And they're using our tax dollars with the Coast Guard to help the Bahamians, and they're not even Americans. Go yell at Trump, 'cause that sounds like something you shouldn't be approving of.

Called humanitarian aid after a disaster.

A bit different than stealing money to give to people who refuse to work.

They need help because of circumstances beyond their control. The "layabouts" don't need or deserve help. Big difference.

No still stealing, according to your definition.

The taxes are, yes. Do you have a point, or are you just being obtuse to be obtuse?

Just pointing out you seem to be okay with stealing, depending on what it's used for which is just like all the Democrats who think one thing may be important and another thing not. A wall, and humanitarian aid in some cases is okay stealing

Still, if you wanted to help your neighbor whose home is destroyed by a tornado, you still go to jail by getting someone else's money without asking.

If it's not against the Constitution to tax, then it must be Constitutionally upheld or at least neutral if the Constitution says nothing against it. I see no difference to uphold some parts of the Constitution even though you never signed on any dotted line, but pretend this one part is outrageous to enforce. It's just as Just to enforce someone's freedom as speech, as it is to legally tax. It's all, not just the parts you agree to. That's not an option.

I still consider the taxes theft. Pointing out the difference in how they are spent was not the question, until a few of us explained the difference between disaster relief and handouts.

But all taxpayers have as much right to pick and choose what to spend them on, not just you to call what's right. We do it by contacting and voting for representatives.

It's like I'm playing cards with my brother's kids.

Trumpworld Anxiety Grows Over a Rising Elizabeth Warren

Quote:

According to three people who have spoken to Trump about Warren over the past two months, the president has specifically highlighted what he views as her surprising political and populist talents during the Democratic primary, and has told multiple advisers and associates that he hears she could be “tougher” in a general election than many initially expected. One of these sources said Trump asked the room if they thought Warren was a “fighter.”
