Long term subtly tightening the grip of control over the masses~half of whom have been snake charmed into not even knowing it.
Consider the popular votes won by Al Gore and the Evil Hag.
It's unbelievable how so many millions remain blind to $hillary's beyond blatant for obvious corruption.

We have known something was wrong for quite some time, I think.
In my case, I knew the first time I heard about the income tax. This was not just a series of random coincidences. It has been a long term plan.

Me dino saw Carter with a clueless expression as he watched a bicycle turn into a broom while the Evil Hag rode both in a tornado funnel.
The tornado was a real Obamanation.

Been hearing the horror movie music for a while, Carter was the door creaking open and Obama was the ax murderer jumping out.

Don't know about you, but I came to that conclusion long before anyone had even heard of Obama.

Stole that from Trevor, if you havnt read his book, " Barack Obama and the Enemies Within" - it s an eye opener.

the people have been brainwashed, particularly the immigrants from socialist countries like in south america, into thinking that the government here can just "give" them stuff off the money tree. Its sad, but our politicians simply pander to them to get votes. Its too late for USA.

That had slipped my old dino mind.
Thanks a lot for pointing that out.

"The enemies are within."
Well said. Couldn't agree more, stars.

That the repeal bill that was voted on by all republicans and submitted to Obama on numerous occasions in 2015 and 2016 was not sent to Trumps desk right out of the gate tells us all we need to know. Term limits are the only solution. The enemies are within.

There is lots and lots of expensive stuff and nonsense our government can get out of.
And should.

When I took my little kids to see that movie, I recall telling them, "Hey, that movie is set in 1947. I was born that year."
The youngest one is now 30 and will turn 31 Wednesday this week.
Time seems to go by so fast.

I would like to see somebody in Washington act like a grownup and tell the people that it isn't the governments job to provide everything for everybody. We are already 20 TRILLION in debt. It is time for government to cut back and get out of everybody's business.

Kinky you old Dino!

This is what I prefer~

I prefer sex.

You are killing me ;)

I wear Fruit Of The Loom. Woo! Woo!
Should have added the state asking for sexual preferences.
No, here's a better one~ What's you favorite weird fetish?

I really like my Exficio underwear. So breathable!

It's a bit easier.
For the first time ever, Alabama wants the start and expiration dates of my driver's license on my state income tax return.
It just so happens that my driver's license expires at the end of this week. Or would have.
I went to get a new one today. After four years I'm all like "oh, yeah!" when I get a 30-day temporary one while I wait for the 4-year one to come in the mail.
I'll be mailing my fed and state on paper returns on April 5 due to my brother Joe's theory the recipients are too busy to look very hard for mistakes and stuff to audit.
So I guess I'll write the word "temporary" over the driver's license's expiration date.
Wonder what for stupid will the state want to know about me next~.
Do I have car insurance?
Is my car paid off?
Proof of birth?
My concealed carry gun permit?
Do I have fish and hunting permits?
What pets do I keep?
My favorite brand of underwear?

The question is whether or not it is competitive free trade or if the government of the trading partner is subsidizing the goods so as to make them win in a competitive market.

One can argue as Milton Friedman has said that it is actually a subsidy of consumers. And it certainly does that. The problem comes when the consumers are squeezed out of the labor market, or forced into lower paid markets. This can offset the subsidy and more. It only works if there is other comparable work available.

I bet the state portion is more manageable,

Yes, competitive free trade lowers costs for some funny reason a control freak RINO prefers to ignore.
(I replaced "libtard" with RINO, since such unpatriotic power-hungry pinheads is the bigger problem concerning the subject of this thread).

Yes!!

Rand Paul has a better Idea but the real problem that he and others are trying to solve comes from government involvement in Health care and Insurance and taxation and Social welfare. That is the root of the problem. Put all of it back into the competitive market and private charity.

Yes! Yes! Yes!
+ 1,000,000 if I could!
