Free Republic

The core problem is the spending.

The more spent, the more they need to come up w/hairbrained schemes to increase taxes, like bags taxes, etc..

Income taxes came about to fund wars.

That’s gonna one set of f’d up kids.

I doubt how unique this type of “fingerprint” is. Same goes for ballistics.

They will refuse to call him a socialist terrorist.

I’m still stuck on the previous question:

Should government be allowed to provide insurance?

To which my answer is no.

This precludes me from answering the current question.

p.s.

BTW, check the address the letter is requesting the Sched A is to be sent to and make sure it corresponds to their IRS service center as indicated in the 1040 instructions.

It could be that the ID theft folks are trying to get some info from them.

Accountant will know address to use anyway, but it would help the cops if the request is bogus and you give them the letter.

There’s a line on the 1040 that says to enter the itemized deduction OR the standard deduction.

So if the number there is not the standard deduction, they presume there should be a sched A apparently.

Have accountant send it.

They won’t get dinged for it.

Getting out of the eu will be comparable to us getting out of commie care.

Democrats are getting as bad as they were in the days of Lincoln. Today, there’s a threat we’ll reduce the number of socialist slaves.

If it blows no one will survive for long.

Not worth spending a single tax-cent for this.

Pre-planning for moves means US paying out for it now.

I remember when the Palestinians had kidnapped that fox news reporter Steve Centanni.

At one point they had put out video showing he was unharmed. He was in someone’s house and the wife was there in the background doing chores or what not.

To say the “families” of terrorists are innocent is absurd.

We already have a long standing infrastructure promise - the federal excise tax on gas and diesel.

Trump should be making sure those funds are being used properly before piling on.

Taxing guns this way is like putting in a poll tax.

Slightly off topic, I always wondered about the concept of “jury by peers”. No where else in the constitution is “peers” used and words do seem to be important in that document as to be understood by laymen.

Note that it does not say a jury of “citizens”. A peer is someone of equal standing as I understand it.

So, for example, if you’re trying a financial crime, shouldn’t the members comprising a jury have some understanding of finance?

Using actual “peers” might be something that effectively achieves tort reform. People understanding insurance and medicine, for example, might not be so inclined to grant big awards for trivial circumstances or be able to differentiate honest mistakes from bona fide negligence or fraud.

“will free up”

Yeah, right. A bunch of cars doing EXACTLY the speed limit all over.

Will be worse than when the school buses are out.

I’m curious as to the unwritten real story here.

Someone owned that property. That someone would be liable for the cost of clean up (expensive, thanks to EPA).

Now it’s on the taxpayer dime.

So, let me get this straight - someone’s tweets about a law can get a law thrown out.

Can we use this methodology to get rid of commie care?

Just have someone in office tweet out something like, “yup, it’s not a tax, we just felt it was time to stick it to white people. We wanted to screw those Catholics too.”

Job done.

You can’t MAGA with socialism either.

Already screwed w/commie care piled on existing socialist programs.

You’re still buying into the premise that there is a problem. Take it back some steps further.

1) Climate is not static. Never has been, never will. The hysteria over change is comparable to “warning” everybody that the sun will go away tonight, and without the sun we will all freeze to death, etc., without ever mentioning that the sun comes back in the morning.

2) Warmer is better, not worse. In case you haven’t noticed, life depends on water. More liquid water, more life. Compare the amazon jungle to the antarctic. Antarctica is considered a desert because the water is frozen up. Warmer world means more liquid water. Which environment seems more amenable to life to you?

3) Based on past cycles, you would actually expect it to get warmer. What you are also not told is that we are still in an ice age. Geologists define that as ice at sea level, 24x7x365. Current ice age is 4 million years old. Within ice ages are “glaciations” where the ice advances significantly. The last maximum was wooly mammoth time about 15k years ago. There have been 60 such glaciations this ice age, identifiable geologically by moraine layers. So, based on that maximum and the average cycle of 66k years, half cooling, half warming, we would be 15k years into a 33k year warming cycle.

Finally, also do not buy into the premise that we can do something about it. We can change the climate about as easily as we can change earth’s orbit.

When I was younger, I used to think I was “hearing voices” until one day I realized it was just the dog talking.
