What leftists like you don't realize is that in order to effect change from the bottom up, you have to stop picking and choosing which people and which behaviors you like, and support all the power of the people over that of government every time.
That's the fourth amendment, not the first. I'm not sure if you're implying that because government unsurprisingly infringes on the rights of its citizens that we should just call the whole thing off? Just what I'd expect from a subject.
You know, I can't take responsibility for people who are foolish enough to play the lottery with their last dollar. That's not a tax, unless you want to consider it a tax on stupidity. Stop being stupid, and the tax is no longer levied. The PA lottery sends proceeds to programs for seniors, so if you proposed to eliminate it you'd be accused of ageism anyway. Government is the problem.
Guess who keeps raising the taxes on alcohol and tobacco? What was the first tax Obama raised when he came into office? Government is the problem.
Claiming that renters (there are renters outside the city, BTW) are paying property tax is also as dumb as claiming that when I take out a loan or use a credit card, I'm paying the bank's taxes. Again, if property taxes are too high and forcing up rents, guess whose fault that is again?
There is a cap on the SS tax because there's a cap on benefits. But I don't expect the Slashdot leftist to believe in fairness as much as the "fair share".
which hits basically every dollar poorer people see
That's only because we're already paying for all their food, which isn't taxed in any state. Civilized states (mostly the ones not NY) also don't tax clothing.
Kind of a straw man, right? Because first, we have to assume a world-wide apocalypse rather than a regional disaster or simple political or social upheaval. Second, we have to assume that all technology is lost and that it's not possible to leave recovery instructions in another format, like the record cover on the Voyager probes.
The article extrapolates that 'If the entire West Antarctic ice shield were to flow into the Ocean, this would lead to a global rise in sea level of around 3.3 meters.' Goodbye Florida.
And if all the natural gas in the earth were to spontaneously combust, we would all be incinerated.
The way I handle this is to ask people if they think that Cuba's government is left-wing. Then I ask them if Nazi Germany was right-wing. If they say yes to both, then I know their "political spectrum" is basically the useless one that just has different kinds of authoritarian governments on it. The one that matters goes from authoritarian on one end to anarchist on the other.
There is no priority, other than a later amendment can be ratified to explicitly repeal an earlier one (or part thereof, or a part of the original Constitution). There is nothing magical about this; amendments become part of the Constitution and amendments are the only way to modify any part of the Constitution.
Putting a gun in the hands of a toddler is a straw man. You could put any dangerous thing in the hands of a toddler; that does not mean that thing should be prohibited.
If he's running toward me with a baseball bat, it's a big issue. If he's running toward me with a box cutter, it's a big issue. If he's running toward me with no weapons, but I'm an elderly person in a wheelchair, it's a big issue.

Investments move the economy. I'm not sure why that is considered evil.
Then you should be railing against your state, or moving out.
And the poor pay 0 federal tax, or even get a few grand back, while the "rich" (everyone who makes more than you) pay 10-40% of their income. So?

We don't need highways? That's news to, like, the entire world.

Yeah... a Christian fundamentalist is going to complain about pantheism not being respected. Definitely.
In the USA, it would only be entrapment if the bot brings up the topic of sex on its own.
I'm not sure that would work. There are already Japanese dating games, but we still have pedos.
Wait until you try Intercal's version.

I'm sure you've been waiting a long time to make that joke, but if I received rooster meat in a restaurant I'm pretty sure I'd send it back.
Gee, that "contract" thing is what I thought LGBT people were so angry about. I guess some animals are more equal than others.
What lies? Those facts appear to be correct.

That's a chronology, not a hierarchy. The 21st explicitly repeals the 18th. This is not hard to understand.
I'm sure that being "shunned" will keep them from robbing or raping.
I handle that issue by keeping the gun on my person. Oops, leftists rail the most against the carrying of firearms.

Police officers also have children.
I already used up all my mod points. Sorry!
