LOL are you kidding? In 1913 there were .004 percent the amount of cars there are today, and they looked like this Further, your claim isn't even true. My apologies, 1909 technically. Previously in 1861, a 3% tax was put in place by Abe Lincoln to fund the civil war, then repealed in 1871

Only so far as to be able to condescend or jeeringly dismiss anyone who tries to take the bait. I'll let you in on the reality of this situation. I don't say this to insult you, and I'm also not trying to convince you - just offering some information for you to understand if you so desire. You've already worn out your welcome and failed to take advantage of the possibility at a good first impression. You've sealed your fate, so to speak. Plenty of others like you have come and gone, and many of them would say the reason for the 'gone' part is because they didn't agree with the group think echo chamber, or because of hypocritical double standards, or whatever, but that's all self-justifications after the fact. The reality is that they, like you, are simply not welcome because you're not enjoyable to converse with. A whole lot of us are still around here because we get something positive, kind, and informational out of our exchanges. You lack all rapport and respect, and only offer thinly veiled rudeness and snark. If you don't mind me throwing knives a bit, this comes from someone who has been berated heavily for his own views on this board. Good synopsis, LoMS! Again, if anyone could point to any specific instances of my apparent wrongdoing, I'm interested. I haven't "worn out my welcome" because I'm rude. I've not once meant anything of ill intent in any of my posts. I've "worn out my welcome" because I represent a libertarian/conservative point of view that people don't like hearing for some reason. Apparently if you want to preserve people's liberty that makes you a bad person in the liberal fantasy land that is HuskerBoard's Democratic party platform rah-rah forum titled "Politics & Religion" Wrong..... Being someone who is probably the most pro business person on this board, I can attest that I disagree with lots of people on this board often with no problem. The issue with your posts are that they seem to be echoing propaganda talking points without much real data to back them up. The few links I've provided on this board (I normally don't for lack of time) have been criticized for being "biased" Meanwhile, articles from Vox seem to be good to go around here 🙄

To preserve life, liberty, and property. That's it. Prior to 1913, there was no federal income tax. Yet somehow we still had roads. I wonder how that happened...

You're all missing the point. Not once did I say that we shouldn't take care of those who are less fortunate. Using your own money, time, and resources to do so is probably the greatest thing a person can do. However, offering other people's money via the government is morally corrupt no matter how you slice it.

Maybe I just misunderstood this, my bad: "You're going to have to figure out how to comport yourself on this fan board, or your stay won't be long." No idea who Georgia Husker is. Sounds like a cool guy LOL

The drinking age question is difficult mostly because a lack of data on what the event would be if the drinking age is changed. My personal opinion is that as an 18 year old you are legally considered an adult in our country. 18 year olds can go to eat and should be able to buy alcohol if they choose. The biggest issue with that is that you'd have high school seniors of drinking age, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to move it to 19 instead.

That's because it's not a human right. It's not only a product/service, it's a luxury. Even California couldn't pass socialized medicine because it was going to more than double their state budget. And offering other people's money to pay for things (at gunpoint) is not compassionate. It's morally reprehensible.

Isn't it crazy how consumers can select coverage based on their individual needs? What a concept...

You threatened to ban me for having a different point of view and nothing else. Censorship by definition. FYI I didn't come here to stir the pot. I joined and started posting in this section to represent a point of view that was not previously represented. So I'll continue to do so because it's sorely needed.

I appreciate the hyperbole.

Scale matters. Please explain... You gonna claim with a straight face that the amount or extent to which Obama "lied" about healthcare (or could even articulate his positions or knowledge about ti) is proportional to that of Trump? Considering EVERYTHING Obama told us about the ACA was a lie and he knew it... Yes. And that's not extremely debatable...

Holy censorship... I'm legitimately asking what I've typed that's not allowed and you aren't able to point it out. So I'll carry on...

If my house crumbles from an earthquake and that's not covered in my policy, then what? I guess we'd better socialize home owners insurance also.
