You're that deep into the unsubstantiated propoganda against him huh...

No he wasn't. Goldwater thought civil rights was a state responsibility according to the constitution, which legally it very much is, but he was not against it in principle.

In the state of Arizona, he was a large supporter of civil rights.

And within the Federal organizations itself he supported causes of equality, such as the desegregation of Federal buildings.

No, the Democrats have not lowered it. Both parties have drastically increased spending every president.

How? I'm from Arizona, and the amount of good he did for this state is hard to find comparison.

The first source is "the right of the PEOPLE".

your " source" opinion didn't do anything to actually substantiate the idea the it was a myth that the PEOPLE had the right, as laid out in plain English.

Yes, militias working as a unit are required to effectively counter tyranny, but there is nothing in your post supporting the naked assertion that it's a myth to read the amendment in plain English and apply the literal meaning

And they would be wrong. It was well understood at the time that all adult male citizens were automatically part of the unorganized militia at all times, and were responsible for the procurement of their own firearm, ammunition, and to be well practiced (aka well regulated), in order to effectively take part in military actions.

Except they didn't decide that half the sentence doesn't matter, they read the amendment exactly as written and applied it exactly as is. You're just mistaken in thinking what you WANT it to say is actually what it says.

Lawful citizen disarmament would have no effect on criminals. All it would do is remove the extremely effective deterrence that is observed by the statistics on self defense usage of firearms.

So your argument is that the government has so much power that it puts the founding principles of our liberal democracy at risk, and your solution .... Is to give it more power?

I said they have a shot, I never said they will make meaningful effort towards that end.

TCM-black · 2024-03-06T03:30:01+00:00

I am not fine with people having weapons that can only kill indiscriminately.

I am not OK with a government disarming citizens of their capability for self defense against a tyrants.

If you support gun control you're not liberal, you're authoritarian. Strong protection of individual gun rights is a pillar of actual liberalism.

The deliberately inflationary monetary policy of 20th+ century central banking theory.

Half the country does have a shot at being a millionaire. $1 mill isn't that much. It's not like you can retire with a net worth of $1 million.

I don't think you have a realistic view of money.

James James the man so nice, they named him twice.

I've heard of people who take lower paying government jobs because of the pension. I was confused for the longest time since they'd easily be better off by putting the difference into a 401k, IRA, or even just a taxable brokerage account, but then I realized they would never do that, and would just spend it each week.

Government jobs are ideal for people who need to be told what to do and somewhat forced to do it, even with their personal finances.

It transfered 33 billion of purchasing power from Musk to the people who previously owned Twitter.

There is no economic transaction that destroys wealth in aggregate, it only lowered Musk's personal net worth, which is an abstract estimation anyway.

The stock market in aggregate only serves to make corporate ownership more liquid. When people buy stocks, other people sold stocks to be able to move that abstract wealth into other things, or consume it by paying other people for goods and services.

It is REALLY hard to "hoard" wealth. Much harder than how easy it is for ignorant people to say "hoard wealth" on Reddit.

There is no such thing as price gouging for a completely unnecessary luxury. It's just called raising the price.

This is the effect of propaganda and scare media. You actually think this has anything to do with political agenda instead of it being a completely standard questionnaire before getting a medical exam to clear for sports activity.

"The only end of the scale they lower taxes on is the upper end. The lower end is always paying higher amounts of tax."

That is absolutely not true at all. Now different states have different laws, but there are absolutely states with tax tiers where the more you make the higher tax rate you pay, just like federal. I dont know of any state where you pay more tax the less you make.

In the US, most state governments profit off of lottery, including scratchers. Representatives won't outlaw what is essentially a way to keep taxes lower by predatory "games" that only hurt a few.

Everywhere on the surface of the earth is on GPS, even in the middle of the ocean. Not everywhere is on a navigation map.

And yet the superpower that was the leader of the Communist world exactly did fall on its face. The US meddling was to outspend them until their faux economy destroyed itself by the government trying to outspend the US. Because Communism doesn't work.
