    If you understood the Constitution, that was what the militia, the Navy, and the Marines, were for. Then too, if we had not funded No. Korea through our build up of China we would not have that problem. Of course, we could have just wiped out No. Korea as MacArthur wanted to do, just as we could have wiped out Russia as Patton wanted to do, or even Baghdad as Schwarskopf wanted to do. This constant state of war that the right wing loves is doing the country no good just as globalism is not.

    No you have some idea, and I doubt you are intelligent enough to understand it, why those like me know the right wing has no intellect, is not patriotic, and has no moral values.

    the intention was that taxes be paid voluntarily because the govt was not supposed to have direct coercive power or even potentially coercive taxing power over individuals. The idea was that govt was evil and should have as little power as possible. If you wanted to avoid taxes all you had to do was not buy the taxed items. But when you did buy them the tax was paid by the foreign importer. Now do you understand?

    There are two distinct classes of men - those who pay taxes and those who receive and live upon taxes.
    Thomas Paine

    "We still find the greedy hand of government thrusting itself into every corner and crevice of industry, and grasping at the spoil of the multitude. Invention is continually exercised to furnish new pretenses for revenue and taxation. It watches prosperity as its prey and permits none to escape without a tribute."

    -- Thomas Paine


    Jesus told the chief priests, “I tell you the truth, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you.”

    I only get tired of "debating" with fools just as you are showing yourself to be here. Was it not Trump that threatened to sue the press? Was it not Trump that has blocked the press from his meetings?

    You will whine about the liberal colleges, yet never about Trump:

    Good thing I am not a chief priest. Now, show me where Christ, or His Father, said to put a lying, thieving, cowardly, adulterer, in charge of a country.

    you said founders were liberal because they were against standing Armies?? So are they conservatives too because they were for a standing Navy with sailors??

    what does suing the press for inaccuracy have to do with free speech? We love to hear a liberal on that one.

    ah I get it now, as a typical liberal you are opposed to a standing army but only after a standing army has wiped out all potential enemies so we won't need a standing army in the future??

    What I am saying is that the actual number of jobs relative to population didn't grow. So changes in unemployment were entirely due to people giving up and doing something else entirely like going back to school, becoming a housewife, or retiring. By your reasoning jobs should be plentiful and it should be easy to find a job just like the 90s. But today I still know many people who are having a tough time finding a job. The reality is that our job market is still really tight and it is tough for new grads without experience to find a job even many in technical fields.

    if job market were tight employment would be 80% not 96%. We are at full employment.

    if true unemployment would be creeping up rather than creeping down to record lows

    Why do you defend his buddy Trump for doing the same thing? I have no problem castigating the Clintons. Too bad you lack the integrity to do the same towards your new god.

    Population is in decline, and thanks to Obama we now have 82 straight months of job growth. Why would the unemployment rate increase?

    BTW, during Obama's first 6 months in office we saw the stock market increase by 22%. Trumps first 6 months? 8%.

    He is not my god, to me when the left makes fun of Trump they are making fun of themselves because Trump and the left are one and the same

    I just sit back and enjoy the drama of the left fighting themselves.

    Trump is the best example of this, and it is presented every day.

    Interesting that yuou think they are the same. I would say Trump is closer to a Putin, or an Assad.

    Why would you say that? Trump has yet to go around Congress like the dictator an chief tried to do with the Paris Accord or the dream act.

    Can anyone say reality?

    http://www.cnn.com/2017/08/02/politics/stock-market-highs-months/index.html

    "In fact, the Dow has reached a new high, on average, once every seven days since fully recovering from the Great Recession in March 2013.

    And it's happened under both Trump and former President Barack Obama: The Dow has hit an all-time high in 30 of the last 54 months since fully coming back from the market collapse of 2007-08. And it happened more than 100 times under Obama since 2013."
