In his counterculture Volkswagen repair manual, How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive: A Manual of Step-By-Step Procedures for the Compleat Idiot (1969), dropout aerospace engineer John Muir instructs prospective used VW buyers to “grok the car” before buying. ;-)

From Wikipedea, spelling mistake included. Writer no grok words. he he he.

Like taxing cigarettes and using the money for stop smoking campaigns. Eventually there will BE NO tax and no $$$. Liberal logic.

Just take away the benefits WE pay for and they would have no reason to come unless they truly want to integrate.

“...Make it a dime.”
******************
The sweet thing about this is that once the implementation mechanisms are set up, the rate can be upped from 2% to 10% (or any other figure) in a flash!

MAGA!

Common Core should mandate Orwell, Heinlein, Azimov, Rand and others.

“Sounds like a no brainer”

Which is why Democrats will fight it tooth-and-nail.

U say a minimum of 20% & I would like 50& even more. We need to stop this flow of money.

Make every single person getting ANY government benefits —citizen or otherwise—requalify for those benefits. Kick all the illegals off the benegit gravy rain.

They will leave.

A lousy 2 percent?!? If the remittances are by illegals—seize the whole enchilada!

You are still upset by that. I see nothing meaningful in this exchange. I don’t think the illegals have anything to fear. Their turn will come to be deported, and Sessions won’t hurt anybody..they’ll be loaded carefully into transport vehicles and will have a lunch and bathroom breaks all the way to the Rio Grande.

But put a sunset on it - for once a tax is levied- damn near impossible to get it unlevied

Exactly—10% is a good start, and then we’ll hope the volume being sent home shrinks dramatically as fewer and fewer illegals remain in the country.
