most of you know where I disagree. But. I think this woman's work is important and "we" suck at getting the word out.

    Your inapplicable ranting replies are annoying.

    I was replying to the last bit of Xthinker's post, the Heinlein quote.

    Please go rant behind someone else

    Here's the next step in the cycle of economic repression fuel tax. We went through inflation , devaluation, repudiation of debt, the threat of enhanced and added embedded taxes, and a minimum wage increase. Remember the wage price spiral? The next one up to bat is increase in fuel tax. Government raises the fuel tax, the industry collects it for them and as before charges for the costs of collection. Only the end user pays the freight. Either at the pump or in other costs and that drives up the sales tax. Ever notice how sales tax is a tax on all the other taxes not just the product or service?

    So 99 cents in 1999 per gallon goes up and hen shoots up during the government sponsored phony recession. Three or Four dollars a gallon in some places. But let's call it three.. Texas oil field strike forces the price down to two dollars a gallon. Wow isn't the great!? No it isn't. It means fuel tripled in ten years and then was forced down by market pressures to only doubled.in fifteen years. Meanwhile you are adding on sales taxes and using devalued earnings to pay the freight. End of story How much in 1999 dollars is that two dollar a gallon gas costing you AFTER income taxes etc.

    No need to compute government liked that boost in fuel taxes and all they have to do is nudge it up a little. No big deal maybe a nickle a year every year for three or five years or ten years? That's two and half cents a year every year easy. Sales tax revenues go back up everything goes back up not to produce and deliver fuel to your auto mo bubble or a better product.... or more service....just for taxes. one cost drives another and another and another.

    Let's see we raised minimum wage how about a small nudge across the board for income tax? maybe one percent for the bottom half, two percent for the next 25% and five percent for the top 25%? Every year for three years....

    The future Prez can always look sheepish and say I think I raised your taxes too much. Notice they never lower them too much or any much.

    Food tax....No? food has to be transported, processed, delivered to the store. All those employees just had their prices go up just a smidgeen here and dash there. How is your food costs not going to go up?

    Clothing,

    Housing,

    Clean water

    Cost of installing sewers....

    Not to worry long before then we'll have Great Depression II and III. It is after all a cycle, a circle with no end, a spiral....

    We're just shy of 19 trillion in debt By the time Obeyme is exbominated it wil be 20 trillion.

    What's your buying power going to look like then?

    Sometimes they don't think things through and it gets them in hot water but it shows what they are willing to accept to get to the top. That speaks to character. The first question I would ask Cruz is the proper name for Cuba Libre's and were his parents or who ever from Cuba Batistianos. There are, like anywhere else, Cubans and there are Cubans. Just as their are Mexicanas and there is Representative Sanchez....as I recall she had not problem with a Euro-American name until she needed votesd. Ever since I've thought of her as La Gringa.

    I was not aware Cruz was supporting the VAT. I will look at that.

    I'm fully aware and agree on the tax issues.

    You critiqued my post for failing to include "cites and sources," and meanwhile provided none yourself. Vomiting numbers and statements is not the same thing as giving cites and sources.

    As for police officers' illegal behavior, it's irrelevant to the point whether their killing of a person is afterward labelled justified and legal, which it most often is, even when extremely fishy. I was talking sheer numbers. If you really need a citation on how many Americans are killed by terrorists vs. law enforcement, try here: http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2014/0... You'll learn, in addition, that "Approximately 1,000 Americans die each year from autoerotic asphyxiation. So you’re 59 times more likely to kill yourself doing weird, kinky things than at the hands of a terrorist."

    Apparently, in your opinion, I'm the only person here who must address another person's point without raising any of my own, must provide definitions for every common word I use, and must provide "cites and sources" for every statement. Why is that?

    To repeat myself Cruz along with Rand are supporting a VAT or Pelosi tax which in fact is itself a farce. The idea is to show they are doing something or supporting something to lower taxes and it does no such thing. In fact it raises taxes

    Pelosi wants it full treatment with no adjustment in income tax.

    Start with how much you have to spend in after tax dollars. Now add an additional embedded tax on every service performed or item made for sale. We already have that, each and every step of the way from tree to axe handle from mine to axe head and if you hire a professional tree trimmer add in all his embedded costs. State, Local and Federal Taxes, Medical and unemployment insurance, Social Security. For each and every employee who had anything to do with that axe arriving in your yard plus that of the dude who swings it and oh yes liability insurance. If he stays in a motel there's room tax. If he buys gas that too. If he eats in a restaurant another tax and on top of the sales tax every step of the way. Business routinely pay those taxes and collect the rest adding the cost to a column COG Cost of Government. Pelosi and now Cruz and Rand in support wants to add yet another tax every step of the way. I see no Value Added I see Value subtracted.

    Any tax, fee, or whatever paid by a business is passed on the consumer. Even if it's just the cost of collecting the tax for the government.

    You the end user purchaser pay the entire freight so tell me, or better yet ask Cruz just how transferring that payment through business to your bill at the grocery store is a good thing instead of an 'evil' thing.'

    Dinos or socialists are supported by Rinos and some Republicans support that whole charade.

    Cruz and Rand are not Libertarians or whatevers they are Republicans who at the least enable the Rinos , the Dinos and the progressives..At your expense.

    What you see is what they want you to see. What you hear is what they want you to hear. This time they let the cat out of the bag with all it's fleas. Tough... They hung themselves I don't vote for left wing socialist corporatist/statists no matter what label they pretend to wear.

    Cruz hung himself...let him dangle alone twisting slowly in the win

    That still leaves Carson, Fabio, Forino and the top tier of RINOS. Unitl the bimbo brigade comes to town.

    Cease enabling
    Take Control
    Make Change.

    In that order. so what next. I've posted one idea all over the place. But it takes cooperation and we're in short supply in the center of political a discourse standing around the remnants of hte Constitution. We're in short supply of cooperation but we have plenty of couch potatoes

    Thanks for you reply.

    I could not argue with the points you make. I see Rand as you do but not Cruz. I see Cruz as a small government constitutionalist. Is he perfect? No. I'd like to hear why you see him as you do. And who do you see as the best candidate to solve the problems that have been created over the last century.

    I agree power with the people as long as it meets the Constitution. We are a republic, not a democracy.

    I'd like to hear your definition as to why anarchist are the sole occupants but I assume it's because they are the only believers in no government.

    I did. That's a fair riposte. My definition in this particular case is anyone left of center. Center is the Constitution NOT the center of the left. Left starts with RINO supporters Rinos and goes through to Secular Progressives for one major reason. ALL of them starting with Cruz and Rand support a political philosophy which says,, Government Over People. From that stems a century of wrongdoing. At the center are those who believe in a different philosophy of government - Citizens over Government with government as temporary servants. Extremists to the left National and International Socialism including closely followed by Secular Progressives. Extremists in the other directions - Anarchists. Who populates the space in between? Mostly people who have one foot in the center if not two. What is there claim to fame? Citizens ARE or should be the source of power. Short version. Also makes it easier to explain why most Republicans are Rinos. The rest just falls into place.

    Wrongdoers to me are any one who votes for the left. Other words for that are 'enabling enemies domestic.' Now do you know why anarchists are the sole occupants of the extremist right? i marked you up to two thumbs.

    Let's see that excludes most of Northern Africa from the Congo up, all of the Middle East to India, reneging on the deal with Kurdistan and now leaving them in the lurch once again it would appear, a huge presence in Turkey which in the end bought us nothing, The Adriatic and Black Sea Area intact, east to the Pakistan border with India leaves a few of the -istans.

    North of India we've not had much truck with them east of India that excludes Bangla and a few others along the Indian Border ...so how about Indonesia? No. we screwed over them too. and finally that little pipsqueak place Inbetween Indonesia and Philippines and the southern philippines. in the Red Sea and NW Arabian Sea and the entire coast of the Arabian Peninsula. So what we end up with Maybe Kuwait, maybe Dubai and maybe Fujahrah...ahh yes we haven't been in Palestine, didn't support Lebanon but then I can't remember when we ever did that was Russian territory for the most part. The Caucausus Mountain region no. Albania no... and that old crap about American LEA will get you nothing but a powerful rebuke. and it goes like this.

    The amount of US Law Enforcement engaged in illegal activities across the entire spectrum of crime is 1 to 1.5% of of the 800,000 people employed in LEA. Here is the part that will kill you with laughter.....the amount of general population citizens involved in illegal activities across the entire spectrum of crime is...wait for it. Exactly the same percentage. 1-1.5% averaging out in both cases to one percent across the board IF you don't count the US Congress.

    So much for that comment.

    The use of 'the; more interesting question' is a re-framers trick to change the subject to one of their own choosing. Didn't work.


    Which leaves you with a question or two or three to answer since you posed them. You should have done due diligence on and came in with some sort of facts to too include definition of enraged unwelcome ande abusive presence which you conveniently left dangling like a participle. As to how many have they killed of other religions? Define other religions. Shia killed 80,000 sunni Kurds, 210,000 sunni Arabs in Iraq alone.

    How much of a threat are Muslim's significantly less than secular progressives who routinely send our military out to fight their wars and the death ratio there since the end of WWII is 18 to 1. That is changing slowly as it denoted 18 when a Democrat started the fight to 1 when a republican started the fight, beginning in Greece in the late 1940's. Any decent almanac including the Times has that under the war time casualty listings as Killed. that's a ratio that hasn't changed using just that one standard.

    So what is your chance of being killed by American law enforcement? You failed to mention that as well.

    Notice how I used cites and sources? Not just urban myth propaganda ah yes the 1% figure. Came from the Cato Institute.

    Go back to school use google and Wikpedia for starters and start over. You must learn as I had to this is not a web site the unprepared.

    When you do figure it out I would be happy to see them posted WITH cites and sources and unspun for you see spin is just another word for deceit.

    One more point 'our military' excluding the rest of the Western World which now includes all of Eastern Europe?

    Words have meanings....my current family physician was a member of a Spetsnaz unit and he is a citizen of the USA.

    I was not reframing. I just didn't understand your definition of wrong doers which I believe was my first question of you. My answers to your other comments are all over this site too. In the spirit of your statement you can search out the answers.

    The more interesting question, to me, is: how often have Muslims who weren't trained and funded by our government, and/or weren't enraged by our military's unwelcome and abusive presence in their countries, killed people of other religions within this century? My risk of being killed by a Muslim terrorist is less than my risk of being killed by American law enforcement. The point being that government and complicit media want me to believe that Muslims are a huge threat, but reality tells me otherwise.

    They all start with an inconsistent premise, so all the rest don't matter. They are edifices built in a swamp.

    You too? My wife of that time couldn't believe I had said that. She only knew me in my Smoke Bomb Hill personae and as the guy who parachuted onto her Daddy's farm and with a team mate raided the family of both their daughters.

    He did come to think of it.

    Question? Did the inconsistencies in the Christian religion come before or after the splitting into well... to be sure they have about as many sub groups etc. than pages in the bible.

    Question? Did the inconsistencies in the Islamic Religion come before or after the splitting - if iI remember some 2 major and 81 or more minor pieces.

    How does that square with the last second repenting story which I recall was anytime up until death but certainly not after death?

    There is a fundamental difference- in Judaism and Christianity one may attain paradise after death. In Islam, one attains paradise through death.

    Not really you need to stay on topic and answer the questions? What is a right wing extremist? Define Constitution. No reframing. Because that's is your third question. My answers are all over this site. Where's yours?

    Christianity though has it's Platoesque escape hatch but unlike Plato's it applies to everyone. My now deceased father put it this way. "Doesn't matter what you do in life as long as you take the pledge one second before dying. So that's my plan."

    So his brother who is a minister said, "But are you truly repenting? "

    The dad unit said, "Hell Yes why take chances?!"

    According to my sister and the hospital staff that is exactly what he did
