Theoretically, it would matter to someone who wants to know what sorts of things her hard-earned dollars are funding.

This may be true but I doubt you can track your own dollars to their final destination, for instance whether you are funding healthcare or the droning...

Certainly as little as is required. But absent any sort of audit of where the tax money goes I fear that the question of how much tax money is require...

I'm beginning to get the impression that the claim "people vote against their own interests" is always levied against people who vote differently than...

But this is a blatant straw man. I clearly did not say that. I suppose evasions and dodging is the best approach given the sheer emptiness of your cla...

That’s not what I said, but I doubt accuracy is paramount here. It’s my money; I earned it; I know best what to do with it. It’s really that simple. I...

Why won’t you lay out why X is not in my best interest but Y is? Are you opting out of the conversation, and thus a lost cause?

Because you cannot defend your claim.

That’s not true. I just don’t get how it is against my interests to vote for lower taxes when I am interested in paying less taxes.

Because it’s my money, not theirs.

Because I prefer to pay less money to the government.

I don’t get how it is against my interests to vote for lower taxes when I am interested in paying less taxes.

Our preferences grow and alter with the rest of us. If our actions are determined by our preferences, then our actions are determined by us. I don’t u...

You repeated the same lie. Perhaps a little skepticism moving forward?

I was claiming the headline was false, fake news. I would also claim that what Trump said was true. Democrats have distorted and politicized coronavir...

I get tired of you parroting whatever the DNC wants you to. I tire of you lamenting a dystopian future that never arrives. How can you look at yoursel...

That’s right. He did not say Coronavirus is Democrats' 'new hoax'. So why would the NYT say that? But yes, the Democrats have politicized the issue. T...

The point is it isn’t wrong to expect other countries to hold up their end of the bargain.

Did he or did he not say Coronavirus is the Democrat’s new hoax?

19 NATO members that have not met the 2% GDP spending goal set at the 2014 NATO summit, which was before Trump arrived. So were they lying?

No one. Elections don’t occur on social media. What we’re seeing is the democratization of information. People no longer run to the gatekeepers of the...

Maybe the rest of the world should get used to paying their fair share. Working together requires partnerships, not dependants.

Did trump say that? No. But anti-Trumpers like to believe what they’re told. Trump has taken drastic measures a while ago, long before Democrats start...

Maybe their countries are just used to getting a free ride, bleeding America dry, and like any addict is getting frustrated that their supply is dwind...

Right in the title of the New York Times video.

Just like they did in the 70's and 80's. Still waiting, I suppose.

Trump never said the Coronavirus is a hoax. But I guess the Times has a low opinion of its readers.

The tentative end of America’s longest war is on the horizon. U.S.-Taliban sign landmark agreement in bid to end America's longest war This is what ha...

Is that how you treat all politicians, like a doctor giving medical advice?

I think of all the times people have predicted an apocalypse and their claims were never realized. People cannot predict the future. So when someone b...

I’m not so certain I’d go so far as anarchism, but I tend in that direction. Definitely anti-statist. Mostly my guiding principle is liberty and freed...

I mean that others could not do what Trump is doing under this pressure, and I accused those who write in British English of wanting Sanders to become...

It’s like pointing out Hitler made good roads, and therefor “it’s unfair to simply say everything is bad“. It’s just a stupid comment. Then again, I’m...

Well, we’ve all been raised to believe the government will fix our problems, so it’s probably true that people will not collectively mobilize until it...

Well, I’d go further and say I oppose government intervention in general. I don’t think we need it to tackle climate change. I do believe that humans ...

What’s stopping you from protecting the environment, providing solutions and providing the services you demand of government? What’s stopping you from...

If there is no socialism in Bernie then why does he call himself a democratic socialist? It boggles the mind. He's either wrong or he's a socialist. S...

You don’t need a government to phase-out an industry or to make it better or to innovate. I think change is welcome, just not from the rule of a gover...

I oppose any Green New Deal because it is uniquely authoritarian and statist. At the outset I disagree with the premise that “it is the duty of the Fe...

Why is it only pantywaists who are offended by it?

Bernie is an avowed socialist. Straight from the horse’s mouth. That was my only point. You don’t have to look at the countless other leaders and stat...

There’s no need to get salty, comrade.

Collective bargaining isn’t the same as government-enforced minimum wage laws, is it?

You forgot Venezuela, Cuba, North Korea, East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Cambodia, many of which are failed states or in the process of failing. Iraq, S...

No, I do have a problem bringing those policies to the US. But mostly I have a problem with Bernie’s statist policies, which differ in many respect to...

I never even hinted at such proposition.

I always use the common definition: social control of the means of production. A socialist state is a state that explicitly seeks to achieve this end....
