It's bullshit... Nobody should be ever held liable for what they post on the damn internet. It's outrageous to even allow such a thing, and much worse to advocate it.
The only appropriate answer for this sort of thing is "Fuck you. Get a warrant."
Enjoy your stay in government housing while we wait...
Jim Comey needs to be told to shut the hell up, do his job *RIGHT* and be a good little soldier.
Remember who gives the orders. He is a very good little soldier, getting up there and barking like a dog, very well trained. And maybe he too, will write a tell-all confession after he reties, if the right book deal comes along.
Whoa whoa whoa... We know that for sure now? With real quantifiable evidence, that I can see without a paywall? I musta slept through that part of the newcast... Somebody clue me in...
Nope, we still have social security. Just beef it up a little. We have the money, but the financial/derivatives markets are getting it all now, 85 bil a month...
Yeah, by not being an idiot and voting for big money. The system is Pavlovian, the reward method works just as well on it as it does on the dog. It has been conditioned to work the way it does. Some people are going to exploit that power.
It's all very weird. Everybody hates the Koch/Soros money in politics, and turn around and vote for the people who take it.
It's far, far more likely that a consumption tax would be an "also" and not an "instead of".
It all depends on the voters and who they elect. As long as they depend on wealthy campaigners to decide who to vote for, it is hopeless. They gotta learn to ignore the bling.
Well you got a little problem. The tax system, as well as the government itself, is set up and managed by the wealthy. The voters reward the system as it is with very little fuss, as you will see in a few weeks. I don't expect anything dramatic to happen for a long time.
Yeah, it's funny to think they can modify one gene without it cascading down the whole tree. Besides, we don't want Monsanto to get any patents on this.
Let's see how the practice turns out. Part of a "free, open" internet is making sure that no one can monopolize the pipe. Government isn't the only evil here. There is plenty of private interest in balkanization. In fact most government regulation is for their benefit.
So now ISIS has a warehouse or two of Iraqi chemical weapons. We went to war partially to prevent just that...
Just the opposite, pretty nice delivery system if you ask me. A little slow maybe, but then so is the post office some times. I mean, these are the same "moderate" freedom fighters that we hired to... what? Oh yeah, destroy Syria... cuz like... Russia... Yeah, well, mission accomplished, gang! Good work!
No no, wait, this was all like, totally an accident, right? Ooookaaay! walks away whistling *I saw nuthink!*
You know, when he pulls a quarter from behind your ear... Yes, they had weapons. Yes, they were already secured before the war even started. It's all bullshit. We are in the midst of another lie to keep the war going. The object is to stay in the game.

I, for one, REFUSE to be pre-criminalized...
Too late... already happened

That's the dog (sorry 'bout that)... I'm out back helpin' the missus uh, *clean the pool*..
It's important to keep up the fear factor. People are more compliant.
It would be devastating for the US economy in the short term...
Not if they build it up first, before going to war. But, you know how fanciful that dream is. Everything is done by reaction, and usually a bad one.

That only works against people who work. The hoarders are collecting interest and rent and using tax dodges to profit from inflation.
Remove money from the election process.

...excess consumption of the rich...
will probably clog your arteries, unless well cooked, with the fat trimmed off.

Instead of paying interest, money should have an expiration date. Use it or lose it.
The tax code is used and exploited for votes and social engineering.
It was created specifically for those purposes.

Plus or minus?
Fine, so we can't prove when life begins.
It began with the Big Bang. Everything is alive. Some lifeforms are just more animated, and talkative, that's all.
We are animals. The parallels should be expected. Human nature is the same as all other nature.

No thank you...
It's not? Why not?
Yes, it is a sick society where a lawyer is a basic necessity, like water and electricity.
The war has begun.
