I keep telling you taxation is theft, but you don't listen carefully enough.
You don't want to eliminate the theft. You only want to change the victims.

You don't understand the concept of taxes, and then wonder why everyone looks at you funny whenever you state your opinion.

Actually, the way a lot of people interpret this law is that they can approach someone with a gun, start a fight, and shoot them if they fight back. |

I've heard this term used by resident's of Michigan's Upper Peninsula to describe denizens of the Lower Peninsula: "Tr***s" because they live "under the bridge." |

Then a lot of people are wrong, many of them willfully so.

A little secret that you don't hear mentioned is that in his Reform days he made comments crediting the American conservative movement for playing a large part in making the USA great. My god I hate the man. |

North Carolina is a State and is run by a governor, not a mayor.
