Richius is a crazy. There are plenty of things that the government spends money on that help the economy by $2 to $8 or more per dollar spent. He wants none of that.

You have more than enough nukes as a deterrant.

And yeah, 50 separate entities.  That would be great.  That was how it was meant to be.  Go read your Constitution.

And really, I don't care what you think, but I won't be paying income taxes because I'm smart enough to either hide it, or get paid offshore.  And you won't believe how many of your own citizens in the 40% income tax margin don't pay taxes either because they have good accountants.  So good bye, and thanks for all the fish.

You seem to have confused the Articles of Confederation with the Constitution.

Isn't there a section about all powers not delegated to the federal government is reserved for the States and the people?  I think it is.  Now list all the F* agencies and where the Constitution authorizes them.




I thought so.

Idiot.

You know, before you call people names you should realize what the discussion pertains to.

Right-wingers completely fail to understand economics, jfern, relying upon 'principle' - a humorous sadomasochistic emotional response - rather than reason.

How is being rich and wanting to preserve your wealth equal failing to understand economics?

That is a political position, Gustaf.  The belief that Keyensianism/liberalism don't 'work' is misunderstanding economics, but an effective propaganda with which to dupe the masochistic poors (who love to believe they're being 'hard nosed' and tough).

Go back and find it.  It is in article 1.  That is why they had to pass the 16th amendment.  So go back, read through it again, and report back once you discovered it.
