Tax paradises should be destroyed.

If the Marines invade the Cayman Islands at the wrong time, the will have to pry my Red Stripe from my cold, dead hands.

The irony is that Art. I, sec. 9 of the U.S. Constitution forbids Congress from laying any such tax.

Well yeah, as the whole point of the US Constitution was replace the Articles of Confederation (in which the Federal government could only levy Land Value Taxes upon the states) with a system more beneficial to elites who liked speculating in land while also wanting to make sure that the bonds they bought as steep discounts would be paid in full. The Federalists were not interested in establishing a more just society.

If the Marines invade the Philippines Islands, they will have to pry the Yellow Stripe from off my cold, dead spinal column.

and money of the billionares should be confiscated and used for common good.

Discuss.

No need. It's already being used for good.

Sorry to make another reference to the most popular country in the world, but would Squonk support it if it repeated last year's event on Monaco?

 

[gay_Aleks]

KG, I thought Bulgaria is the most popular country in the world?

I feel betrayed.

I meant Bulgaria! By last year's event I meant the ATM skimming with rakia competition!

IMHO, military invasions are justified because these nations are aiding and abetting criminal activity aimed against the U.S.

Not sure if trolling or serious.

 

[plarq]

Guys, invade Cayman and US Virgin Islands?
Our pensions will be paid from confiscated properties!

 

[gay_Aleks]

Sure beats going to Iraq to look for nonexistent WMDs

Are you a commie, Squonk?

Are you suggesting the U.S. invade the U.S. Virgin Islands? Isn't that kinda like invading Texas?

 

[plarq]

Invading Texas would surely follows the US War for Oil(TM) trend.

Jade Helm is merely the beginning. You shall see it in 5 years time. The United States will wage war on each of it's own states.

I agree that in an ideal world, the United states of Bulgaria control the entire Balkans. Alexander the Great was Macedonian and therefore Bulgarian and since Greece was the cradle of Western civilisation and controlled by Macedonia, Bulgaria is the cradle of Western civilisation.

There, one more reason not to illegalise weed. Look at KG and then see what it does to people.

Suboptimal.

 

[gay_Aleks]

You say suboptimal, I say "free market".

Then again, I'd wager I would say "free market" even if you said pancakes.

The argument is justifiably in theory. It's really a matter of where you draw the line on "aiding and abetting".
