shut the fuck up

Agreed. Everyone who wants a more powerful and restrictive government is wrong.

Here's what I think.

-Free health care

-free college

-legal abortion

-gay and trans rights as equal citizens

-anti discrimination laws, because all citizens deserve equal treatment

-wealth inequality should be eliminated, make the wealthy pay their fair share. the disparity between the wealth elite and the poor and middle class in this country is staggering. Capitalism has failed, it's time to introduce a system which takes money from the super wealthy and gives it to small businesses and poor and middle class, every day americans.

-Politicians should represent people and not corporations.

-This is a country where you can believe whatever belief you want, or not believe and be an atheist. No one is exempt from this country on the grounds of their beliefs or lack thereof.

-churches are not tax exempt, they pay their fair share of taxes

-the criminal justice system shouldn't unfairly target minorities and poor people and give people like brock turner 3 months when someone who smokes weed can get years and years and years, or get off because they have "affluenze." Police officers do target people based on the color of their skin, and black people do get disproportionately treated based on the color of their skin. It's apparent that they're also brutalized by police and the police get off scott free.

- climate change is real, and it is caused by human activity

- the future of energy is clean energy, and fossil fuel companies have to go

- the most progress that humanity has seen has come from advances in technology, which has had the biggest impact on all of our lives. For that reason science and science education should be one of the biggest factors in not only the success of our country, but for the quality of our lives.

- The war on drugs has failed, all it does is drive markets underground and incarcerates people who are not violent, and should not be treated with incarceration.

- We incarcerate non violent drug offenders at inordinate rates

- All drugs should be legalized and regulated, no one should go to jail for drugs especially since the people who abuse drugs are the ones who need help with them, and not all drug users are drug abusers. Drug abusers need help, and sending them to jail does not help.

- Prisons increase recidivism, because once you have a felony on your record, it makes it extremely difficult to get a job. We set these people up for failure, and again, effect people from poor communities and african american communities, who get caught up in the cycle of poverty and can't escape.

Finally, someone who understands.

Taxation is theft.

Okay stephan moleneux.
Without taxation we would live in an anarcho capitalist system, and the wealth would become dynastic. No, this would not benefit you, it would go to people who hold trillions and trillions of dollars because they own corporations or shares in a company; which would just be an extension of what we already have right now.

But you're wrong. We would abolish currency and the government and live in tribal communities centered around agriculture like our forebears. We will pass our time spearfishing trout and stalking game with arrow in hand. Men will be men once more and learn how to sew and recite poetry and live nobly as Wotan would wish us to do.

I'm shooting third reichs after some beers with dinner and I'm listening to The Green Fields of France.
Is it okay to cry right now?
