I mean voter turnout for school board elections DOES have the worst turnout of all though.

That door swings both ways. Lobbying should be illegal. You shouldn't be forced to live under laws based on religious beliefs you yourself don't believe it or practice.

Reality check: "China was the world’s most important source of international travelers. Its 155 million tourists spent more than a quarter of a trillion dollars beyond its borders in 2019." Those numbers dropped during the COVID pandemic, but are recovering. Just for the sake of comparison, the number of tourists from China is near half the total population of the USA.

This is the only place I've heard anything about this so I thank you very much

This is so incredibly dumb to anybody who has thought about it for more than 5 mins. You live in a democracy, you must participate in it, and not only when you're winning.

Facts please. Not rumors. Women also are at borders escaping persecution and forced labor and forced religions. Why they are leaving with men. Young families.

That’s not true. They escape. It’s forced military. They want out. They pay mules also.

"Behind every blade of grass in America, is a person with a gun.." was allegedly one reason Japan had for not invading the United States in WW2. They severely underestimated us, but they understood the power of the 2nd Ammendment. Never, ever, ever, EVER let them take our right to bear arms.

If we all behaved this way the country would be a banana republic in a few.weeks.

I love how you guys can't decide of China is on the verge of collapse or on the verge of conquering the US. "People don't leave china unless they let you"? Bro, China is huge and most of it is STILL rural. If you want to go, you're going and ain't nothing they can do.

This dip only thinks that’s true for public entities. It’s true for all lobbying. You don’t get to decide as a customer how a company lobbies. For the most part you can’t even look up how they lobby. It’s a shitty argument if it’s only focused towards public agencies. It’s a great one if he expands that to include all lobbying, that is not done by legitimate nonprofit groups. Not foundations setup by rich folks and corporations. Not churches. But on God, true Nonprofits.

I thought lobbying already was illegal and they just had a workaround

vote?

"Gee, I wish the government could use my hard-earned cash to extract more of my earnings from me!" said nobody ever

Lobbying = bribery

Does anyone know what the formal definition of what lobbying is here?

Lobby? You mean bribing.

EXACTLY if you don't like the services OFFERED by the collection of your taxes YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO OPT OUT AS LONG AS THOSE SERVICES AREN'T AVAILABLE TO YOU EITHER.

Or just yah know....

And stealing pay for my car I have to pay the government to be able to drive it I paid for my house I have to pay the government to be able to live in it and if they don't they take it it's not right play me a countries in the world where if you buy your home you own it it's yours no one can take it

Bro all the beer brands are owned by Anheuser-Busch. Please stop this illusion of choice convo - our money still goes into the same pockets regardless of where we shop

He should be a big man and give back his pay to the taxpayers.😊

The fact that so many people think the analogy here makes sense is more proof of just how stupid our society has become.

If you don't like Google and Amazon web services 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 too bad

I HEARD DONT PAY MY TAXES!

we are doomed

Right on

Military age men ???

Please...

Remove the fallout ghouls from our government

This comment section is crazy. If you don't like what your city is doing, then you lobby for them to stop doing it. Taxes don't only go to things you don't like.

Just vote

They dont care who our President is folks.

The last year of Trumps presidency travel was mostly banned due to covid.maybe why there were fewer that year. Of course, they are getting braver.

lol yes, if you don’t pay your taxes and continue to draw from the community around you it will result in you being either removed from said community your a parasite to or being forced to pay your share. Lol “I won’t pay my taxes cus the government puts my needs behind that of the overall community, I’m such a victim when someone comes and reminds me of my civic duties to the country a claim to love” foh

You can leave the country. Go live in Somalia if you don't like taxation with representation.

What are we talking about here? Are these not elected officials that do that lobbying? IDK. Do we not have a social contract that we honor to live in a civilized society? You go out and campaign for the people you support and donate to the people you support and try to get others to see things your way…that is free speech. If you don’t win, you suck it up and honor that social contract. You’re talking about maybe $0.04 of every tax dollar. C’mon. Really? Ok, don’t pay any taxes, but you can’t use anything funded by tax dollars. You can’t drive on the roads, you can’t call the cops, you can’t call the fire department, etc. I think there are better things to argue than the $0.04, which is why the right is pushing to do away with Social Security since that’s about $0.24 of every dollar. They don’t want to touch the $0.13 of every dollar that goes to a bloated defense budget, because the military-industrial complex has very well funded lobbyists to prevent that from happening. Anyway, enough on that. Don’t quote me on the numbers. This is a nothing burger from someone exercising his free speech to complain about forced speech.

Tax is theft. The cool kind of theft that actually helps people.

Those two gals are rockstars - if we had a country full of them, we would NOT find ourselves in such dire straits!

You don't like to pay your taxes? Well, then if your house starts burning down, don't call the fire department. If somebody starts to rob, you don't call the police.

Um not suprized with all the propaganda from Republicans about the border its like they are advertising the way they talk and Trump talks about the border they're inciting the wrong people with their ridiculous and pathetic campaign strategies they only contribute to the problem and make it worse

Great show! Keep producing great content, Ya'll! - Mckinney TX

So the lesson here is that Trump is soft on immigrants China invading our country but Biden has caught almost a 100 times more Chinese

Funny he says, “military aged” men. Not immigrants seeking amnesty due to just what he said, they won’t let you go. More propaganda

Not if I have a gun. Level playing field.

Lmao "forced speech" 🤣, so you want the government to stop enforcing taxes but to enforce free speech, you cannot make up this level of stupid.

So why don't you work with Border Patrol

If you don't like your representatives vote someone new in.........

They have built an army here in the U.S.A and the Biden administration has allowed it to happen
