When you spend money in the trillions they got to get more revenue. But unlike the story I doubt the money collected will go to where it was intended to go. Just punishes the law abiding citizens.
How about a $10 tax on each high falutin' coffee drink at Starbucks and all the Starbucks wannabe businesses across the USA?? All you guys can go back to cowboy coffee and let the Liberal retards pay the new tax??When you spend money in the trillions they got to get more revenue. But unlike the story I doubt the money collected will go to where it was intended to go. Just punishes the law abiding citizens.
Not arguing, just saying. Not necessarily strong support, they just don't object. Starbucks says "they obey state rules & regulations".Why punish Starbucks, it's one business that has shown a very strong support for the 2A.:yup:
Of course it won't. The damn revenue for Social Security doesn't even stay within the system. If every dime paid in to SS were to stay there instead of be raided by the government as a type of piggy bank, there'd be no talk about SS failing in the coming decades.But unlike the story I doubt the money collected will go to where it was intended to go.
Forget the cigarettes and alcohol... they already tax guns and ammo, and you and I pay those taxes... what makes you think they can't raise those taxes?Of course it won't. The damn revenue for Social Security doesn't even stay within the system. If every dime paid in to SS were to stay there instead of be raided by the government as a type of piggy bank, there'd be no talk about SS failing in the coming decades.
Can't do a polling tax, so there is little chance that this can go through. Makes it that more unobtainable for the poor, and less likely that they can practice the right, which has already been deemed unconstitutional by SCOTUS.
Wish they'd stop saying "But cigarettes and alcohol!"... those aren't Constitutionally protected rights.
Should they state they defy state rules & regulations?Not arguing, just saying. Not necessarily strong support, they just don't object. Starbucks says "they obey state rules & regulations".
That isn't the point.Should they state they defy state rules & regulations?
Sales tax is an across the board tax, doesn't exclude or pick on one particular thing. We also tax the gas that people use to get to polling places, still not a poll tax.Forget the cigarettes and alcohol... they already tax guns and ammo, and you and I pay those taxes... what makes you think they can't raise those taxes?
