    "Like I said, lawful claims, not some of the asset forfeiture BS that currently is in vogue. If you think I'm for the government impounding private assets, you are barking up the wrong tree. Not everyone who believes the left is looney tunes is a fascist, there's no putting enough lipstick on leftist pigs. :roflol:"

    All leftists for seizure here raise your hand! ...not holding my breath. Unrelated - the more lip. the more lipstick. Just makes sense. Flag looks mighty colorful in the background. Perhaps a glossy pink would make your face really pop, unlike that washed out silver or whatever you're using. Lol

    As Thomas Sowell has said, " Socialism in general has a record of failure so blatant that only an "intellectual" could ignore or evade it."

    Of course it does! If we didn't have a military then who was going to stop China from creating a blockade preventing goods from getting to America?

    One Mind, stop making so much sense. You'll ruin the party. Or mass temper tantrum. Or whatever this is.

    You might want to include Trump in that list. His abuse of eminent domain for personal profit is well documented...

    Why do you think they are creating islands and putting military installations on them? Just for fun?

    The problem is "feeling part of society" is just a nice way of saying you're going to take my money.

    Yep! For the sake of precision you might want to eliminate "liberals" and socialists. We don't wan't any of your personal property. Though we might require you to pay your part of the cost of living in a society.

    If I fight in a war for this country and, for example, lose a limb doing it, I'm entitled to your money in the form of VA Compensation. So, you're wrong.

    There should not be laws that promote greed. And ranting anti dialogue against the wealthy over whom they give their life's wealth to is greed on the part of government.

    It must be a Democrat form of thinking that Government's purpose is to take from A and hand it over to B. That is wrong. It is theft.

    Did George Washington pay for such injuries? Do you recall indeed Abe Lincoln paying for such injuries?

    You didn't answer. Why is China building islands in the South China Sea and putting military installations on them?

    You don't have to have infinite growth in one year in order to growth to keep on happening forever.

    Since when did the concept of a "Commons" morph into a safety net?

    For most of human history the safety net has been *private* charity, not government redistribution of wealth at the end of a gun.

    Who owns the Common's by the way? The government? Or an individual? If it is an individual then how is it a Commons?

    If it is the government then the government *does* own the means of production, at least part of it!

    Aight, so instead of
    It should just be "what Trump and communist need to understand"
    Okay good, but just the one communist? You sure? Which one do you suppose it is?
    Hey, no worries. That's generally seized by employers before workers ever see a dime. In fact, the IRS usually already knows more about what you owe than you do when you go to do your taxes. They could just send you a bill for any balance or a check for any overage instead of making us go through all that crap every year. I expect H&R Block would start crying like the dickens though. Oh well. Can't have that.

    And then the Iron curtain came down.. and to everyone's great surprise.. socialism had been a ****ing disaster there too.
    Just because you can't support yourself, doesn't mean I can't. Just because you need a bigger social group to parasite upon, doesn't mean I do or that I want you parasiting on mine.

    If you view me as a parasite, don't give me any of your money. Problem solved. I shall do the same.

    No corruption that way. No opportunity for the anti-social to screw things up for others. If the benefits you bring to civilised society are so fantastic as to be worth any of my money, I will give it you. That decision is mine to make.
    No vote and no amount of moral superiority you feel, is going to ever make it yours.

    The leg lost vet wannabe. Come back when you have lost your leg in a war for my country. On that day I will give you some of my money. You have no entitlement to my money. I may however chose to give you some freely.
    But not if you give me attitude. That way lies no money. So don't bother going to war and losing a leg is my advice. Because I'll be happy to watch you limp if you think I owe you anything at all.
    I didn't hire you and I didn't send you to war and I don't see any wars I need protection from on. So jog on legless wonder.
    Spend your own pay on your own medical bills.

    First off, there ARE people who live totally off the grid! It isn't impossible to do.

    Second, there *are* fire depts that are totally subscription only. They won't come if you don't subscribe. This isn't an entitlement, it is a purchased service!

    Between Topeka and Kansas City is a toll road that is payef for by tolls, i.e. the users fund it. That is infrastructure that is *not* paid for by society.

    Nor is health insurance provided by government - yet at least!

    Third, you think Bill Gates was not adequately compensated for what he invented? Steve Jobs? Zukerberg? I suggest you think again.

    You are merely quoting what Obama said "You didn't build that!".

    It's total malarky!
