I’ve known we’ve been turning into a welfare state ever since I started digesting, well, anything other than the mainstream media outlets. But the latest report out of the Heritage Foundation shows just how staggering the situation has become. It’s not just the current state that is alarming – but where we’re headed.
Half Of America Pays No Federal Income Taxes
This one always gets under the skin of liberals who claim, “well, they DO pay state/local taxes, payroll taxes, etc”. Sure, but those are completely different programs funding, well, things they get back in some way – related to STATE and LOCAL spending. So, state/local taxes are used for their local schools, roads, state welfare programs, etc. and payroll taxes go into the Social Security fund of which they will someday be a recipient (what’s left of it). However, fully half the country doesn’t pay a dime in Federal Income taxes (of which all Americans derive benefit as well) yet they are the loudest proponents of increasing taxes on the rich. How can one possibly complain about the tax rate of wealthy Americans when they don’t pay a dime themselves? This is lunacy…

No can do Marissa. When the posting really becomes important, Admin chooses to either delete it or alter it. I cannot tell him to go “fuck himself”, he runs the site and does as he pleases when it pleases him to alter and delete posting. The site is not a place where someone who is outside the box as I am can post. It is not permitted. If he will not acvept the parameters I put on my positing here, I just won’t post. Simple as that. You can read what I write on Our Finite World, Economic Undertow or join up on Reverse Engineering. TBP is not a place for alternative views. Its a Propaganda organ for Jim Quinn.
RE
Although I am sympathetic to your plight, I do not join things. I have never ‘registered’ here and I never will. I will also not join up on whatever group you’ve got cooking.
Good luck to you RE. Don’t let mainstream thinkers dissuade you from your beat.
Somebody’s got to do it.
“The site is not a place where someone who is outside the box as I am can post. It is not permitted.” —- RE
That is simply NOT true. It is a lie. Your Daily Rants were often featured on the front page, fer Chrissakes!
You claim Admin edits and even deletes your posts. I find that HIGHLY unlikely. I believe he has neither the time nor inclination to do that. But, only he can verify or deny that claim, if he chooses.
RE, the issue is absolutely not that you think outside the box. It is HOW you act here. Often bellicose and belligerent. You have been banned from other sites? Yes? You might want to consider the problem is …. you … not someone else.
Look, you and I have had some epic flame fests. You get under my skin like no other. In one sense, I kind of like that. I find that posts with which I disagree make me think … much more so than those posts with which I do agree.
But have I not often welcomed you back … and on occasion even said nice things about you? Yes, I have. You’re not really a bad guy. Just an asshole. lol

I never changed his articles. He is full of shit.
I put a PS at the end of a couple of his comments to bust his balls.
He decided to stop posting articles.
Then he started spamming my articles, so I banned his main IP address.
I only ban spammers like David Pierre and the idiot RE.
I don’t see Charles Hugh Smith or Mish dictating terms about posting on my site because they have their own sites. So does RE.
I can’t help it that 11,000 people per day come to my site and 5 come to his site.

You are quite the shit stirrer.
Well, golly me! I say something nice and RE has to spoil it. (I swear I did NOT dopplegang!).
Nice clarification, Jim. Don’t think anyone believed him anyway ….
I’m stirring shit here on the home front, as well.
It’s snowing/raining/mush right now. We have only a 1-car garage. Ms Freud’s new Honda is outside … my 16 year old very shiney Buick is in the garage. lol She does not like this one bit. Tough crap. I told her that her car is leased and goes back to the dealer in a couple years so who gives a shit? She doesn’t care for my logic. No, not one bit.

We have a two car garage, but there is too much kid shit in the garage, so only one car gets to go in.
Guess whose?
Avalon’s minivan will have snow encrusted on it until Monday. My little Insight will be dry and cozy.
RE smokes Smokey’s pole.
Admin’s 9:06 is a classic. Who needs Smokey.

i’m gonna be laughing about this all day. hilarious.
Reverse Engineer is an Illuminati Pig Man who, having been egotisically hammered by Admin’s mentioning that he does not read RE’s posts, degenerated into a spamming presence on TBP and nothing more.
It’s a fact.
