I need to move to his neighborhood.
Yeah but the people bring this on themselves. You vote for Democrats you get effed in the butt. It’s a simple equation yet people keep practicing it every election cycle like crack addicts to crack.
“Alex, I’m going to go with ‘Maniac, Not Patriot’ for $400.00.”
I propose a $20 tax on anyone who claims they are "keeping it real".
I’m going with “maniac.” Waving a gun at Dante and Randal isn’t the way to protest the tax on pop (or junk food, etc). It accomplishes nothing positive, and plays right into the left’s meme of “gun owners are nuts.”
As for “sin taxes”...meh. It irritates me that the nanny state wants to tax pop, smokes, etc. as a tool of social intervention. But I also have the option of opting out of paying that tax by skipping on the junk food, smokes, etc.
I’m bothered far more by the taxes I *can’t* avoid, and are squandered by Beltway Boys of both parties who answer the question “how much should we give” with “more, more, more!”
/CCR reference.
The sin tax is a perfect example of the liberal mindset. They punish to control behavior. They can’t make the poor wealthier, so they punish the rich. They can’t make the healthy produce cheaper, so they raise the price on junk food. They can’t make the dumb kids smarter, so they lower the requirements and standards for all students. It goes on and on in everything they do.
By the way, there should be no marginalizing or condoning the actions the man took. Pulling out a gun over a tax is WRONG. Had he been in any number of other big cities in red states, he may have been shot by other patrons.
Threatening a store clerk with a gun just because he charged tax. What a maroon. Nahshon Shelton does not sound like the sharpest tack in the box.
The politicians Nahshon, the politicians. Not the clerks. sheesh.
I will bet you anything Nashon voted Democrat and for those who believe in taxes on items like soda.
Nashon, try voting libertarian or such next election.
Let him move to NYC; everything there has a ‘sin tax’ on it. He’ll last 15secs before his head explodes. Mayor DeCommie will drive him nuts.
What a maroon.
The dude needs a Soda Stream.
we had a revolution over a 3% tax on tea
on principal alone, there should never be any tax exceeding 3% on any food or beverage
and now that I think about it, I thought food was one of those things they weren’t ‘supposed’ to tax (yea, that ship sailed a long time ago)
Nahshon?
Nahshon?
Nah, couldn’t be one of bummers sons. Sounds too German.
Pulling guns on convenience store owners is a no-no and no I don't want a jury nullifying the law to save his rear.
Don't like the laws? Then take it up with the elected who pass them, and convince voters of your positions using arguments.
Definitely prosecute this guy.
