They said I was daft to build our capitol in a swamp, but I did it anyways. It sank into the swamp. I built it again, and it sank into the swamp, then I built it a third time. It flipped over, was sacked by the British, and then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one, the fourth one stayed up, and that's what you're going to get Hillary, the strongest capitol on this continent!
I wonder how much good that money would have done if it hadn't been stolen from the hands of the poor?
Libs tend to forget that tax money comes from somewhere, and in a super-poor nation like Brazil, it doesn't come from the middle class and it certainly doesn't come from the few super-rich.
It's hard to see the harm done to the future through government overspending, because you can't planeshift into a world where Brazilia was never built, but the damage is done none-the-less. You might get a nice shiny city of the future (that's a tossup, much of the time you will get an empty concrete jungle--see China), but people wind up starving in the rainforest, or being forced into a shantytown, or simply sacrifice a generation of economic progress.
If find your continuous use of contradiction in terms disturbing. I mark you for an arch-liberal. Only a liberal can twist terms to mean their opposite like that.
Worked pretty well when libertarians were in charge of the US. We went from a two-bit backwater to industrial superpower in about 40 years, and coasted pretty well for another 90 after that as we slowly but surely abandoned the policies that made our country into the single place for the tired and poor of the world to go in search of a better life that they could craft by their own hand with no need to fear a government big enough to give them everything they ever wanted.
But hey, the people on TV call them "crazy" so they must be crazy. No need to think for yourself, little one, let Big Brother do that for you. Just ignore the fact that everything they have been warning you about for years is being confirmed as true left and right.

If you have a central bank, you don't have democracy. You have elected officials who govern the small folk, and a cabal of central bankers who make the real decisions.
Also, in one of his Q&As, I seem to recall that Snowden said that encryption was secure from surveillance.
That said, fearmongering in this case is very, VERY good. Everyone needs to understand what the government has become, and through their fear, learn to either bypass it (encrypt EVERYTHING, from phone calls to commercial transactions) or overcome it (by casting down the two main parties and voting Libertarian or whatever you FIRST inclination is).
Nuclear non-proliferation is implicit endorsement of war and all the horrors that accompany it. Nuclear weapons have saved more lives than any other technology invented by man since they have been created. World Wars would still be happening every 1-2 decades were it not for them.
Except they do, and you are a liar. Not only are there other jobs, but you can also start your own business.
But then, with all these new labor and healthcare laws coming along to "help" us, you might be right about there only being one monolithic employer left in the nation. But of course, that isn't a free market, now is it?
You can cash checks for free at the issuing bank, you know. You don't NEED a bank account. It can just be convenient sometimes, but the price on those accounts has risen to the point that it isn't worth it.
Bullshit. Those fees used to be reasonable and perfectly manageable even for "idiots". The central banks have fucked up the financial systems so badly that they can't make any money any more, and have to use enormous fees to stay in business.
Better show some sympathy while you can. When the bail-ins come to this country, you will be in the same boat as all the other "idiots" who continued to trust a floundering banking system.
So you are blaming your employers for government policy (5 days until thrown out of the country, employer gets to breach contract on pay at will)?
It is the local government that has made you into a slave. Turning to a free association union might help, but the answer is most emphatically NOT to turn to a union run system where said unions use the government to put the chains onto the employers.
More pertinent is the question of whether such services would be required to get a taxi medallion, one of which costs a MILLION FUCKING DOLLARS.
If we didn't have gooberment regulating taxis to death, you might just be able to get around by taxi in NY for a $150 a month. Take out the driver, and the $30 price point might just be in reach. Especially if it is less of a taxi and more of a small, versatile bus.
And yes, the taxi companies will fight this, just like they fought FOR the high medallion costs--to cut out the competition. What's the word for that again? You know, where corporate and government power merge?

In practice, when conservatives gain political power, they just become mean liberals.

I wanna go the the amusement park that was supposed to be a strip club!

Royalists? Are you fucking kidding me?
But then, King George would seem positively small government by today's standards, so maybe you are right.

Yes, that goes for America as well.
Statistics 101.
But then, they didn't know about these fucking faggots like Frank here.
Yeah, or that stupid Jefferson guy.
You are really a disgusting, cringing little cockroach of a man, aren't you?
Or that's what they WANT you to think...

Uhh, pretty sure they don't do that, actually. If they did, no-one with any brains would end the year with the IRS owing them money.

Exactly. Contrary to popular belief, free markets don't let you commit fraud or steal. There are laws against that.

Anecdotal correlation is causation.

Because choosing the form of your destructor seems to be what you are proposing here.
Wow, that's the way you remember it, huh? Good Lord.
