Seattle Socialists Strangle Golden Goose

[TheReal_ND]

If they have money to resist taxation, then they have money for taxes -HM

Money is going to be spent, people are going to be taxed -Jedi

There’s the progressive mindset. Complete justification for taking others money and squandering it. Hey, they have money to take, and governments are gonna take money anyway.

Threaten their worldview by suggesting that government isn’t entitled to take money just because others have it, or that a wasteful government should be held accountable and not given further funds - and look out! Rage, misdirections, ad hom, non-sequitirs, and straw men for days.

How well is the "don't spend any more money on the homeless" platform working?

Oh it's not? Well yeah no shit it's not.

This is why you're the no solution guy.

You're the libertarian of Seattle politics. Your "theories" don't work in real life. People are going to spend money on the homeless problem, and approve more levies and vote for people who will raise taxes because they want something done about the homeless people on the street. That's going to happen. So how do the people of Seattle and the Peugeot Sound area make sure that money is not wasted?

You're in the wrong state for "Starve the Beast."

Heh. That's tru tho

Wait...

Are you saying taxation is theft? Whole lot of talk about homelessness, golden geese and whatnot, just to come around to that.

Jedi and HM respond, rage and Kathy Newman-isms. That’s the depth of their ideological well. There is no substance to it. “Someone should do something. You should pay for it”.

-because you have money, so they feel entitled to spend it
-because a billion dollars of failure is better than doing nothing

Jedi isn’t even smart enough to figure out places in America with no homeless services don’t have homeless issues like SF and Seattle. They’ve had over fifty pages to make their case, won zero coverts. You either believe in the emotional fallacies justifying government waste and abuse, or you don’t.

We can't all have ideological wells as deep as 'taxation is theft.'

There it is. You can’t possibly make a fact-based case for Seattle’s taxation and spending on “homelessness”, so now anyone opposing obvious waste is simply against taxation.

Just like anyone appalled by Bill Cosby is a closet homosexual, because clearly they don’t enjoy heterosexual sex.

Every time you think a progressive has hit apex vapidity, they cut loose with an extra blast from the stupid thrusters and achieve new levels.

If Seattle doesn't lose Amazon, and the affordable housing programs help some of the residents, then the head tax is A-OK, since this isn't 'simply' and argument 'against taxation.'

[DBTrek]

Wrong. Once again trying to praise the Holocaust as successful state action because it helped people who needed lampshades.

“If anyone benefits from abhorrent state action, then it isn’t abhorrent, it’s a success”

You guys really do have a limited bench of talking points, and you’ve divided them up and recycled them multiple times in this thread already.

Queue JD to come in and call me a complainer (since Jedi did it yesterday and you the day before). Dan Carlin puts out new material at a breakneck pace compared to y’all.

Taxation isn't just theft now.

Now it's literally Hitler.

Deep ideological well running dry?

You fooled us all again, first fabricating my position on taxes and now by fabricating a connection between my analogy of your statement and your lie about mine.

That must be why you’re doing so well in this thread. You’re simply too clever for the rest of us, and your “arguments” too profound.



... no wait, you’re just doing that progressive straw man thing you’ve recycled a few times already. Zzzzzzzz

You claimed this wasn't about taxes, but about efficacy. When I talked about efficacy you brought up the Holocaust.
