@WhiteHouse Right, so get rid of Social Security and Medicare, progressive income tax (or income tax completely), public schools, the central bank, and other socialist programs we have that are literally listed in the Communist Manifesto as steps towards Marx’s system.
@TimOfallonRo@ZubyMusic@patrickbetdavid Nearly all taxes go toward the interest on the national debt. Nearly all federal spending is debt spending enabled by the Federal Reserve.
@balsamicshoe@defundhighered@ZubyMusic@patrickbetdavid Remove sin taxes and I’ll raise you bonds. Bonds would make giving to the government completely voluntary. They used to fund wars by selling war bonds—don’t want wars? Don’t fund them. Would have to end the Fed to make it work. Sin taxes are the gov behaving like parents.
@LpmcBryce@LPNational@LPNational probably also doesn’t care she made a webpage on Austin full of false defamatory statements to share with people in Hawaii so they wouldn’t vote for him in the 2025 LPHI convention. Webpage is now deleted.
@AustinShiloh1 I’ll say I’m assuming their politics, but—During Cvd, I debated dozens of folks on libertarian pages over masks and shots. They certainly weren’t conservative, so they were either confused on our principles or leftists wanting to argue with libertarians. Or bots.
@AustinShiloh1@LpmcBryce When big centralized LNC comes looking for reasons to disaffiliate state affiliates or impose control, they send adult professionals.
@AustinShiloh1 The irony is incredible: LNC trying to centralize power, micromanage decentralized state parties, and rule out due process, etc. Another “principles don’t apply to us” moment.
@JPMorrisey@AustinShiloh1 Freemasonry is a large, real, and prevalent organization, with numerous government officials and elected representatives openly identifying as Masons. That makes potential conflicts of interest objectively more tangible than a goose chase about lizard people and the Illuminati.
@ChristianHeiens Gov helped create what you blame on liberty. Inflation made 1-income families harder to sustain, welfare displaced family support, and schools shifted influence from parents to state. Weaker families -> weaker traditions. If family feels unattainable, dysfunction follows.
@7597Navy@martyrmade@MaryBowdenMD When you stay out of a region (physically/politically) and never bomb or invade them (just trade), a crazy thing happens where they are not your enemy, Americans are safer, less money is going overseas for war and corruption, and less destruction/refugees.
@AustinShiloh1 That email thread was an absolute clown show and disgrace using unfounded rationale to block affiliates from submitting. I’d say Ken had 0 concept of interested parties or due process, but more likely negligence and agenda
