[QUOTE=“konan;491744”]You want to abolish the EPA, right?!
Ever wondered…Jeese, why do I think this way…?! I think that the agency that protects my enviroment by measuring carcinogens in my water and my air and then acting based on those measurements is evil…[/QUOTE]

The EPA has been so great.

Just ask the New Yorkers and first responders with mesothelioma how great the EPA has been for them… You know, when the EPA declared the air around ground zero as safe… Even though there was asbestos and other chemicals all over the place.

It gave them a false sense of security. Guess what, they are going to die now. No, seriously.

1974

So, because they managed to pass **** laws - which can be retracted btw if right people are voted in, you want to take the whole thing down now…It’s equivalent of killing a pneumonia patient to cure him

1975

I found this. It’s pretty neat. I like how the countries I chose as an alternative place to live are towards the top :wink:

Index of Economic Freedom: Promoting Economic Opportunity and Prosperity by Country

1976

This was a unique case that never happened before… All your environment laws are basically thanks to someone dumping something toxic and killing people and govmt. learning the lesson because of it on what to allow and what to make criminal…Like dumping of chemicals in drinking water like Chemical Name CAS Registry Number (or EDF Substance ID)

[QUOTE=“konan;491732”]

They want more efficient Government and one that is working for them and not for the multinat. corporations…But how would you know this when you freakin live in the LA LA land…

All of those agencies are nothing but corporate soundboards…RT is doing currently a pretty good job, as in they are practicing actual real journalism, but they are Putin’s ***** and will show you only things where the West has fd up…

You respect your local sheriffs office until YouTube Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_6qhrXjYMM[/QUOTE]

Lol. More efficient government. Yeah, you’re not going to get a more efficient government by taxing people to the hilt and giving it lots of money.

The federal government is not accountable. They take every dime, spend it and then some.

What is your definition of efficiency? How do you propose the government becomes more efficient? Oh I know! Raise taxes on the rich, increase regulations and increase welfare! Brilliant!

Yeah. If my local LEO did that, he would be held accountable… Unlike some bureaucrat in Washington that gets away scotch free…

In Washington, if you target and harass conservatives via your position in the IRS, guess what happens? You get promoted to head of the IRS Obamacare office!

Wigglez I gotta go to bank get ma money…ttyl

Lol. We voted in the “right” people. We had Obama and a bunch of socialists democrats. They had 2 years to do whatever they wanted and reverse all the Bush nonsense. Guess what they did?

Expand the Patriot Act, Pass the NDAA, expand the War in Afghanistan, more bailouts, more stimulus, more regulations, more drone strikes, assassinating a US citizen FFS.

When the heck are you going to learn… POLITICIANS CAN’T BE TRUSTED.

Wow… You are clueless, really.

You have Stockholm syndrome.

That or you benefit from govt cheese. I’m going to place my bet on that. You probably have some cushy govt job that allows you to waste so much time.

The constitution needs to be respected. The federal govt needs to be cut to the bone. The states need to reassert their power as they are more representative to the people.

I will not have some smug fool from a far off state or country dictate how I run my life. If you don’t like that, go pound sand.

Who the heck are you to force people a system they don’t want? No really.

I don’t want to dictate and screw around with your life, why are you so intent on having a bureaucrat manage mine?

It really ticks me off. I have ZERO respect for people that try to impose their will on other people through the strong arm of government.

If you think I should give you more welfare, come rob my house yourself. If you think I should give up my guns, ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ.

Don’t be a child and expect the government to screw up my livelihood for you. Do it yourself.

Or would that be wrong? It’s morally wrong to rob, steal and bind in person… But if the government does, it’s okay? That makes no sense.

Tell me, if somebody is broke and needs money, is it okay for them to mug me and take some money out of my wallet?

1980

Heh, nice.

I need to do that to. Wish there was money in there to get :wink:

Later

1981

Oh man, I’ve had that government cheese. It’s nasty.

Worst one I can remember is the government peanut butter.

*shudders

Edit: What does it mean to pound sand?

Did you check that link? It say’s Australia has more economic freedom than the U.S. hehe

It basically means go away

Yeah. We are 10th place and falling. It’s kind of disheartening.

1983

You can do a comparison graph which is kind of neat.

US still has higher labor freedom.

I like how Australia has more freedom from corruption.

I wanted to move to Australia when I was a kid. I remember when the game Grand Theft Auto came out and they banned it. I thought that was ridiculous, and a testament to how the country is probably screwed up when it comes to individual freedoms.

I’ll have to check out to see how their political freedoms are now.

I don’t own a firearm anyway. I figure what I can do is maybe keep some throwing knives on me and learn how to use those. Hehe. If I’m going to be killed there is I think a 13% chance of it being a firearm. Wonder what the laws are for crossbows :wink:

1984

In other news…

1985

Aw come on. Surely you can agree, Australia is looking better and better, no?

Also, what the… That can’t be real.

It’s a joke lol

Australia is a nice country. I’d consider it. Although there are like a bajillion animals and insects that could kill you very fast.

If I had to bail out I’d either go to Aus, Canada, New Zealand, an Asian county like Singapore, Chile or the Czech Republic. They have decent gun freedom. Especially for Euro standards.

Canadians have fewer import restrictions on guns. They can buy newly made Chinese ammo for one.

The Aussies have a better accent though.

1987

We should eliminate debt by ramping up spending.

1988

Hahahaa

That was the episode where moe talked homer into committing insurance fraud. He was supposed to wreck moes car, but ended up back in the car and got caught.

1989

It’s true…USA is especially nasty towards small businesses with it’s tax codes and other regulations implementation…But, major banks and businesses now have a status of “too big to fail” and they freakin can get away with murder…literally and figurat…

1990

Demand from the president to clear house…and Obama is doing it I think…what’s the deficit at now for example compared to 2008?! I’d bet anything you never even once mentioned secession when Bush was spending your great great grandchildrens money on unnecessary wars and tax cuts…IRS has been harassing certain groups of people ever since it was formed(all depending on who was in the office at that time)…You Faux News zombie!

1991

You’re the smug fool coz you don’t even read my posts and then assume from ignorance about my political convictions…Smug because you think you know it all, but you know only what the corporate media implants you with and a fool because you don’t know wtf is really going on because you don’t want to read other people’s sht!!! XD im so mad son!! It’s fun actually…If you called me a deadbeat to my face I’d just put you in a headlock :56: coz I worked since I was 16 when my mates were drinking coffees all day I was serving them//and so on through to 2009 when I lost my job largely due to US ****ing everyones economy up including their own—I wanted to kill myself when I lost my NGO job, but it sobered me up and made me realise that only by being my own boss will I be happy…Check the freakin time of my post yesterday for you and today for me at 4 AM…Thats right, I wake up 4 AM to make a market analysis and do other crap for this family…I’m the most diligent person I know and I was never, ever on the govt assistance…as if there is such a thing where I live now at all…So shut your :54:

Also, I already wrote about this…You’re a fool also for saying “Politicians are not to be trusted” or evil or what ever…They are you and you are them…Every legal citizen that has no criminal record can run for any office in the land…and they do…Politicians aren’t corrupt…people and the capitalist system are…

1992

Politicians are people and are easily corruptible. They don’t all of a sudden become a saint when they get voted in. Anybody with power can be corrupted easily.
