  1. You don't understand either way. The tax is still paid by the consumer, as the tax is just passed onto you. The point of tax reduction is for the amount you pay in taxes to be less. The problem is how little you are making, not how much they are. Plus, inordinate tax and regulatory burdens secure the positions of bad wealthy employers who can afford to pay the toll, and keeps out newcomers who would give competition. Who fucking cares how much bezos makes anyway? You still give him money regardless, because the service provided by his company is just that valuable to you. The problem is that you can't afford to buy what you need and want. One of the primary costs in rent is property tax, every way you get nickel and dimed by taxation, directly or indirectly, leads to even the poorest among us giving up around half our income to the government. Can you imagine how big of a difference it would make to even earn 50% more? Just because the government was trimmed down, not through having to work any harder or whatever else. Also government spending is a primary driver of inflation, which acts as a regressive tax. Y'all are so myopically focused on jealousy for the rich, and punishing them, that you're willing to shoot yourself in the foot to give them a papercut

  2. People don't vote with their feet

  3. 1:10 Well, if these centers were mostly doing care other than abortions, why would they need to close? It's not illegal anywhere to practice gynecology, prescribe birth control, etc. This only adds credence to the argument that these aren't "care" centers, but abortion centers

  4. We love "unexpected" consequences

  5. Guess what? The government artificially limits the supply of doctors and hospitals, and puts huge amounts of barriers to opening them. You can't blame the "free" market because that is not free. You strangle supply, make it difficult for competitors to come in and offer lower prices, you're going to get runaway high cost. Corporations are only able to do this because of cronyism. The government has wide reaching power that is very conveniently available for suppressing competition, if only the right palms are greased

  7. Dude, I'm an atheist and I'm disgusted by how many people will not even acknowledge that a fetus is a human life, because it's inconvenient. I think the freedom to choose is important, but if people making that choice think there's not a life being ended...

  8. ​ @sinkopation A fetus is not like a home invader... the home invader forfeits their right to live through a choice they made. A baby was created by the mother through her choice, not the fetuses. It's more like inviting a guest over and then murdering them because they can't find another place to live fast enough. Y'all act like pregnancies are random acts of God forced onto unconsenting women. When you have sex, you're consenting to the possibility of pregnancy

  9. Ok... maybe they won't, but they also may. The dems sure as hell won't, and that's a big part of why they lost, doing fck all about these centerpiece issues

  10. 3:20 So, it doesn't as a right unless you can compel other people to pay for the choice that they get no input on?

  11. People addicted to food abusing food and using medication to compensate? Color me surprised too!

  12. Do y'all not realize that babies are humans as well? It's required to ignore or deny that point to say that it's an obvious human rights issue.

  13. Having children does not mean you can't separate and divorce... what are you talking about? If you can provide evidence of the abuse you could probably get full custody, but even if not, you still don't have to tolerate abuse from an abusive spouse, regardless of children

  14. Because people will pay for it... how many people never learned basic economics???

  15. People sure will pay a lot of money to avoid eating less…
