Buyback? What's this "buyback?"

[flenna]

Us freelancers ALREADY have to do that, and we have to do it at the beginning ESTIMATING our revenues, then fight with amending after to deal with any overage or underage.

I had a friend years ago who was a freelancer and he once told me how much he was sending to the government. At which point was the first time I thought "if everyone had to do that there would be a revolution" .

They do that now. Even if your home is 100% paid off, see what happens if you don't pay your property taxes. They don't even care if you have guns, they will take your home and all your neighbors will say "What did you expect to happen?"

People are so conditioned to having 40% of their income/property taken from them it isn't funny. People actually have the nerve to call things "tax refunds" when in actuality it is a return of a portion of your money.

Yep. Absolutely right.
I know more than one person who believes that as long as they are getting a refund, they didn't really pay taxes.

And the house thing? You really don't truly "own" much of anything. Much less a house or car.

A refund is merely the gov paying back part of an interest free loan they forced you to give them.

If there's one good thing about this plan is they are finally admitting they want to take away our guns. How long did they go pretending confiscation wasn't on the table? They just wanted to keep guns out of dangerous people's hands lol

I agree. They've been beating around the bush and making us look like we're a bunch of Alex Jones/Coast to Coast Radio conspiracy nuts for saying that people are coming for our guns. They've now shown their cards too early.

It's why I hope Antifa starts shooting and bombing soon. Not that I hope for deaths on our side (though, it'll happen eventually), but we need the middle of the road people to see who the real enemy is.

This is the one big thing we REALLY need Trump for, a Grand Master Troll to make them rip the masks off and show their true colors. We really need him doing a lot MORE of it, though...

I have been saying for years that if instead everyone had to actually write a check every month to the government for the amount taken as income tax there would be a real revolution in this country.

Add to that the fact that Social Security is a mandatory ponzi scheme that is unsustainable. The first generation got free money, that last generation will pay in and get nothing. No amount of Al Gore "lock box" guarantees will keep it afloat forever.

Trump has been doing that in spades but the LEFT is way more motivated and in peoples faces than we are. Just part of the nature of things when the majority on our side are rural or suburban and their side has the big metro masses where life sucks and anyone offering free shit is appealing.

These Dem primaries should open up a lot of eyes to where things are and where they can go. Outside of rabid leftists or people brainwashed by Orange Man Bad I can't see how people could vote for people who want outright socialism and going around rounding up gun owners. Maybe just my path in life but Ive yet to meet a single person who thinks going door to door taking guns is a good idea, and that will solve our ills.

I would love to see that cartoon.

Something with the people on both sides ending up in chains, on their knees....

Just like the did in the last election when they thought that they didn't need working whites to vote for them. What I don't get is that they openly talk about the diversification of America through immigration and how that will replace the current majority, and when people complain about, we are suppsoedly the crazy ones. They aren't wrong, the just goofed by 70,000 people in three states. Considering the echo chamber they live in that is pretty close.

On antifa getting wilded and wicked, you had Dallas and you had the Congressional baseball shooting. Never mind shutting down highways and burning crap down...

And another language thing: You never talk about "gun violence" and we should not let any supposed 2A sources acknowledge those words. The guns are not violent or committing the violence or the cause of the violence. You can talk about criminal violence, terrorism, or any manner of human caused violence -- including violence that was committed with a gun as the tool -- but "gun violence" does not exist and we should not allow it in the lexicon.

That's my point, the more trolling he does the more looneytunes they go--that movie The Hunt was canceled because it showed their goal towards us for all the world to see. If he does the job right 2020 will be an R blowout... the problem comes after, because the problems the Dems have inflicted to date will take generations to fix and Joe Sixpack generally doesn't like to go more than eight years with one party having executive power. And trust me, unless we find some way to hobble them as soon as they regain power they will be so ruthless and brutal as to make people *nostalgic* for Obuttf-ck...
