Income taxes are theft.

I believe that to be true.

The same goes for property taxes, estate taxes, capital gains taxes, and pretty much any other tax which is not directly tied to the voluntary consumption or use of a common resource, or of a service which is directly funded by that tax.

Interesting statistics...

Based on this chart: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...e_to_GDP_ratio

The US has the second-lowest tax-to-GDP ratio of pretty much any country which I'd consider "first world" (we're just barely higher than S. Korea), but also one of the highest debt-to-GDP rations. Amount European countries, for instance, only Italy, Greece and Portugal out-debt us.

I don't get it. Are we supposed to be surprised that you can make more money in the private sector than on a government payroll?

I question the veracity of what is implied by the above.

Being on the government payroll in a high-ranking capacity affords numerous opportunities for financial gain.

Never let go of that dream.

You believe it to be true, and, honestly, that's the only thing which matters.

yup.

https://www.syracuse.com/politics/cn...22nd-race.html


Brindisi’s efforts to keep his seat suffered two major blows on Friday. First, Oneida County officials reported that Tenney had grown her lead by 93 votes after they reviewed more than 1,000 as-of-yet uncounted ballots in search of voters who applied to vote on time but were erroneously left unregistered by Election Day.

...


Below are some of the biggest categories of votes that Brindisi wanted to count but that the judge ruled would not:
  • 128 ballots from voters who voted in the right election district but wrong polling place, in addition to 20 ballots cast in the wrong county.
  • 85 ballots from voters who were listed in the state voter database as “purged.”
  • 51 ballots from voters who dropped their absentee ballots in a ballot drop box outside of their election district, ballots that were later sent to the correct polling place after a state deadline.


widespread.

You have to seat the president before you can go back and check the validity of the election.
