@thomas19809@upstatefederlst No, they very clearly distinguished that any fee charged by the government is not necessarily a tax. The fact that the payment was calculated and filed as part of the tax return was an important part of why they determined it was a tax and NOT a fee.
@MyUnveiledTruth I thought foreign doctors have to do a U.S. residency to practice here? Where did he do his residency? This is as much a story about the failure of the medical community to wash out incompetents as it is about immigration (both are real problems).
@thomas19809@upstatefederlst No, retard. National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius (2012). SCOTUS ruled that Congress could not compel people to purchase insurance by penalizing them. The individual mandate and Obamacare was constitutional because the penalty fee was really a tax.
@ribblevalleyUTR@therdangreen Imagine being so retarded that you don't understand that insulation slows heat transfer. It keeps the house warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
@tooosouthern@HankHeil Bro, a good friend registered for gifts when he got married at 52! His wife was the same age. Neither ever married, no kids and each owned a house. Like, WTF have you been spending your money on for the past 30 years?
@memeticsisyphus This is mostly correct, however, there is some evidence that hospitals act like monopsonists and offer wages lower than would result from a competitive market.
@nandtpolitics@MJHeiser@upstatefederlst No retard, my child's high school gives out an award for every class. Math 9, Math 10, Math 11, AP Calc AB, AP Calc BC, etc.
@NS9298891880566@AttyTMD@TPCarney@upstatefederlst From, the R's playbook? This from the party that ignored Teddy drunk driving and leaving Mary Jo Kopechne to drown in 1969 and Bill sexually harassing a 22 yo intern. lol. The absolute gall.
No dumbfuck, I'm pointing out contradictions. Y'all want no restrictions on foreigners buying assets? Enjoy them buying up your local businesses. Nothing in either Travis' post or the post he was replying to indicate anything about preferential loans for foreigners. You are the one that is arguing about things that are in your own head.
In fact, Travis has multiple times asked anyone to point out where these SBA loans were given preferentially to foreigners, immigrants, h-1bs, etc., and AFAIK, no one has ever replied with verifiable info.
@Oberon_MTG@travis4nh Travis has posted multiple times arguing against restrictions on sales of assets (typically land) to foreigners. That is absolutely part of libertarian philosophy.
