEddie I appreciate her faith but if she holds that position its part of her job.

@RepRobinKelly Instead of wasting time gathering in the street why don’t go out into the neighborhoods and tell the millions of deadbeat fathers to go home and raise their children to not be violent animals? 🤔

@Raingoons God bless the Rangers for celebrating faith and family instead of glorifying perversion and mental illness. 🙏

@AlanRMacLeod @nytimes That’s great news! Millions if Mexicans should now be returning home. ✋

[SunCat @SunCat4D]

@BernieSanders But you’ve been there Bernie since the Civil War and you’ve done nothing but enrich yourself and complain. Exactly the same thing Platner will do. If you actually fix anything you lose the issue to run on next time.

@nicksortor If my tax money is going to pay for pepper spray I want to see the return on my investment 🤨

Milton Friedman's greatest regret.

The federal government discovered the perfect crime in 1943: make employers collect taxes before workers ever see their paychecks. You think you earn $60,000 per year, but you actually earn $75,000 and hand over $15,000 to politicians without ever touching it. The psychological difference is enormous.

Before payroll withholding, Americans wrote quarterly checks directly to the Treasury. Picture yourself sitting at your kitchen table, writing a $3,750 check to the IRS every three months. The pain was immediate and visceral. Politicians faced constant pressure to justify every dollar because citizens felt the extraction in real time.

Withholding transforms this concrete loss into an abstract accounting entry. Your employer becomes an unpaid tax collector, and you never experience the actual cost of government. Worse, most people celebrate their tax refunds as government generosity rather than recognizing them as interest-free loans they provided to politicians. The Treasury collects your money throughout the year, spends it immediately, then returns your own cash and receives gratitude.

This system enables the explosion in government spending you witness today. Defense contractors billing $640 for toilet seats, agricultural subsidies for corn syrup, and congressional salaries for 535 people who rarely show up to work. When taxation feels painless, voters stop demanding accountability for how their money gets spent.

Milton Friedman helped design withholding as a wartime emergency measure and later called it his greatest regret. Free market economists recognized that the psychological pain of direct taxation creates political pressure for fiscal restraint. The temporary always becomes permanent in government hands, and the emergency justification disappears while the extraction mechanism remains forever.

@Old_SchoolEddie @nicksortor The EPA routinely oversteps its authority under the Clean Air Act. EPA regulations are not duly passed laws however the environmental zealots who have taken over the agency use regulations as weapons against disfavored groups, such as diesel mechanics.

@bennyjohnson Because they couldn’t go nd any actual racism in the US they used donated money to create it and then fund taised more money off of that. Its actually a brilliant scam, enabled every step of the way by the legacy media and Democrat Party 🤡

[SunCat @SunCat4D]

@Old_SchoolEddie US taxpayers have basically been financing the entire world since the end of WW2. Read “The Creature from Jeckyl Island”.

@ChrisMWilliams Maybe they just don’t want to stay in a city run by corrupt psychopaths
