Yes. They do. Ever been to Europe?

Several times. They have the same homeless problems we have?

"According to FEANTSA & Foundation Abbé Pierre estimations in their 4th Overview of Housing Exclusion in Europe, at least 700,000 homeless people are sleeping rough or in emergency/temporary accommodation on one night in the European Union. It is an increase of 70% compared to ten
years ago.

Over the last ten years, the number of homeless
people has increased at an alarming rate in almost
all European Union countries: broadly speaking, this
increase has led to the explosion in the number of
people needing emergency shelter."

The party that does nothing but whine about how racism and xenophobia and misogyny

There is no whining. there is simply acknowledgement, and wanting to improve the situation.
Unless you think racism and xenophobia and misogyny are no longer issues.

How about provide some examples of how any of these things have been used recently to deny Americans their rights?

Oh come now. Don’t you realize those who actually are causing our misery must point their finger at someone else to take the heat off of themselves.

Once again, I’m questioning the need for government to provide a bunch of services but I’ve said flat out that I don’t want government in bed with corporations to the largest extent possible. It creates a money laundering scheme that hurts everyone except those in power and those few companies. Where we have to outsource to private companies, I want VERY public bids and no less than 3 or 4 so we all have visibility of the process.

If the government doesn’t provide the services… then corporations do.

That would mean that the tax money gets funneled to private interests.

That wouldn’t get rid of corporate influence in government, it would make it much much worse.

That doesn’t even make sense. If corporations provide the services, there is no need for taxes.

It ALWAYS works.

Nope. Not always. You shouldn’t make stupid categorical claims like that. If it always worked, you wouldn’t find lots of instances of people around the world who pushback against it.

I’ll go further than that. Most of Europe was laissez-faire in the 1800s, now none are because it panned out so poorly that people got rid of it. Laissez-faire failed the market test.

I was responding to his stupid claim that it never works. Free markets are the ONLY system that have ever worked to improve the quality of life for the average person. As to the 1800’s, I think you might want to go back and study history a bit more. #1. They didn’t “get rid” of free market systems, they still exist and are the driving force behind every successful European economy. What you see is a transition to having done SO well that they have accepted more government involvement in trying to get rid of the remnants of poverty and it’s turned into a system where it’s profitable to be lazy.

Socialism is a failure and lightly regulated capitalism is a success. History proves me right. Why people still argue for the system that has allowed governments the power to murder or starve more than 100,000,000 people in the last 100 years is beyond me. It’s just idiotic.

Of COURSE it’s the Conservative way. We believe in the Constitution and the founders intent. They wanted the PEOPLE to be in charge, not some giant government bureaucracy. Funny enough, you just threw a fit (and rightfully so) over government being in bed with corporations. That’s not free market, that’s closer to Socialism. If government controls the means of production, they effectively OWN that means of production.

Real nice of you to privatize public land without my consent, destroying some of my freedom in the process.

Real nice of you to confiscate wages that I earn without my consent and redistribute my money to people who didn’t earn it, destroying my economic freedom in the process.

Privatize the commons.

Exactly what I said.

Yeah… that would be no poorly and would be a transfer of wealth from the taxpayer directly to the rich.

You mean like you guys transfer our wealth to the poor?

What is “cool” is, it makes everyone pay their “fair share”, which is an equal share, in financing the functions of government.

JWK

Compelling the labor of those who can’t afford to get out of doing it.

Oh, to the contrary as was upheld in the Short case and the able bodied required to pay an equal share… Why do you have such a problem with all able bodied paying an equal share?

JWK
If, by calling a tax indirect when it is essentially direct, the rule of protection [apportionment] could be frittered away, one of the great landmarks defining the boundary between the nation and the states of which it is composed, would have disappeared, and with it one of the bulwarks of private rights and private property. POLLOCK v. FARMERS’ LOAN & TRUST CO., 157 U.S. 429 (1895) JUSTICE FULLER

Well, look at this. Mr. Strict Constructo-Originalist johnwk is telling us that the judges can change the meaning of words.

Oh, but I have been pointing out this type of malfeasance since the 1980’s. What is your point?

JWK

What makes a Supreme Court opinion legitimate is when it is in harmony with the text of our Constitution and its documented legislative intent which gives context to its text.

Irrelevant You’re deny it’s slavery/compelled labor like a good little Winston and point to a court case as evidence of it not being compelled labor.

No. It’s making every able-bodied person contribute an equal share to finance the functions of government. Your absurd thinking suggests mandatory taxation to support the functions of government is an evil thing. But hey, I do know their are many who just love riding on the free cheese wagon at other peoples’ expense.

JWK

let us not forget during the coming election what the Authoritarian Democrat Party Leadership has done to our businesses, our families, our children and our homeland.

We get it.

Those who are too poor to simply pay are forced to labor to pay off their debt.

Nothing can go wrong there.

Not at all. If they’re receiving food and board who do you think SHOULD pay for it?

[Optrader]

@Samson_Corwell

@johnwk2

So, your definition of a slave master are the ones who enforce taxation. Got it.

Forced labor is slavery. Taxation is NOT forced labor. Or do you need a dictionary, Mr. Income-Tax-is-not-a-Tax-on-Income?

How the hell do you think people pay their taxes if they don’t labor for it?

That was the intention of the Democrat Party Leadership working to get the 16th Amendment adopted.

It is now used, and unconstitutionally I might add, to lay and collect a direct un-apportioned tax on the property earned by the sweat of your labor, while it allows those who have money working for them to avoid contributing into the federal treasury by clever definitions of “taxable income”.

The Democrat Party Leadership even got Disney to produce a propaganda piece suggesting it was unpatriotic to avoid the “temporary” Victory Tax, which today, in effect, is still collected from your earned wages under an un-apportioned “direct tax” on the property you earn by the sweat of your labor!

“The property which every man has in his own labor, as it is the original foundation of all other property, so it is the most sacred and inviolable. The patrimony of the poor man lies in the strength and dexterity of his own hands; and to hinder him from employing this strength and dexterity in what manner he thinks proper, without injury to his neighbor, is a plain violation of this most sacred property.” ___ Butchers’ Union Co. v. Crescent City Co., 111 U.S. 746 (1884)
