Road Taxes paid by Taxes on Fuel. Not enough roads, raise taxes on fuel, doubles to reduce cars on the roads, and pays for increased roads. Smog increases, then raise taxes on smog producing fuel.
Military can be paid for with taxes on corporations (state created entities), and cross boarder transaction taxes.
Fire and Police are local, and should be paid for by local taxes like property taxes, since they are used to protect property.
The problem as I see it today, we have no balance in taxing and spending. We have big tax/spend (D) and little tax/big spend (R). Nobody is really offering the REAL solution which is to spend what we tax and tax what we spend. Letting the people vote with their wallets on what is a priority with them.
Of course that doesn't sit well with the busybodies and dogodders who love to spend other peoples money and stick their noses in everyone else's business. Yes, I'm talking about both (D) and (R).
This is why tax policy should be re-evaluated. We should not be taxing things we want people to do, we should be taxing the things we don't want people doing.
If we, as a society, value something, taxing it is the most assured way of destroying it. Let us legalize drugs, prostitution and every other "victimless crime" we have now, and tax it.
I have never understood the idea of taxing things people need like income.
US Government isn't capitalist. With Obama and GWB and Clinton taking over larger and larger parts of the economy, I dare say it is officially socialistic. Capitalism is dead, and we're enslaving our children in unsustainable debt.
But hey, if you like that kind of "compassionate governance" great. I happen to not like it much.
What are the laws, and anything that doesn't break the laws are fine. Trust me, a creative mind can do all sorts of things just this side of illegal to make the point needed.
I have a great deal of respect for MLK for the stand he took. The problem is that we're not so much concerned about content of character, but still fixated on color of skin.
The problem is, it is easier to find people based on objective things like skin color, than it is to discern one's character. One is instantaneous, the other is exposed only through time and circumstances.
Content of character exposes charlatans like Sarah Palin and Al Gore, but it takes time.
But hey, you know, now that Obama's president, we can look forward to the IRS (and a dozen new bureaucracies) running our Health Care (literally), how's that for "Change we can believe in" ? More of the same old federal intrusion into everyone's lives.
The problem is, due to gun law restrictions, the Branch Davidians didn't have the same firepower as the ATF people raiding the compound and shooting people.
If the Davidians had a tank like the ATF guys, I can assure you that the casualty rate on the ATF side would have been greater.
Imagine if Waco happened under Bush's administration, what the leftwingers would have said about him being a Fascist. Instead it was okay because it was Clinton, go figure.
After all, it is better to kill a bunch of kids trying to get at an accused child molester and gun toting religious nut, than it is to try to do it a different way.
Not to mention Randy Weaver case, where an unarmed woman holding a baby was shot in the head by Federal Agents.
"They have caved in on the right of the average American to keep any kind of real defense. "
Exactly!
I still wonder on what authority the Feds started the siege on. And why the local Sheriff didn't tell them to get the f' out of the county.
Also, I filled out the Census backwards, there is no Person #1 listed, so any question asking relationship to person #1 doesn't apply.
As for other fields, I filled them in with nonsensical or whimsical answers whenever possible. The rules for filling out the Census form were so non-specific, that I did everything I could that didn't violate the rules that were given, but were otherwise not what they wanted.
Civil Disobedience, by the rules. Don't break any rules, just being an asshole is often good enough.
Libertarian, 2nd Amendment Loving, Fundamentalist (but not xian), Mostly Northern European Mutt Mix.
I'm Libertarian, because I don't want people telling me what gun I can or cannot own, What religion I can or cannot belong to, and my heritage is such a mix I have no allegiance to any nationality except Constitutional US of A (which has long since been whittled away).
I don't like big government, big corporations, and big unions. I don't like people who make policies based on things like race, color, creed, political affiliations, sexual orientation, martial status, income level.
But hey, I'm a radical "right winger" (except those pesky left wing libertarian ideals, like not liking the Patriot Act)
I want liberty and justice for ALL. LIBERTY and justice. I value Liberty above all.
Systems fail at the extremes are doomed to failure.
Fire Departments put out fires, however people running around lighting fires are criminals, and tossed into jail.
Police Departments arrest people who break laws, and maintain existing order, helping prevent criminals from ruling society.
Socialized Health Care does nothing to PREVENT abuse of the system. Fat People are allowed to continue to eat Mc Donalds, Drunk People are allowed to drink themselves silly, Drug Addicts are allowed to do drugs, Risky Sports people are still allowed to do stupid stunts.
I wouldn't mind helping the TRULY unfortunate, kids born with conditions etc. But I don't want to pay for Fattie's quintuple bypass, Smoker's Lung Cancer, Alcoholics new liver, and Bobby to become Betty, or Veronica's Boob Job.
A standing army is actually Delineated in the Constitution as something a FEDERAL Government is to provide.
The problem is, if you're gonna attack at the edges, then you must be willing to be attacked on the edges.
As for Police, Fire and War, the need for these things are relatively RARE, and thus costs are easily shared across the entire population.
Health Care needs are not rare, nor are they cheap. Yeah it sucks that people get sick and die. But that is the fate of everyone.
What this country offers (at least till this point) is opportunity to succeed if one is willing to work hard and sacrifice. THAT is slowly disappearing and we aren't better off for it.
And if moving to a third world country is any evidence of anything, it is that health care is NOT a right, but rather a privilege of wealth.
You might not think that is fair, but life is not fair. See the poor kid born with Cerebral Palsy.
We are only delaying the inevitable, only to enslave our children in the process. Bankrupting our country in the name of compassion isn't compassionate as it sounds.
What about people who are just plain unhealthy because of "choice". You know, the SUPERSIZE me crowd? Can we require them to have their stomach stapled? Require them to get physical exercise?
Until we can ALSO mandate lifestyle changes, why should anyone let alone all of society be required to cover people's quintuple bypass because they chose to eat at Mc Donalds for three meals a day?
Am I allowed to comment on the fat people buying crap food in the grocery stores and tell them to go to over-eaters anonymous?
We going to have Health Police write people up for reckless eating? WHY NOT???
How about responsibility? How about legislate some of that first? Oh right, poor people can't be responsible for themselves we have to take care of them for them, since they are incapable of it themselves. Welcome to the Nanny State!
"At what point do you draw the line and say that I am going to help these people and not those people?"
When it is no longer my choice. THAT is what the liberals think is so good, is really tyranny in disguise.
Compassion Fascism is not compassionate. Share the misery is not an option in my opinion. People should be responsible for themselves, and themselves alone. Yeah, life sucks sometimes, get over it. People get sick and die. It happens, get over it.
I've seen people drain MILLIONS of dollars trying to get an extra 6 months of life out of 75 year old person, to what end? And I'm forced (where's the compassion in that) to help pay for it???
This bill does nothing to fix what is wrong with Health Care, and will make things even worse, at which point, Obama, Pelosi and Reed (if they are still in office) will trot out the next anecdotal evidence of why even MORE reform is needed, and so on and so forth. Till they get Single Payer Universally bad health care.
NEVER will they undo what they've done, nor admit that it is a colossal failure when it collapses under the debt (and slavery) being handed over to our children.
Social Security, Medicare, and now Univerally Bad Health Care are bankrupting our country in the name of "compassion". AND yet they can't even admit there's a problem.
Promote doesn't equal provide. Liberals continue to fail on this point.
Socialism never works, because it punishes success and rewards apathy and failure.
We must allow for failure, or else there will be no excellence. We run races, not to punish those that lose, but to reward those that win. Liberals think races are cruel and thus tell people to play soccer, and not keep score for fear of hurting little Johnnie's Feelings should he lose (fail).
While it may work for six year olds, it doesn't work on 30 year olds.
Actually, if you want your daughter to pregnant or start having regular abortions at age 9 or whatever, great. I don't want my daughters to be fucked by any old dude with a penis, requiring her to get HPV vaccines and take hormone pills during the time of her puberty and maturation.
I also don't want you telling me how to raise my kids any more than you want me telling you how to raise yours.
And as for "Christian Taliban" when was the last time any "christian" stopped you from raising your kid the way you wanted. HMMM?
People who talk like you have never raised any kids or had to deal with the crap that results. I can't wait till you have a slutty daughter, who is pregnant at 13, by a 26 year old loser.
Spend $2000 on a laptop (what mine cost, top of the line Dell at the time), that lasts 4-5 years (400 - 500/yr) or spend $500 on a new laptop every year or so. Figure out which one would give have me have a better laptop right now?
I have replaced the Power Supply, Battery and keyboard, and upgraded the RAM. My company won't buy another $2000 laptop for me, but they'll spend a little here, little there to keep this one running. Go figure.
The point is, at $500 for a laptop, they are practically disposable in two years when the battery dies, or the Power supply breaks, or I need more RAM or...
I can do the calculations in my head where the lesser expensive units make more sense when running TCO.
There are currently 16 laptops in the $400- $500 range that are better than my current laptop. Smart Phones I'm considering, like Driods, iPhones and Blackberry, are in that same price range.
While I realize that my laptop is Shitty and all, but I'd rather spend my $ on a smart phone I use more than my laptop.
In fact, I dare say that I use my phone more than my laptop. Except when I'm on/. of course;):-D
I dunno about that. The Smart Phones I'm currently looking at cost as much as one of the lower end laptops. And since I don't look at the subsidized prices, I get a fair representation of what they actually cost.
I'm looking at iPhone, Blackberry and Droids, and may look Palm.
If you read the whole post, and not cherry picked the one statement, you'd have a better understanding of what I was saying.
But pedantry is easy. I said I'd expose EVERY stupid decision that compromised security. IF there was a deficiency that was being address that would not be a "stupid" decision.
You see how that qualifies the original statement? However, If I said that as CISO I recommended using IE 8 or Firefox or other browser because of some unpatched exploit in IE6 and 7 out in the wild, and the people above me said that I couldn't, that would be an EXAMPLE of such a whistle blowing I would do.
Leaving a system unpatched and exploitable for compatibility sake is just plain stupid. Especially if nothing was being done to fix EITHER half of that problem.
So, you see, It isn't about exposing state secrets, it is about "looking good", which is the ONLY reason this guy was fired. It wasn't for lack of judgment because the info was already out in the open, and the guy was using it in an informative manner.
And now you know why people are kept in the dark about stupid things, it keeps the elected in office. If you knew half of what was going on, you'd be pissed like everyone else.
If you taxed the "rich" 100%, it still wouldn't touch the budget debt. Bushes Tax cuts were bad, but not nearly as bad as three quarters of a century of Social Security Pyramid Schemed, half a century of Medicare, and all the TRILLIONS we've spent on the war on poverty.
I agree that cutting taxes on the rich didn't help, but the only REAL solution is to raise taxes on the people who currently aren't paying any, cut spending (entitlements), and stop the pork barrel spending.
Of course Obama's Health Care reform isn't really about Health Care, it is about creating another bankrupt entitlement, and passing the debt off to our children.
PEOPLE do you not realize that you're selling your children into slavery? And it isn't just the USA that is facing this problem, it is happening all across the world.
So yeah, I blame Bush and the (R) as much as I do the Pelosi, Obama, Reed and the other (D).
And yes, I was against the bailouts. GM should have failed, same with AIG and Goldman-Sachs. Nothing is "too big to fail", and failure is like a forest fire, it cleans out the dead underbrush.
The Bailouts just passed the buck down to your children.
Don't just blame Obama, after all, he has only been in office little over one year. Blame everyone in Washington, and your state capitol.
The problem is Politicians offering bribes in the form of "entitlements" to voters and pork to corporate sponsors. Those of us still paying taxes (less than 50% of us pay federal taxes) are simply idiots for not screaming NO NO NO NO NO this year.
Look, I'm no fan of Obama, and this Health Care fiasco being RAHMed (sic) down our throats is only going to make it worse. Medicare and Social Security are ALREADY going broke, as are all the other entitlements we've created over the years.
And it isn't just the USA that is facing this crisis, countries all over the world have spent themselves into slavery to the Ruling Elite, who are immune to many of the same laws that would have us poor sheeple tossed into Jails.
We really ARE stupid panicky animals, as a herd.
Next time you hear the terms "Crisis", "Terror", "Evil" in a political speech, whether you agree with the guys speaking or not, we should all start booing and laughing.
The only way we are going to fix this, is if WE change.
Laptops USED to be more valuable than phones. I would suggest to you that PHONES are now even more valuable than laptops. I know my phone has more valuable data on it than my computer does. Not only that, the data on my computer is backed up on a regular basis, and I'm not sure that I can back up the data on my phone all that easily.

If Ashcroft acted like Reno, the leftwing would have called him a fascist. They would have been right too. The double standard is mind boggling.
It is all part of the (R) bad (D) good (or visa versa - Hanity types) mentality.
