It always amazes me when the left tries to increase the government at a much more rapid pace and uses whataboutism as a blinder. They are in a building going up in flames, they look out the window and point to the house across the street smells of burnt toast. The voice in their head tells them that they are very intelligent and they are winning.

Well done you are very useful right now.


Not even close to true though, show me any example of government expansion slowing under republicans.

It's sad to see people who you debate with can't even read. I never said government expansion was slowing I said it was increasing more rapidly under leftoids.

To those on the hill of Taxation is not theft.

What did humans do for thousands of years before centralized taxation? How did groups like native Americans flourish without a tax? How do you think the recently 'civillized' people's view imported (the concept, not tax on import goods) taxation.

Perhaps this touches on the 'social contract' and whether that is voluntary.


Also ROFL at mki, advocates for higher taxes while working system to pay minimum burdening rest of us. Disgusting

I thought there would be some level of respect. But I am afraid you in same category as the rest of the imbeciles now.
Making false statements, intentionally misrepresenting my words got fact checked and now deflecting with another strawman. Sry bro that's garbage.

the federal govt since GWB can't account for around 21 trillion dollars, accounting for 100k in a stupid fluff project is nothing.
