Challenge to Tea Party members

[OohPooPahDoo]

Nice non sequitur.

Countries without an income tax.

Right...And implying that America's economic might might be on a par with those postage stamp nations because of an income tax is what we call non sequitur.

Just because you infer doesn't mean I implied.

 

[Oddball]

Actually, it wasn't implied....You stated it categorically.

And it's still a non sequitur.

I didn't STATE anything, shit for brains. Do you know what this:

?

means?

if you check, you'll see I put three of them in a row to make it abundantly clear I was asking a question, as opposed to making a statement. DO YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE?

The government was able to sustain itself from the revenues from selling land during most of its early history. They pretty ran out of that. You're a stupid ass, BTW.

Really? They ran out?
I must have missed that since the government still owns nearly 30% of the land. 291 - Federal Lands in the US | Strange Maps | Big Think

You might be surprised to find out not all land is worth the same amount of money per acre. There's plenty of worthless land in the west.

And some of it is worth even more.

All in all the feds control on the order of 50% of the 11 western states and nearly all of Alaska and Nevada.

And you think Nevada probably has some of the most valuable land, right?

LOL!

Never heard of the Sierra Nevada, have you?

That isn't the point. Nice attempted diversion., but a fail.

Yeah undeveloped land in the middle of mountain ranges always fetches a premium.

 

[Oddball]

Seems developers and real estate entrepreneurs see lots of value in lands like that.

Besides that, who the **** are you to try and tell someone else what is valuable to them and what isn't?

 

[Quantum Windbag]

imagine how powerful the US would be in the world without income taxes.

Imagine how little class warfare there would be if everyone got an equal share of government spending.

How do you measure an equal share?

The same way the authors of the Constitution did.

Challenge to Tea Party members:

Please only answer challenge if you would respond YES if asked "Do you consider yourself to be politically aligned with the Tea Party more than any other group"


THE CHALLENGE:

Name ONE Federal law which you believe satisfies the following TWO properties:

A) IS Constitutional
B) IS NOT good policy




Thank you for playing!

Federal Land ownership.

Now here is your challenge.

Get a clue before Nov 6, 2012.

 

[PredFan]

The Federal Reserve.

Really?

You consider yourself a Tea Party person but you don't think the Federal Reserve is unconstitutional?

I'd explain it to you but you've already proven yourself too ignorant to understand much of anything. You asked a question in the OP and I answered it.

Not really much of a challenge.

 

[PredFan]

I asked pretty much this same question about 2-3 years ago and no one could name a single example.

I think this means one of two things - there are more mainstream people (i.e. not total moronic idiots) that identify themselves as tea party members - OR - the tea party has somehow educated itself.

I'm sure you got answers then too.

 

[PredFan]

And you think Nevada probably has some of the most valuable land, right?

I wish I had a few acres of theat undeveloped land.

[CrusaderFrank]

Are we more powerful now than in 1776?

How did we survive 150 years without an income tax?
