re: I now believe in a wealth tax

What is the reasoning on this?
quote:

What makes you think having the legislature appointing the Senate would change that


A) it would a person beholden to the state government.
B) they can be recalled if they do not follow the guidance of the state government
C) it would not be a person looking for higher office and acting in their own interest alone.
quote:

Senators already advocate for their state under the current system.


bullshite. They advocate for themselves and lobbyists. The state government has zero representation in the federal system under the 17th amendment. Before the 17th the senators were selected to represent the state government, the house of representatives were supposed to represent the people of the state.
It’s already cost them 2 games and almost cost them the UGA game.

But this reeks of political stupidity/stunt.

Nothing is inventively better than Obamacare. 15 years of chipping away at it, removing the mandate, removing the tax credits, limiting it til it fades away. That was a significantly better plan than fighting it all at once.

It’s not relevant that he was aggressively agitating for hours before the incident?

AND he attempted to flee and extricate himself from the situation


I bet. The FO part just wasn’t for him. He had been agitating since 8 that morning at various points. He was put himself in numerous situations he had zero business being in, the female terrorist egged him on to act and instead of acting like a reasonable human him he FAed.

And he absolutely resisted, attacked, and got in way over his skill set. And paid the price for his misguided sense of justice and idiotic behavior. Same as the idiot lesbian. They push, push, and the useful idiots (read you and those that smell like you) are too stupid accept reality.

So did Kyle Rittenhouse.


What did Rittenhouse do to keep from getting shot by law enforcement? Oh that’s right, he made himself not a threat…. Amazing how that part gets left off.
Wait til they find the complaints about his time with the VA.

Oh please. When did this guy ever get the chance to fight? They jumped him.


He approached federal law enforcement, interfered in their lawful duty, interjecting himself into a situation that was being egged on my a female obstructing the officers, went for the firearm, and was shot.

Don’t let you willingly suspense of disbelief override reality.
Bringing the firearm isn’t the issue, it’s the fighting with federal law enforcement and expecting a different result, that’s the issue.

I carry most places, I also don’t fight federal law enforcement so my chances of being shot by law enforcement in self defense is statistically nil.
