BREAKING: Last year Hillary Clinton quietly settled a campaign finance violation over reporting the *Steele Dossier* funding as legal services
She paid a fine and was never arrested
@LibertarianMama @802libertarian Tax fraud is how they get people that they can't get any other way. But I'm guessing Trump would beat such a charge pretty handily, given his army of lawyers.
@802libertarian For sure. If only we had any confidence that such a hunt would continue beyond him and leave the partisan blinders aside. Unfortunately, they are going to pretend they "got em" and we can all go back to normal.
@JoJoFromJerz Friendly reminder that this account is a paid political account here to create unrest and division. She has other "characters" on social media which she uses to achieve the same goals, which amount to shilling for the Democratic party regardless of the policy.
@spoonerjrdeluxe I'm interested in your opinion of Malcom X. Because at one point in his life he said something similar. He had some pretty choice words for "white liberals", and none of those words included "hero" or "savior" like they believe about themselves.
@barbihoyt @SmartOfficeInc@RashidaTlaib The problem is, when the government gets involved it creates perverse incentives because their goal is not making things better, but collecting more power. Again, because humans are greedy by nature.
@barbihoyt @SmartOfficeInc@RashidaTlaib That is taking the authoritarian approach that isn't required in a capitalist system. Forcing compliance is only required when forcing someone to act against their nature. Human nature is greedy, yours and mine included. Capitalism operates on incentive.
@SmartOfficeInc @barbihoyt @RashidaTlaib EVERYONE acts in their own self-interest at the end of the day. Including those who vote to rob those we arbitrarily define as having "too much money" and then say anyone that doesn't want to do that is "voting against their own self-interest".
@barbihoyt @RashidaTlaib There is no such thing as "common good" when you propose robbing from one group to give to another. Especially when, once you get your way, you become the robber.
@barbihoyt @RashidaTlaib You will, and should, point out that this is happening within our system too. Which I would agree. But we don't NEED it. We have ALLOWED it... and in many cases DEMANDED it because that's the solution that "works in every other industrialized nation".
@barbihoyt @RashidaTlaib Socialism(and communism) can not exist without authoritarian governments enforcing the rules. There is no chance for self-regulation. The only counterparty is a government full of people attracted to the power that come with those positions.
