Leftists are masters of projection. People need to listen to the accusations being thrown around by the left, then do their own research to find who on the left is the one actually doing hat the leftists are accusing the right of doing.

Super relevant to a conversation about gas prices, good job.

What you believe about the perceived other side is fully reinforced by the media state and spending too much time on the internet and in comment sections like this, if not perusing news channels and websites all owned by the same collection of scumbags equally responsible for making life terrible for 90% + of people…

2nd Gear:

So a gang of criminals that show drive and motivation by staking out your house for days, breaking in when you aren’t looking and stealing all your stuff is welcomed by you? They sure are determined and crafty!

Yes it does. People that don’t pay taxes get to vote for this guy (the senator) who in turn gets to put his hand further into the tax payers pockets. This happens at the local, state and federal level, and affects you too, if you pay taxes. You cool with that? Of course the non tax payers will vote for ‘you’ to always…

1. That is a major problem, and can be fixed super simple. Tax everyone. We all use services, let’s all pay.

Those 700 taxpayers will leave the country. And then what?

This Exactly.

you seem to be ok with the ‘rich’ paying more. As long as its someone else paying, right?

And income tax was originally sold as, “but we’re only going to tax the top 1%!”. Do you see the problem? Cut spending.

scare tactics???? how can ANYONE back the idea that paying taxes on money that doesn’t exist is a good thing?

Until they are not. If they can pass this, why stop at millionaires?

The total wealth owned by these people is a small fraction of the US debt. This is tyranny of the majority, pure and simple. Let’s not pretend that this “fixes” anything, we still spend more than we earn and our children and their children will suffer for it. It is simply legalizing the taking of money from people who…

Yeah that’s not how the government works... They get a taste and then they’ll come after everyone. They’ve been doing this forever...

Just FYI, income tax was also sold as “hey we are only going to do this to really rich people, you have nothing to worry about”. Also, other countries have absolutely raided retirement accounts.

It’s okay if we destroy the global economy, as long as we change complicated financial systems I don’t understand in order to hurt people I’m jealous of. 

Neutral.
I get that it is in the “Neutral” section, Raph, but this non-stop discussion of bikes on a car blog.... The optics seem like you may not be a “car guy.” I mean, we all have other passions that we enjoy; I see that, but I have literally no idea what you drive. Are you the Fit guy? I don’t have to ask that…
