He een using no bible text I know about. His basis is bare stupidity and seems like fear

Right, like if you go on a date with someone you know, how can you ever prove you were raped? Better to keep quiet

I dont know why people go to church to listen to ignorance. Can you imagine an abused female going to this pastor for help after hearing this nonsense?

I wonder of that had anything to do with the weeks old vegetables they had on the shelf this weekend... not everything but a number of items visibly rotting

This is an attempt to grab taxes from the digital giants wherever they may be. That's the real target of this bill.

I get your *theoretical* point, my point is we could be taxed at 50% and the roads would still be crumbling. Why? Because when revenue increases the bid prices on contracts will increase. I remember clearly when every bid submitted for a govt building jumped exponentially to 20m. Uncanny. With our current system "*undertaxation*" has no meaning, we'll never have enough

We cant be undertaxed. Or rather its unknowable. What we do know is our taxes are badly managed, if theyre badly managed we cannot determine if we have "*enough*". No govt charges taxes just to hoard money. Too much money comes into this country we should be the last place on earth with crumbling infrastructure. Where is the hole in the bucket?

And then there are the people who will use power to block voices. This is already happening without power and aided blindly by other "*well*" thinking individuals. What will happen once they have governmental power?

Not fatalistic at all. I listen to the conversations around local govt and the scariest thing for me is that the proponents have such confidence that once you put power *in the hands of the people*, everything will change. I think this is the same 1967 approach. What we actually found was the people who were *just like us* ended up acting just like the oppressors. My advocacy is to get the environment right. The biggest is financial accountability with penalties that have teeth so people know its not ok to give the landscaping contract to my cousin, just because he's my cousin, its not ok to fast track the crown land approval for the man who worked really hard on my campaign. These practices have to be abolished if we're to get anywhere. Otherwise all we'll do is change the faces of the abusers

I looked it up and its quite amazing. The IRS offers a whole bunch of avenues before they come looking for your tings. They first offer a 180 payment plan, if that doesnt work a monthly payment plan, if that doesnt work you can even ask if they can reduce your tax burden because its too much or financial hardship, if that doesnt work you can apply to delay the payment and they also say **it is important to contact us* (the phones dont work here and noone responds to email... but anyway..). They say that because they realize communication is the most important thing. @bonefish still dont get it

Maybe they offer all of this already but their strongman messaging has just been bad
