  4. foundation on New York Passes Landmark Gun Law · · Score: 2

    just came here to make a few points. "That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness." from the deceleration of independence http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/declaration_transcript.html and, "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." 2nd amendment. the WHOLE point was a) to be able to defend from {Europe,India,Africa,unknown} and b) so that when the government gets to broken we can use guns, in the hands of regular citizens to push the reset button. Tell me this, with all the restrictions like above, how are you supposed to go against an M1 Abrams tank, or an F-22? you know the best funded military in the world 7 times over. "You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass." It has been declared this attribution is "unsubstantiated and almost certainly bogus, even though it has been repeated thousands of times in various Internet postings. There is no record of the commander in chief of Japan’s wartime fleet ever saying it. However the sentiment holds true, and without something like the new Red Dawn movie to "Magically" take out all the infrastructure. I can understand the need for some semblance of gun control i guess. would not want children cruising the streets with them. but why should they be that much different that they you get cigarets or alcohol?

    and also, most of that comes out as "taxes" , 'social security and medicare, disability insurance, life insurance, unemployment insurance', you would pay some portion of for any employee. the actual $ amounts change but the % is set. this is nice " Benefits include retirement (10% of salary)" but for someone making 35k/yr, is it really going to provide meaningful retirement when they are 65-70 ? ( hint : no). And, "health insurance (>$300 a month even for an individual if you're providing decent insurance)" Which in the USA, insurance is just crazy. single payer FTW. granted there is a cost for insurance. granted it is generally cheaper for the end user to buy from company than source on their own. But by and large, all of these , you would provide for any/all employees. someone freelance would pay the above taxes in some form or another, could make 2-5x the 35k so the 10% retirement would be a bigger $ amount.
