Property taxes were the only tax in the early days of the country. At that time, only landowners could vote. That was because only land owners paid taxes, and the founding fathers were smart enough to know if people that didn't fund the government were allowed to vote, politicians would buy votes by promising to take money from the rich and give it to the not rich. Amazing how prescient our founding fathers were.

"Sorry little guy. Thanks for stepping aside here."! WTF. How about "thanks for letting me send you through the woodchipper" or "thanks for letting the abortionist tear you apart limb by limb before crushing your skull in his forceps."! FFS, full disclosure, you tore apart a tiny human being one limb at a time. That is not "stepping aside", that is enduring a death as grisly as what Jesus suffered on the Cross.

Would this be a good thing or a bad thing? I really don't know anymore. But I think it would be a good thing.

I highly doubt it's a couple dudes in a van driving across the country. It takes a fair bit of planning and access to cause some of theses explosions.

The file you want to upload has to be a url, not a file on your computer. Upload the pdf file to files.catbox.moe then include the url in your message.

I worked bagging groceries in high school in 1980 - 81. One day a group came in and filled 3 or 4 carts to overflowing with the most expensive stuff in the store - steaks, deli meats & cheeses, produce. (Turns out a local oil refinery was on strike and the management team had to step in and run the plant during the strike. Obviously they took care of themselves!) But those several carts totaled to $300! Of course I was making $2.85 at the time and gas was $1.25, but amazing how $100 no longer buys a cart of groceries or a tank of gas!

Company value stays the same. Number of shares quadruples. Price of each share post split is 1/4 of the pre split value. Each shareholder will have the same dollar value.

I guess the concept of national sovereignty is lost on this generation. The UN has zero authority over the US, thanks be to Trump.

They fear the loss of the Democratcy. The federal government overseeing elections would be the greatest threat to our Democratic Republic since 1776.

Yes. Assuming that the egg has been fertilized by a sperm, the (naturally) irreversible process of development of a new human has begun. So the day after pill kills that nascent developing life, hence aborts it. It may be too small to see with the naked eye and not have any recognizable human characteristics, but give time and being left alone, it is a person. The question is when does a baby get a soul and become a person. God says it is at the point of conception.
