What's the fun in that? Like anyone actually comes into P&R to actually have an intellectual conversation.

The first spelling or grammar mistake and the entire point is lost, if one even existed in the first place.

Not even going to get into the Straw man and red hearing crap that goes on. smh..

The when all else fails. Nothing better than a personal attack to really get your ridiculous point across.

Hopefully Rooks does something drastic.

It was always going to be something drastic, because the current shape of P+R is not one I want any part of supporting, and none of my attempts to solve it gently have worked. We're just working out the details of what flavor of drastic it's going to be.

Well it really depends, is this a place for reasonable discussion or just shouting at members of the opposing team? In order for reasonable discussion to take place, then everyone involved needs to respect the opinions and beliefs of the members of the other team.

That last is virtually impossible to do in today's climate because people treat the political beliefs the same as religious ones. What happens here is the exact same thing as what would happen if you put two devote individuals of incompatible religions in a room and told them to discuss which religion is right / wrong. Starts out semi-reasonable with facts but quickly passive-aggressive covert insults are thrown in as each attempts to out-maneuver the other and then eventually when that fails all out overt insults and derision results.

4 states vote today, Michigan is the biggest one and Trump has a sizable lead. Mississippi, Idaho, and Hawaii are the remaining 3, Trump could run the table. Whatever happens, Rubio is going to be the biggest loser.

Taxes aren't theft. Grow up.

At what percentage does it become theft for you 10% 20%, 50%, 90%?
You say grow up, I ask you to stop advocating taking money from who has grown up and giving it to people that refuse.

Bloomberg was flirting with the possibility of a run. I posted an article recently in third party follies on his dropping the idea. Also, well earlier, on his testing the waters.

It doesn't magically become theft, it isn't theft.

What you're asking isn't what we're advocating, which is what you don't comprehend.

Taxes is paying into a community money pot, it's like on a road trip with people and you're all going in on gas. You're paying in on a common goal (in theory). In the end it's how the government uses the money, not just how much they take that really needs to be looked at.

In the oversimplified world of people who insist other people pay them (liberals) that's what taxes are.

In reality Taxes are like throwing in on gas for a road trip across the country that you don't even get to take where the car is needlessly loaded up with lead bricks and takes 87 octane but the driver insists on putting in 93 because she thinks it puts less wear and tear on her tires. All to drive 500 miles for something that could be easily retrieved 5 miles away.

Pay up!
