Participant[quote=all]The roads need to be maintained and the salaries and the pensions need to be paid. Gas tax, use tax, income tax, toll… the money has to come from somewhere.[/quote]
The roads can be maintained by pulling pensions.
Pensions do not need to be paid.
Mine was taken away. Sure I got back what I put in, but that was it.
No, no – pensions do not have to be paid.
Californian’s are already heavily taxed – the money to maintain roads is already being paid.
Participant[quote=scaredyclassic]Often I state at rain clouds and ask for rain.
When it is time, it rains.[/quote]
Does that mean you’re endorsing Trump?
ParticipantIt’s interesting in that all the PC garbage that’s been forced on us by is now backfiring.
Go Trump!
Participant[quote=harvey]
General welfare and commerce clause BRAH!
Army and Navy are specifically mentioned, Air Force is not.
IF WE LOVED THE CONSTITUTION WE WOULD ABOLISH THE AIR FORCE[/quote]
What’s up BRAAHHH??
Duuude, did you know the general welfare clause was a congressional tax and spend power only for the general welfare *for enumerated powers*?
Yes, it’s true. Defense is an enumerated power, environmental tyranny is not.
Participant[quote=scaredyclassic]i do not understand the extraordinary love americans feel for reagan.[/quote]
Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!
Participant[quote=harvey][quote=paramount]Yes, the EPA should be abolished, or the Constitution should be amended to permit the congress to regulate the environment.[/quote]
Yes, the Air Force should be abolished, or the Constitution should be amended to permit the congress to fund a service chartered with military aviation.[/quote]
The defense (from enemies both foreign and domestic) of the country is provided for in the Constitution. Not the environment -> that’s a state issue.
ParticipantIn light of the death of Mrs. Reagan I feel this thread should be deleted in the interest of dignity.
ParticipantI’m detecting an AIPAC conspiracy somewhere here…
ParticipantThis is all about wealth redistribution and socialism/communism which dominates California politics.
The largely socialist/communist California assembly understands demographics well; and they understand that the bulk of this commie tax will come from the generally more conservative suburbs. And that a good part of this money will go to their supporters (and not roads).
It’s the same motivation for charging light pickup truck drivers a huge yearly surcharge/tax/fee just because they drive a pickup. Most of these assembly members understand that the majority of their supporters don’t drive pickup trucks.
We already pay enough taxes in California – start rolling back the outrageous pay/benefits for govt workers and California will have more than enough money to maintain roads.
ParticipantI have to admit I wasn’t sure where this topic was going; I was thinking about the fact that most US children by the age of 12 have seen ~14,000 simulated murders on TV.
As for education, I use it heavily. You know the ones: KHAN Academy and the like.
I think they are great – when you can’t get through the videos can be helpful.
But no they won’t replace a teacher.
Participant[quote=spdrun]Sure, if you like the smell of burning rivers in the morning, and want to model your new neighborhood after Love Canal.[/quote]
Yes, the EPA should be abolished, or the Constitution should be amended to permit the congress to regulate the environment.
Each state can have their own EPA and I suspect already does.
The EPA has a thug mentality and undermines the rights of American’s.
In fact, I suspect the EPA is putting many farmers in the Central Valley out of business because of that damn delta smelt.
Get rid of the EPA!!
Participant[quote=ltsdd]
and again demonstrate to the whole board what a fool you are. Why must you make up lies just to make a counter argument? No one said anything about trump “had anything to do with DD”. The discussion was about his failure to disavow DD’s endorsement and his assertion that he didn’t know who DD is (which he did and had discussed about him numerous times in the past).[/quote]Please provide evidence showing that trump discussed dd numerous times in the past.
ParticipantIt seems a lot of people feel the need to preface statements with: “I’m not a Trump supporter, but….”
Participant[quote=outtamojo]I thought libs were in favor of higher minimum wages and wanted all blue collar to Unionize so they can rise up against their oppressors and grab a more equal slice of pie.[/quote]
Skilled blue collar workers are doing just fine. In general they make much more than min wage.
I think you are referring to lazy unskilled workers. Many of whom have been incorrectly taught (by teachers, parents, etc…) since a young age on that they are oppressed by white people and corporations.
They rarely or never look in the mirror. They feel entitled.
