Why don’t Enzi and his scum-sucking, tax-licking, big government-humping fascist RINO turncoats just become democrats and spare us the pretense?
It’s just not FAIR that people are buying things over the Internet and not paying taxes!!
...who enjoy spending other peoples' money.

Unbelievable! no wait. Yeah, it’s believable.
All of the corruptocrats eager to kill the internet.
I don’t want to pay these vile whores one more damn cent for anything.
