1. Silly stupid liberals, Tax the rich , tax the corporations, implement socialism! They must have all gone to the same colleges that Elizabeth Warren and Alexandrea Orassio Cortez went to. Where after 4 years of classes to get a BA in economics they failed to teach a prime rule of economics, “That all costs of doing business are passed on to the consumer.” It’s starting to get me down that I am living in a country where morons are revered. I probably should go out and buy a few more sacks of beans.

2. I’m with you Joe, and some more bullets.

3. Re. ‘Hit them where it hurts’

   Democrats want to put a carbon tax on corporations.

   I want to put a bounty on corporations.

4. It is almost as if the ability to recognize facts and draw reasoned conclusions has been lost by the left. People who own and operate businesses live with the reality of setting pricing on the basis of the cost of goods to produce the product and the services required to bring them to market. These fundamental factors have escaped consideration in the left’s proposals. When a product becomes too expensive for the target market to purchase it they will look for alternatives or discontinue the use of the product. In both cases the business that offers that product finds ways to cut costs before that happens, I.E. cut labor and/ or make it with increasingly shoddy materials.
   It is like the unsustainable minimum wage hikes in Washington State. Fewer people have entry level jobs. Fast food restaurants have ordering kiosks eliminating the need for those who used to used to make a buck taking your order. Have you priced a Big Mack lately?
   The cost of these proposals will land squarely in all our laps.

5. $2.75 trillion in ten years = $275 billion per year. Still need another $25 billion per year to cover the tax dollar cost of illegals.

   Interest on the national debt is pushing $400 to $500 per year.

   We’re running deficits of a trillion bucks a year.

   Warren et al obviously have flunked Remedial ‘Rithmetic 101.

   1. They didn’t flunk anything. This has nothing to do with economics and all to do with creating another economic crisis. A crisis that will cause the sheeple to clamor for more federal government intervention into their daily lives.

      Don’t mistake apparent economic stupidity for anything more than it is, pure marketing genius for the masses.

6. this site keeps saying that the Baofengs are going to be banned but I’m not finding that info anywhere else.

   I see articles the likes of “Did the FCC just make Baofengs illegal? Short answer: NO!”

   Then articles stating the FCC only has a problem with Baofeng marketing.

   Can someone give me proof that they will indeed be banned so I can tell my friends who don’t believe in the ban?

   1. Here is the official notice from the FCC: https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DA-18-980A1.pdf

      And here is the citation issued to Baofeng: https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DA-18-801A1.pdf

      Lastly, here is an article that spells it out, in laymen’s terms: https://hackaday.com/2018/09/25/buy-a-baofeng-while-you-still-can-fcc-scowls-at-unauthorized-frequency-transmitters/

      1. Thank you JWR! Glad I have a dozen of them.

7. I don’t understand why liberty-minded people don’t band together more. Does anybody else wonder the same?

   1. They did at the Bundy ranch and some of them went to jail and were not allowed bail. The threat of jail time will make patriots think twice about showing up for a cause that they believe in. I’m not sure what the answer is.

   2. We are busy working, supporting families and prepping. We have lots to lose. I just wonder if there will be a straw to break the camels back?

   3. I’m sure there will be many “straws” that come, but it seems like the liberty-minded community is so fragmented that any coordinated response to those “straws” will be insufficient and wasteful. A tremendously more powerful army can be defeated if it’s fragmented.
      The Bundy scenario is a perfect example. Just a handful of patriots gave the Gestapo a bloody nose before great men and women suffered so much.
      We all know the answer. It’s spelled out succinctly in the book, Molon Labe.
      I know there are others who agree with me, but I just don’t know where to find them. I have to believe that if there is any place in all the world to find them, it’d be here.

   4. The surprise is all Individuals putting effort into this blog never discuss optimal locations, gathering of like minded, and the gravitating towards communities in the termed America Reboot. The comments, discussions, etc., are fragmented across the issues but no discussion on meet-ups etc. probably due to a healthy respect for privacy but communities effect security, local economy, shared or exchange of skills making the blog discussions appear in a vacuum

   5. Been trying to get people to build Communities for quite some time now but most of the Liberty Community aren’t real good with people which is why there is no movement…
