It's a game any one can play. Sooooooooooooooo.

I've got a new game to play. I'm going to set up a 'crowd fund' to provide one way tickets, and the transportation of personal goods, to the nation of choice of those so distraught over the election results that they just can't envision living in the US anymore.

Now, in order to qualify for this subsidy there are two rules;

1. You, and your family if moving as a group, must ALL renounce your US citizenship.

2. You have to have a destination nation that will accept you and provide evidence thereof.

I'm all about helping folks be happy.

...to the socialist in denial.

Oh, that's right. With the new Red Menace we're all commies.

You see no difference at all between giving an opportunity for people, if they wish to do so to volunteer their funds for crowd source funding, as opposed to using police power to extract resources from citizens to redistribute the others? You see no difference at all? Really? That might be your problem.

You make the same mistake that liberals here do when they think that they are being altruistic when they vote to take money from citizens for what they perceive to be altruistic purposes and give it to someone else. Voting to take someone else's money is not at all the same thing as your own charitable endeavors. I don't have the quote handy but Penn jillette said it best.

This is also largely the reason that conservatives in the United States reach into their own pockets at a far greater rate than liberals to help their fellow man. Liberals think all they have to do is vote for it and it's the same as doing it themselves with their own resources. Liberals are some of the selfish, greedy people on the planet.

Truly deplorable.
 
I cannot speak for the family. Those fuckers are on their own.

Book me for a couple of weeks in late February on the island that Rush was going to move to when Obama got elected the first time.

I will bring my own Oxy.

Thanks!

See, that's why mom likes you better than me...

:(

I'm so much meaner. I want them to stew in that which they created and enjoy them as they shrink their numbers with their hate-ray visions of racists behind each and every post.

Exile is way to good for this gaggle of "giggling" idiots.

They ain't giggling at us now!


:cool:

It's always hilarious to watch them brag about how the big blue enclaves keep sending net tax money to the vast red hinterlands while they scream about how we need higher taxes.

Consent vs force is a truly mind boggling concept for the left when it comes to money.

Sex they get it. Until you tell them socialism is rape and capitalism is sex between two consenting adults and they revert back into hysteria about how all the starvin' children will die if we don't take more taxes from people and give it to the super rich.

According to most of them you tax people into prosperity, freedom is bad!! Government oppression goooood!!

They never quite seem to grasp the paradox.

For most of them there is no paradox. They mostly vote to tax the producers, who then move to Texas or Tennesee.

One of the reasons I'm soooooooooo looking forward to seeing the CA succession vote pass.

Calm yer tits, pumpkin.

Are you against all taxation?

If not, you're a socialist the same way I am. It's just a matter of degree.

The math about which states pay more in taxes than they receive in benefits is wrong.

The new California Republic might be able to deficit spend but when you're calculating all of the money the federal government has an all of the money that the federal government spends you have to take into account that their spending is only 60% revenue and 40% debt and simple deficit spending.

A large chunk of that is spending on defense with defense contractors building things in California only because of 55 electoral college votes and several representatives in the house. A lot of horse-trading goes on.

If all those Industries aren't in California where labor costs are high and relocated somewhere else California plunges into a major depression and no longer is the economic Powerhouse that it is now.

If California continues to turn its farmland into desert thereby raising their mean average temperature which means more moisture is held in the air and the California returns to the natural desert that it was before farmland started to become irrigated in large quantities they also lose the only thing they really have which is good weather. They simply become Arizona with a nice Chinese owned port.

You're in no position to be condescending with your lack of insightful analysis here. Taxation is not the only test of socialism. Socialism is about what you do with the money you have taken from your populace.

No, but you're the one who called me a socialist. If I'm one, so are y'all. Isms are not digital. What may differ between us is what we define as the extent of the public obligation. And there's no magic line in the sand.
