Go away, little troll. I don’t do intellectual battle with unarmed opponents.

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

I want it too! Can you please share?

Ma'am, it'd be my honor to do so! ;)

[Little Ray]

People have been over that. There are other factors that make the d@mn things so expensive. It isn’t graft (mostly).

[SoldierDad]

And yet mysteriously we had a military before the income tax. How did they do that?!?

And todays military is every bit the same as that which was first utilized when this country was first formed, isn't it? What a stupid comment. But, oh, wait, that's all we can expect from those who support this moron.

Baloney

While you have commendably provided a title for your argument, you have neglected to supply the argument itself.

[NCSteve]

What a stupid comment.

Yes, your comment was pretty stupid. Do you have any idea when the income tax came into being?

[EternalVigilance]

They have remedial reading comprehension classes at most of the community colleges. You might want to avail yourself of their services.

[SoldierDad]

Do you have any idea of how unimportant your question is relative to the issue of todays military? I wish you people would use the brains God gave you to do your own thinking.

You brought it up, Goober. You were the one who was trying to put musket balls and sabers into billbears' statement.

I wish you people would use the brains God gave you to do your own thinking.

Right back atcha, Sparky.

Have you even bothered to look into whether some other taxation method, like excise taxes on interstate commerce or value-added taxes would be sufficient to fund the military-industrial complex? If not, then you have no room to accuse anyone of being unable to think for themselves.

[SoldierDad]

Oh, I see. Run Paul and his accolytes are not opposed to taxing people, just what the tax is called. It’s all a matter of semantics. Okay, now I understand the stupidity being bandied about.

[BlackElk]

You are incapable of intellectual argument in any event. As a libertarian, how could you become credentialed? I’ll compare my resume with yors any day and, besides, my views are a lot more consistent with those of this site than are those of libertoonian delkusionists. Four years from now, no one but Mrs. Paul and the shrimp lobbyists will remember paleoPaulie.

[NCSteve]

It’s all a matter of semantics.

If you actually believe that, then you are too far gone to waste my time.

Okay, now I understand the stupidity being bandied about.

Hello pot, have you met kettle?

Have a great life.

[billbears]

But, oh, wait, that's all we can expect from those who support this moron.

Yes because without the income tax, the government wouldn't even partially be able to raise the monies to fund the Armed Forces would they? I mean they don't collect sales tax, cigarette tax, gas tax, tariffs, etc.

The numbers are there, the government would do just fine without taxing my income as well. Tell you what though. Don't look at the numbers, just call names. It's safer for you and less work..

[DugwayDuke]

“And you ~Never~ really rebuted my arguments, with all due respect, Duke!”

You made no arguments. You merely asserted that: “Obviously the market could regulate health better than the government...”

That is nothing more than assuming the solution. Try making an argument next time.

[SoldierDad]

You make claims without substantiation, and then complain to me about name calling. No surprise here.

[SoldierDad]

Substantiation please!!!!!

[Calvinist_Dark_Lord]

Interesting spelling of endoursment.

Your point?

[Calpernia]

Many points. Quite poisonous too.

[Calvinist_Dark_Lord]

Many points. Quite poisonous too.

Then make your point(s).

Let us hope that they are more coherent than your usual comments.

[Calpernia]

Pretty purple points
