Allow me to expound on this.

The government earns no money because it produces nothing.  All of its money is either taken directly from productive citizens or printed out of thin air which, again, amounts to taking it from productive citizens because it causes inflation, therefore causing citizens to pay more for things - another taxation in effect.

If you work and produce something, you are paid for your time and energy, which is a piece of your limited life. You are entitled to keep what you earn.  A very limited taxation to cover constitutionally allowed powers of government is necessary and reasonable (the ultra libertarian argument about voluntary taxation notwithstanding.)

We are now at the point where the average working and middle class earner loses anywhere from 40 to 70 percent of his earnings through direct and indirect taxation, some argue the real figure is much higher.  That is the percent of your finite time on earth that is taken from you by government.

You receive some benefit in the way of military protection from invasion, interstate commerce facilitation, and maintaining the constitutionally mandated institutions, such as the three branches of government.  Beyond that your benefits are vague, dubious and involuntary.  Or even worse, dangerously destructive.  Fed Gov spent decades telling us to eat high carb, low fat, and now we have a massive epidemic of obesity and diabetes. 

They spent OUR tax money promoting the food pyramid and subsidizing corn and wheat, only for it to make us fat and sick.

So my main cause is economic, and my enemy is the person who wants to tax me to give my money to the undeserving. You have a student loan you can’t pay back?  Not my problem!  You want to research tree frogs in the redwood forest?  Ask me for a voluntary donation, do not steal my money through government grants.

You are poor?  Cut loose the regulations stifling the economy so you can get a job.  Eliminate minimum wage.  Minimum wage causes unemployment disproportionately among the poor, the young, and minorities.  Ask me for a voluntary charitable donation.  But do not forcibly steal my money to feed someone else’s family, give them “free” cell phones, clean needles or whatever the hell.

I don’t really care what your opinion is on anything else. For or against gay marriage, for or against abortion, for or against mixed race marriages, for or against vaccines, for or against anything not involving my tax dollars, you’re fine by me.

But if being a leftist means you vote to take my earnings (the hours and days of my life) by force, through government, to redistribute to others, then we have a problem.

Not once did I see a classified TP requisition.

That's because it was classified far above your clearance.

Of course the President can declassify anything he want, but I can't speak to whether or not the President can issue such an order...

however, automatically declassifying materials would be a monumentally stupid thing to do...  unless you are one of the people that thinks we have waaaaaaaaay too much classified data and we should declassify everything.

We DO have too much classified. You think we don’t?

I think the classification system has given unprecedented and unwarranted power to the very bureaucracy that is benefitting from an increase in power over the peasants. It seems like everybody in FedGov has some kind of clearance these days.

Classification is not just used to classify when a nuke-ladened B-52 will be departing Guam. It’s being used to create POLITICAL shields for the very politicians and bureaucrats that would be embarrassed or arrested if such information came to light.

So yea, fuck it. Let’s declassify everything.

Right. If that’s true, it must have been so critical that it took the DOJ NINETEEN MONTHS to try to get them back. Seriously, Mike, you need to take a reality pill.

And Trump was in New York for his deposition when this raid happened. Further, his lawyers were there and demanded the search warrant, but were denied the opportunity to keep the document.

The sites Mikey goes to for his news don't tell folks that kind of stuff. 

Yeah, vaccines only knocked out Polio and Smallpox. They're not to be trusted.

The Covid jabs were NOT A VACCINE.  Talk to people with real medical knowledge and find out.

Where is the IRS getting money to buy arms, they haven't money to investigate tax fraud?  Successive GOP administrations have so badly neutered the IRS that I think you can get away with just about anything.  A pity, I've read for every dollar spent on the IRS 7$ in taxes are recovered.

So far as I know if the IRS really wants to collect taxes they call the Federal Marshals, who are most definitely and rather heavily armed.

In my 17 years as a Deputy U.S. Marshal I never once collect a tax. Did I arrest people who for years failed to pay taxes with a warrant drawn up with probable cause by a U.S. Attorney signed by a federal judge? Yes. But never did the IRS send us to collect taxes. The U.S. Marshal Service enforces court orders. If the court ordered us seize property or assests after due process in a tax matter, we did. But that is far from collecting taxes.

Liz Cheney got her feelings hurt by Trump, and is now pulling the levers of political power to get back at him.  I dare say she’s more vindictive than even Trump, and in doing so, has demonstrated the very stereotype that most feminists have argued doesn’t  exist.

She is willing to destroy her own career for a vendetta. And she and her dad are full of shit. This has NOTHING to do with the Constitution. You can’t change the English language and call a protest an “insurrection,” and contend the Constitution itself gives you cover from what otherwise in normal times would be called a political witch hunt.

A clearly inebriated woman, stark naked, jumped into a taxi in New York City and laid on the back seat.
 
The cab driver, an old Jewish gentleman, opened his eyes wide and stared at the woman.
He made no attempt to start the cab. The woman glared back at him and said,
"What's wrong with you, honey?  Haven't you ever seen a naked woman before?"
 
The old Jewish driver answered, "Let me tell you sumsing, lady.  I vasn't staring at you like you tink; dat vould not be proper"
 
The woman giggled and responded, "Well, if you're not staring at my boobs or my butt, sweetie, what are you doing then?"
 

He paused a moment, then told her, "Vell..... M'am, I am looking and I am looking, and I am tinking to myself, vair in da hell is dis lady keeping de money to pay for dis ride?"

 

Now, that's a businessman!
