I'd be more sympathetic if people here didn't act like they knew what they were saying when they were saying something very much wrong.

So...taxes are rent on a national scale?  That's actually one of the best analogies I've heard in a while.  Makes a hell of a lot of sense, to boot, because the government, like a landlord, uses part of the rent money to keep the house in good working order.  At least, that's how its supposed to work on paper.

Rent is just welfare on a grand scale. Taxation is paying for the stuff you use.

The party's name is the Democratic Party. It has been since 1830. Please spell correctly.

This is interesting. We had seen some of his "edited" comics during FSTDT era already but I hadn't known that his comics had been misrepresented.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

Now we know the REAL STORY.

Thanks, very enlightening. I don't agree with his politics but now I know he isn't some Neo-Nazi bigot freak.

That said, Ron Paul's a bigot. I know Ben likes some of Paul's ideas on stuff like govt. & the Federal Reserve but I wonder if he's aware of the bigoted stuff?

Is that cartoon saying that we should go after businesses that hire illegals or that deporting illegals will be bad for the economy.

The latter, I assume.

How is that in "Best"?

Because Chairwoman Pao is censoring anything critical of her.

Once again we see UP's own agenda trying to take sway.

I will just preface this by saying I am in fact 17 years old, I am white, and I do live in America. Do I think my problems are worse than that of the people in Ethiopia? Yes, yes I do. I can explain to you in detail. I am being banned constantly. They watch what I do, they read my private messages, and they probably snicker at the things I type, and you act like you know oppression? Those Ethiopians get hurt, sure, but the time is going to come when the reddit admins are going to ban any subreddit for disagreeing with them. Where men and women will not have their say any where. And for now, we have to pay gold for people to access their funny cat pictures (sheeple scum) who won't do any subreddit activism and will only get a cheap laugh, even go1dfish would find this shit unbelievable. You act smug to people like me, but you don't even know the half of it.
