" We essentially dominate the Earth without even using military power.  We lead the way in economic and social trends.  we lead the way in commerce and growth.  However every other country in the world can consider itself sovereign and does not have to follow those trends set by the US, but they still choose to follow.  those countries that choose to avoid US influence turn into the armpits of the world (N. Korea, Cuba).  "

Until the details of any "gross receipts tax" are published its almost impossible to say who will be winners or losers.

The tax is intended to replace lots of other taxes, e.g corporation tax, sales tax and others.

My understanding is that most small businesses will not be affected much but very large tax avoiders might be.

but without precise details its impossible to know for sure.

Short answer: libertarianism means different things to different people.

The right mean one thing, the left something else, there is no agreed political definition.

It was a used by left wing anarchist groups who in order to avoid anti anarchist laws, started calling themselves libertarians instead.

so whose business is that?

socialism justifies dictatorship?  Teachers forced to swear allegiance to Chavez?? party paramilitary murdering protestors?


Yes it is my business to Comment , since this is a politics forum. Its still in no way Americas business to murder, overthrow elected governments or Tell south American people what governmnet they should have.

I know you are not stupid, so you are being deliberately deceitful here when you play the Dictatorship = bad card. You know as well as I do that USA are quite happy to support dictators if it suits American interests. Even going as far as overthrowing democratically elected governments to replace them with military dictatorships when it suits Amercian business interests.

Chavez was democratically elected. get over it.

No im  completely aware of realpolitik

Im well aware that the USA, has murdered/ propped up dictators/ organised coups and generally backed whichever side suits USA business interests for the last 50-60 years or more.

Doesnt mean I support it

you "go away" with your idiot wishlist

Posts like justinians,  make the rest of the world hope to see America get a kicking

the unbelievable arrogance.

none of yr fing business how venezuela/chile/agentina/bolivia or any other country want to run their affairs,

i personally would like to see a S AMerican joint army invade USA to eliminate twats like justinian

and Mcain / Palin are morons

I think the USA should Leave South America alone to run their own affairs how they see fit.

In other words "[The fmods owned me before I even knew it!] off "

Is this the best the right can come up with

This and "Obama is a racist", "obama is a terrorist/ muslim yikes" etc.. etc..
These kinda crap allegations only serve to reduce Republican credibility even more, if thats possible.

Why do they never have anything to say about real issues, without ridiculous hyperbole

Evolution is fact

Evolution has nothing to say about the big bang or the beginnings of life. You are confusing two entirely separate things

"factcheck, another little democratic electioneering tool pretending to be non-partisan"

Factcheck exposes lies from both sides.

Its far more balanced then the likes of V.Kemp & Flint with  their pathetic ridculous (& partisan) claims.

Nolio thats a rigged vote , you know that if youd have put 12 player fam as an option it would have won

What kind of dummy has the choices 20,20 or 15 yikes

Do it again with 20,15,12 as choices & I bet 12 will win.

Keep it at 12 player fams, 4 drafts

Seems very dumb not to have included 12 player fams as an option in your vote.
