Haha, I like that picture.
As for the ballot question, does anyone know whether Thc has any children in the Dallas area? lol
I don't know.
It was just silly to pull out a gun over it.
But I am opposed to the idea of taxing people on the goods and services they purchase. It's not good at all.
I would go further and suggest that it was criminal, rather than silly.
Voted : No they were typical liberals who wanted something for free
If you ask me they sound like liberals who wanted to rebel against the opressive capitalist system by robbing the borgeoise store clerk.
Liberal kids wouldn't have used a gun.
Voted : No, just idiots
I've got a great joke for this, but the Libertarians all know where I live...
Voted : No they were typical liberals who wanted something for free
They obviously weren't Democrats, because they otherwise would've pistol-whipped the clerk Tarrantino style and forced him to pay 3 times the regular sales tax...
cranky- Yes, true.
Anyway, I believe they could have easily have been socialists and not libertarians. This is because it is socialists, and NOT libertarians, that are the most opposed to the idea of taxing goods and services. This is because socialists generally prefer proportional taxation, in which each person is taxed in proportion to what they own- a percentage. Socialists see this as more fair, as the wealthy and the unwealthy pay a percentage rather than just a flat number, and therefore each individual's status and capabilities are considered. In taxing goods and services, such as candy for instance, this proportional taxation cannot be used. Instead it would be a flat tax rate: therefore a rich person and a poor person would pay the exact amount of tax on a product- and for a rich man that may seem small, but for a poorer person makes things more difficult. It is for this reason that it is socialists that oppose the idea of taxing goods and services, and not libertarians, whom seem attached to the idea of flat tax systems rather than proportional ones.
