I am the furthest thing from a Republican. But the Republican party had two Hispanic candidates with legit shots at the Presidential nomination last year. And another candidate married to a Mexican-American.

You are not the only to make this argument. And I get it. But what you’re really saying is, “the government should charge me for entry to the park in April, when I pay my taxes, instead of when I actually show up at the park.” It’s largely a distinction without a difference, except that the daily use fee shifts…

I have been to about half of the parks you mention as subject to the increase and I have to say, $70 seems pretty damn reasonable to me. You can spend hours — easily a full day — at the Grand Canyon, Bryce, Zion, and I assume most if not all of the others, too. Watching the sun come up over Denali is about as…

Fuck you sideways. (Income) taxation IS theft. Commerce should be taxed. Making a living should not, especially below a certain subsistence level (like, say, the official poverty line, assuming a decent standard for same).

It’s good to know there are still people out there that believe the government is completely accountable and responsible with how it spends our money. Such innocence is... refreshing.

I think you guys forgot the part where our legal tender is just a convenient stand-in for goods and/or services. The physical currency itself has no value beyond that of the materials it is constructed from.

Taxation is theft, the only difference is whether you agree with the reason behind it or not. You’re fine with paying taxes for roads, schools, perhaps even healthcare because those are all things we all use and need. What about all the things that taxes get spent on that you’re not fine with? Like say, drone bombing…

What’s “racist” about the word “taxpayers”?

Black people pay taxes (I just downloaded my biweekly pay stub..BOY DO I PAY TAXES and yes, I’m Black) - Latinos, Asians and American Indians pay taxes too.

Poor people definitely pay taxes - the lower your wages are, the relatively higher your taxes are.

It’s rich people that…

I really dislike BS think pieces pushing a narrative to drive clicks.

I thought that the term “taxpayer money” was about where it comes from, not who it belongs to. Have I been wrong all these years?

This reads like 1st day on the job Hamno. It’s a mess trying to push a narrative like a lot of bullshit think pieces.

It is hairsplitting bullshit and you’re reading a whole lot into a common phrase.

Problem - government funding actually does come from taxes.

So it is taxpayer’s money.

I never ever thought that taxpayer money was an elitist term, because it isn’t.

Taxpayer money, public money; to most people, it’s six of one and a half dozen of the other. This is the kind of hair splitting that allows the right to pin an unfair “SJW” stereotype on anyone who dares question their bullshit, and it really does us a disservice. We should spend less energy fighting over what to name…

Huh?

Here you go: ride the bus. It’s fine.

Is there a take on this other than Foerster is/was a dumb besotted older dude with substance issues that got fucked over massively by a stripper (presumably after some failed blackmail shakedown) who’s now trying to make it out to be some noble political act?

This is some cruel shit. Some dumb shit too. But the cruelty…

I’m sure it’s a civil rights issue to her, not the fact that he threatened to contact security after she tried to blackmail him.

A 25 man roster with 17 MLS players is not the legacy of Klinsman . This was an anti-Klinsmann team
