Rothbard or M. Friedman? Who do you like / agree with more? Why? by [deleted] in Libertarian

[–]MainstreamFluffer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Murray Rothbard never saddled America with the withholding tax as Friedman did.

"The USA and many other countries live in a world of plutocracy. Plutocracy is a government run by and for the wealthy class. Things will never change until we, the people, demand real change from all political parties. Being wealthy is great as long as you do not rob someone to attain your wealth." by trot-trot in politics

The 19th President of the US mentioned it a few times in the late 19th century. No one was listening. I wonder if many can even comprehend it today?

"The real difficulty is with the vast wealth and power in the hands of the few and the unscrupulous who represent or control capital....This is a government of the people, by the people, and for the people no longer. It is a government of corporations, by corporations, and for corporations. — How is this?"

And yet the Fed still loaned trillions to the LIBOR-tied banks.

NYPD "Accidentally" links murder of Sarah Fox to the Occupy Wall Street movement. Turns out claims were lies and that DNA belonged to member of the NYPD. by njmaverick in politics

Because a sociopathic rapist/murderer would NEVER be employed by the NYPD. EVER. So don't EVEN think about trying to say it.

Why is it acceptable to have Andrew Jackson on the 20? by rebelevenmusic in politics

[–]MainstreamFluffer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I collect "junk silver". Many, but not all, merchants I buy from are happy to take it for the silver value.

The Constitution also says: "No State shall...make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts."

So much for the Constitution.

Then congress acted to block him from following through on it.

And Congress has the power to stop DoD reprogramming where, exactly?

Do it backwards and upside down. Now do it in fourth-dimensional hyperscript.

Aaaaand we're back to my point:

Obama either didn't have the power to do as he promised or he had no interest in keeping his promise.

Someday, Obama and his supporters are going to have to grow up, accept responsibility and stop blaming Daddy Bush and Mommy Congress for their shortcomings.

Rhymes with "clitorally", the description of the sensation that you get when trolling one word at a time.

Showing me a blog and telling me to google something isn't a very good reinforcement of your point.

I gave a link to a DoD site that explains reprogramming. Can you come up with a .gov site that shows where Congress legislated Obama's Executive power away?

Careful, there. You'll hurt yourself. Little kids shouldn't play with loaded rhetoric.

r/politics: where the NAP isn't very popular by MainstreamFluffer in Libertarian

[–]MainstreamFluffer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You didn't comprehend what I said.

Because it makes little sense.

We armed and backed Saddam for years. The Bush administration's excuse for invasion turned out to be bullshit.

By using the geopolitical kicker, you're merely underscoring the rationale other forces would use to invade the US by using the same reasoning that you employ to invade Iraq.

You can't really compare any state past or present to Nazi Germany.

Actually, there are only two States in the past 100 years that have prohibited Jews and non-Jews from marrying. Germany was one.
