The one that makes my blood boil is the rule that you pass a law that does not allow anyone younger than 21 to drink a beer.
So we see these young men with no arms, no legs, a result of their volunteering to go to Afghanistan, unable to drink a beer even though they are encouraged to be killed....
But that is not manipulation by tax?
All states collect federal gas tax and various other road taxes, send it to DC but then are told to jump through hoops if they want to get any of it back.
But until now the federal gangsters have not had the power to shape our lives through taxation?
The taxation of the public and then the threat of withholding that tax from them has been one of the most dictatorial king-like powers of the federal government.
It's horrible; even moreso in that some are not "allowed" to own [hand-]guns at 18.
IOW, it's a clear case of age-based discrimination; instead of being based on age-of-minority/majority it's some random thing pulled out of law-maker's arses... and then people are supposed to respect the law?
