There is no time in US history where we have had zero taxes. If you are talking about WWII, the tax rate was multiple times higher than today (though not the effective tax rate, granted).

Reread the Constitution. Government is responsible for protecting the general welfare of the population.

Progressives got us: The American Revolution Abolition of Slavery Preserved the Union that is the US Women's right to vote Civil rights for minorities The New Deal (mitigating depression) Central bank (prevent and mitigate corrections when done properly) Environmental preservation Public goods...

Paid no taxes? Credibility lost. And calling all those soldiers hicks is untrue.

I don't think I agree with your assessment of libertarianism. Classical liberalism wasn't coined libertarianism in the 1700s as far as I know. If they would have tore down the government and enacted anarchy, that would be anarchy. But the founding fathers immediately replaced it with another...

I wish that were true, and it is what they would have you believe. But I would say maybe 1% of Republican politicians fit that mould. Trump isn't one of them.

Lol conservative in 1776? I think the conservatives were monarchists. Are you pretending to be stupid or ? The founding fathers used the ideas of classical liberalism to craft the Constitution. Right-libertarianism wasn't developed until the mid twentieth century.

But on principle you can't live there because of their horrible socialism, right? How can you sleep at night knowing they have maternity leave and universal healthcare? The horror!

England and Canada come to mind. The US is a great place though, just the right wing has much weakened the economic and social security for the people, and they continue to take us in that direction. England and Canada mitigate the ill effects on the inherent losers in a capitalist system...

I think you are portraying a false dichotomy. Not having absolute freedom and anarchy does not equate to slavery. When you voluntarily agree to stay in a society of democratic law, you are agreeing to obey its democratically decided laws. You also have the freedom and power to try and change...

You are right. Some regulations purposefully make the field unlevel. Utilitarian arguments sometimes make sense, though.

So Putin is Antifa? ;)

Others aren't affirming it, you are. My point stands. Your are born into a society of laws, or maybe you are born on a remote island. That is your circumstance. Your parents decided for you, but once you turn 18 the state should allow you, and does in the US I believe, to revoke your citizenship...

The government by the people, of the people, for the people. Reverse CU, let the people have a just as much or a bigger voice than big business. I believe in democracy.

That's what I mean by fair. Kind of like fair share of taxes doesn't mean a flat tax. Fair means logically regulated to keep the playing field level.

Cop training, gun licensing, or both?

I always thought that was a southern accent type thing, either making fun of it or just vernacular. Your goy images showed muh a lot though, what does that come from? Any other evidence? I obviously don't like the way he debates and think his political views are unclear to say the least. Not...

You're right about how ridiculous it looks, but when I look close I see the leftists, moderate to far left, tty to buck, at least addressing the post they are quoting. The people on the right don't even try.

I don't get it, but those caveman commercials are offensive @Rob Roy

From his quote it looks like he was saying his friend was a dumbass for thinking even he was "pure white" which itself is a moronic concept.
