Currently, both sides do their darnedest to keep us in the dark. I think there should be a randomly selected citizen review board for anything that gets censored. It should rotate annually also, one person from each state. Give them a stipend and make them server.
I also think mandatory voting is a great idea. Our democracy requires everyone to make a small sacrifice, right now we are building it on the backs of the poor and middle class despite the rich's bleating about how much they pay. They haven't paid anything near the cost for the specter of power that stands behind them and enforces their legal ownership and contract law in general.
Garnishing someone's tax return is not feasable for the majority of debts. I'm not sure if it's even possible for a federal return, outside student loans and debts to the government. Some states allow you to garnish a state tax return. You can absolutely be arrested for failure to appear on a civil court case, even small claims. I sued someone afew years back and went back and forth with them multiple times. They were smart enough to show up every time I could have had them held in contempt.
In my jurisdiction, for an average person, you have to sue them and pay filing fees, then appear and get a default judgement, then file to collect your default judgement. If they don't show for that, you can get a "body attachment" and they will have an arrest warrant issued. If they have an interaction with the police, they will be arrested and held, usually until they cough up some percentage of the debt.
This process takes a long time and is difficult for a person to follow through, I ended up settling the debt after 3 or 4 months of court appointments. Companies with can keep hounding you and if you miss the right court appointment you are SOL.

To pay my rent I do 1 of three things.
1. Mail a check (cost of stamp)
2. go to the post office, swipe my debit card and get a money order which I then mail to my landlord. (cost of stamp plus money order is $1.50, benefit is USPS debits my card instantly instead of watching for a check to clear).
3. PREFERRED - log into my bank website and enter my rent amount into a box for the payee (landlord). Click submit. The bank then mails a check to the landlord. This debits from my account semi-instantly and is no cost to me. For some reason my bank hold these if I submit them on Friday and they process on Monday. This also takes afew days, so if I forget to do it on the 1st, or there is a weekend between the fifth and the first, it will be late.
I'm in the US.
Wow, way to take a quote out of context. Anyone with half a brain should realize that tying healthcare to crappy jobs is a bad thing. As to your comment about jealousy, I think that's mostly projection. Alot of "wealthy" people do it so they can feel better then people around them. Having people jealous of their money and trying to "steal" it though taxes feeds into their sense of self worth. In reality, we don't tax people because we are jealous, we tax people because their the ones with the money.
I hope you are under professional care. I'm no Democrat or Republican. I'm doing my part to reign in the government overreach. My only point is that armed insurrection is a fools game and will only lead to worse problems.
Sure, that's the story when they are not on top. Just wait until they are calling the shots with a small army at their back (hopefully never). Look at the dumb stuff that went down at Cliven's ranch.
Well, a bunch of armed groups seizing power is certainly the best way to enable this scenario.
When I say, "another George Washington", I meant someone who is willing to step down and relinquish power. That's not a common attribute, I doubt it's anywhere to be found in the rabid tea-tardist camp. They want to be in charge and make sure we do things their way or die in a ditch.
I have a voice in government today. My impact is small, but my rights and voice are real. You would trade the "elite's" you don't like, for some "elite's" that you think you like, who will turn out to be, or be replaced by someone terrible.
See - almost every coup in history. Your basically pinning your hopes on another George Washington.
The Vietnamese did not win, America lost (lost interest, lost heart, lost a lot of lives). An occupying force is much different then a civil war (see Syria).
someone with basic blacksmithing skills can build the receiver out of a shovel. I have to call bullshit on this, there are no modern firearms that can be built with a hammer and anvil.
I know I'm going to go down in flames for this, and it's bad policy to respond to a troll...but...
That case is so full of stupid on the part of the guy who got convicted. He is a poster child for dumbass and deserved to get convicted. Any gun owner with a brain make sure people don't confuse him with responsible gun owners.

That needs a mod point, sorry I can't oblige today.
HAHA.. he thinks food is unregulated...
Why not pay the project implementer a portion of those millions? Because our system only reward the figureheads, not the doers....
there market share...
Where?

There's a forth dimensional aspect to the human brain. We can't see it yet.

Unfortunately, it's more like, let's find any way to close this case and pin it someone so I can be done.
So, the laws are stupid, the reality is you can't build a modern firearm with blacksmith tools.

My point stands, your not building a modern firearm without mail-order & a shovel.

Check the cover, if it says D&D, it's not the same bible he's talking about.
I think they stopped, the last massive gun rights limitations were passed under Raegan. Maybe they never started...
preach it bother!

Do some research on your own, http://www.thehighroad.org/arc...
Rule of law, social norms, and trained police / military will do a pretty good job.
