My personal attitude is that you are a fine example of what is wrong with right wingers, instead of even asking to clarify anything you go beating up strawmen.
The last point is not begging the question at all. It is a simple statement that those who believe taxes are theft are simply wrong.
Quite true, I guess I should have added without just cause and due process of law to that comment.
I believe there are rather few, but that they are there and both major parties in the USA violate them. Neither wants to actual see what works and do that.
I disagree. Hopefully most people would agree until our debt situation looks better higher taxes are what we need. Our government does not need to be smaller in all areas, sure we can kill the TSA and end the foreign wars but the EPA and FDA should be given more power to do what they are supposed to do.
Again, I disagree. We can surely agree some viewpoints are not valid, for instance any that seeks to deprive someone of human rights, or authorizes war crimes as a matter of course. Also who think voluntary money paid to support society is theft, etc.
And continue to enjoy rent seeking based on patents, that are a government regulation?
Either you like big government or you don't but like most the Tea Party speaks out of both sides of their mouths. For most of them though it seems to be ignorance instead of malice, this guy seems not to have that excuse.
And all without any government assistance. He used not a single road, did not use the results of DARPA research to make his product exist nor did he ever expect police protection!
Oh wait, no he got all those things and now he does not want to pay for them. What a typical libertarian.
I suggest you pay market wages no matter what else you decide. Even off shore folks will want nearly as much as you pay a developer, if they are as good they would be making that anyway.
I realize this might be hard for you, maybe even impossible. Then you will end up with crap software. The folks you want to hire have already "put in their time" otherwise you are talking about college students again.
I would also suggest benefits that are cheap and often overlooked; Non-fixed hours, no dress code, work from home, etc. These are all things your outsourced workers could be getting and you would never know.
What developer would work for less? The reason the last 3 were so bad, is because you don't want to pay market wages.
If you want to attract the right developers you will need to pay $70K+ and offer insurance and PTO and 401Ks. I don't see what is so hard to understand about this. If you cannot offer insurance and 401Ks you will have to pay more in wages to make up for that. Employees need to save money and have healthcare. Why should they suffer for you?
You have already seen that paying crap wages gets crap workers. Why continue to try to do that?
Mercury is not that dangerous. You don't know people that played with it as a children? Sure you don't want the kids eating it, but leaving the room for 15 minutes is not a huge deal.
The government has not mandated their use, their are even incandescents that will meet or exceed the efficiency requirements. LED bulbs also meet these targets and contain no mercury. The old style incandescents were heating elements that happend to make a small amount of light.
I have had CFLs last over 5 years. Perhaps your abode has an electrical problem.
If the crew compartment was in the right location on the stack, the top, the latex would never have been needed. This method is how all other manned systems isolate the crew cabin from this particular failure mode.
The tax you pay is for roads, numbnuts. The $0.31 does not get sent to the DOD. If you want to double the tax and use that to pay for the Middle East adventures, I fully support that.
The mercury in CFLs is so little I just don't worry about it. I am not planning on eating them, and I still eat Tuna and other large fish.
LEDs are always going to beat CFLs the only question is how much. I would suggest you look into the higher end phillips CFLs if you want quality ones.
DO NOT THROW AWAY CFLs! Take them to your local hardware store, home depot, lowes etc, they will accept them for recycling. They also sell these bulbs so pretty easy to take the dead one back when you buy a replacement. I would say the same thing about LED bulbs, these things all have valuable resources locked up in them.
No, it does not do a good job at it. We have several 4S's in the building and if you stray from the beaten path it tends to do stupid shit like tell you that the Nokia Lumina is the best smart phone. It really is a very bad front end to Wolfram Alpha when you start to use normal speech.

I thought they were more bootstrappy, less government healthcare?
Last I remember they want to old to die in the street rather than pay any taxes to prevent it.
A rational person. You have no place on the US political spectrum.
You are in good company though.

The GP is the sort of nutbag the tea party is full of and founded by.

Sometimes. Not always.
For instance people who believe in a flat earth did not come to an alternative conclusion they are just wrong.
Ethically it is. I pay into right now, with one of the expectations being that one day I might need to collect it.
For the amount of time he was a US citizen, so he stop being one get his cash and still benefit from our taxes.
Why do libertarians so often act as those they would call leaches?
Check out there pot laws, or their death penalty statutes. Hell, they just killed a guy who's family died in an accidental fire.
That seems pretty oppressive to me.

No, it is method of saying you used the things our taxes paid for to get rich now pay it back or GTFO and don't come back.
Do you think a welfare recipient who wins the lottery should be able to avoid paying back what they took by leaving?
They are not smart enough to find the building any faster?
Considering the oppressive laws they come up with it can't be much else.

So talented employees with valuable skills want fair pay?
Shocking!
Why are they willing to pay managers like that but not those who do actual work?

Patrolling the water is not the only cost. Add in what we spent on the war in Iraq and see what the real costs were.
Please do name 1 brand that says that.
PROTIP: NONE OF THEM DO! If that was true you would have to do the same every time you opened a couple cans of tuna or catfood.
