    You and your source conveniently forgot that the Constitution contains a provision for the imposition of taxes so that government can be financed and be enabled to take wealth and to utilize it.

    Evidence for that contention.

    So when Madison wrote Federalist 10, the Constitution contained a provision that the Government was to redistribute wealth from certain people in order to give it to others?

    Very well could be. They just dropped off my complete radar screen and I never heard anything about them for quite a long time. Nothing on the radio, nothing at all. I just assumed they disbanded. Either that or took up hip hop or some other type of music which I never ever listen to.

    Doesn't change the fact that they are not a popular band.

    Are they on Billboard? Nope.

    The controlled right wing media acted as if they fell off the earth. Actually they are alive and well, doing concerts, and still making MILLIONS as befits great artists like them. :)

    I guess you missed my post about their fan membership on social media which numbers well over one million.

    They were publicly ostracized for their condemnation of Bush, but later became even MORE popular because of it. My guess is that history will repeat itself as Trump becomes more transparent.

    Regardless of whether they are or not, is musical ability indicative of political savvy? If so, why didn't they ask Hillary and Donald to sing at the debates?

    Oooh, well over a million. Well that changes everything . . . not. In a country of over 315,000,000 people, a million is not a lot relatively speaking.

    Who said anything about political savvy (not that I think the Dixie Chicks are)? This guy is acting like the Dixie Chicks are relevant in the year 2017. It's just silly.

    So when did they release their last album and where did it fall on Billboard charts, because Billboard is based on album sales and is an accurate measure of an artist's popularity.

    Martina McBride is generally considered on of C & W's biggest stars. I certainly have enjoyed her music. But Natalie's net worth is much larger than hers.

    You may not like the Chicks but despite all the hate directed at them by the far right, they are doing very well financially which attests to their greatness.

    They have no greatness. They aren't even on Billboard. I think you are much too easily impressed.

    Sooooo . . . would you feel the same way if they were Trump supporters? :laughing:

    You obviously do not know C & W music very well.

    Martina McBride is a registered Republican and I just told you that I enjoy her music.


    I have no idea why you despise the Chicks so much but, whether you like it or not, Chicks Rule!

    Another good laugh!



    Martina McBride = 50 years old

    Natalie Maines = 42 years!!!!!!!


    Natalie is younger, prettier, and wealthier.







    I hope you are not too jealous of her. :wink:

    They have lost the majority of their fans. And I would not give you a pint of cat crap for all three of them.

    I don't think that's true anymore. There's a ton of stations on the internet. Few commercials, because they don't have the overhead of requiring a transmitter, and a station on the net can reach everyone. Plus I've been able to download any tune I want by going to You Tube. Everything is on YT and it's free. DCs are still very popular.

    Well, they didn't perform often as a group between 2008 and 2014, so they did sort of fall of the earth as a group. I know the sisters were doing folk music, and Maines did some solo work. They did a Canadian tour and a world tour, before touring the U.S. last summer.
