Worst, you advocate for government reimbursing people/businesses when they do harm to them...stealing property, shutting them down, etc.

as you said "And history shows people eventually want to give more and more of their responsibility to government."...which is totally correct

So why do you continue to support the above positions based on your own quote?

Please explain why this message is being reported.

That is wise - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 2/16 08:25:38

Too bad you do not show - meatiger MU - 2/16 08:32:14

That is because you only know how to talk about 3 things - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 2/16 08:33:17

So government is only bad - meatiger MU - 2/16 08:35:00

Show me where I have said that - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 2/16 08:40:17

If you have a poor view of the government - El-ahrairah BAMA - 2/16 08:45:57

Defense is their job - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 2/16 08:50:47

We have a second amendment and are surrounded by oceans - El-ahrairah BAMA - 2/16 08:57:25

This is what always happens in these discussions - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 2/16 08:58:57

So is the military legitimate - El-ahrairah BAMA - 2/16 09:00:52

I believe the military is legitimate - yes - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 2/16 09:02:25

- 2/16 09:49:22

You also support the bombings and military intervention - meatiger MU - 2/16 09:03:29

Depends on the reasons for the bombings - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 2/16 09:05:41

No, the positions are consistent - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 11/2 12:10:10

Some cave dwelling dirt worshipper gets bombed - El-ahrairah BAMA - 2/16 09:08:17

How can a potential threat - meatiger MU - 2/16 09:07:01

When we have been attacked, and that same group - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 2/16 09:09:44

These groups are constantly changing - meatiger MU - 2/16 09:14:50

If we continue having events like 9/11 because we sit back - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 2/16 09:18:05

Sitting back might have prevented 9/11 - El-ahrairah BAMA - 2/16 09:25:35

And that may the case - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 2/16 09:28:30

yet this... - meatiger MU - 2/16 09:29:21

Yes, my brilliance speaks for itself meat(nm) - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 2/16 09:31:45

9-11 happened almost 20 years ago - meatiger MU - 2/16 09:19:50

And I think if we have evidence of a plot against us, - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 2/16 09:22:44

"Evidence of a plot" - meatiger MU - 2/16 09:24:28

Have I not missed the last 20 years? - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 2/16 09:29:19

How many 9/11s have we had - meatiger MU - 2/16 09:35:25

One - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 2/16 09:36:41

more blind faith in government (nm) - ashtray UF - 2/16 09:23:34

9/11 was a response to the US meddling in the affairs - ashtray UF - 2/16 09:18:39

We never attacked that group though - El-ahrairah BAMA - 2/16 09:13:54

Again, you are pointing to specific failures to argue - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 2/16 09:16:31

even without knowing who the "group" is - ashtray UF - 2/16 09:10:15

or even perceived threats - ashtray UF - 2/16 09:06:40

Defense is a very very small part of what our - meatiger MU - 2/16 08:52:01

You are changing the discussion meat - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 2/16 08:52:48

you are the one that brought up "defense"(nm) - meatiger MU - 2/16 08:53:38

No, El-ahrairah did and I responded that defense is an - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 2/16 08:56:29

His view is not that government is poor - meatiger MU - 2/16 08:50:20

It does have a role - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 2/16 08:51:13

An example of this would be the reparations that you - ummmm MU - 2/16 08:45:05

There were no reparations in the CARES act I was OK with - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 2/16 08:52:18

The reparations to businesses. We've talked about this - ummmm MU - 2/16 08:54:49

Yes, we have - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 2/16 08:57:02

False - ummmm MU - 2/16 09:05:24

Yes, I have a do fully support making appropriate - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 2/16 09:08:25

Pretzelly (nm) - ummmm MU - 2/16 09:09:44

No, completely consistent - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 2/16 09:11:03

You're revising history, of course. But that doesn't really - ummmm MU - 2/16 09:15:00

I am not revising history - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 2/16 09:19:21

He does not understand the leading to more issues - meatiger MU - 2/16 09:17:03

You cannot plan for a government who simply shuts you down - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 2/16 09:20:01

Yes you can - meatiger MU - 2/16 09:26:10

Yes, it is absolutely and fundamentally different meat - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 2/16 09:31:20

yes..the details are different - meatiger MU - 2/16 09:40:05

No, every aspect is different - it was a preposterous - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 2/16 09:45:18

Look at history - meatiger MU - 2/16 09:50:31

RE: No, completely consistent - ashtray UF - 2/16 09:12:19

That is approximately the time that CARES was passed and - ummmm MU - 2/16 09:13:44

He is and always has been intellectually dishonest (nm) - pickle MU

- 2/16 09:40:20

I don't consider reimbursement for direct loss a bad thing - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 2/16 09:21:40

I do. Because the govt doesn't reimburse from its own - ummmm MU - 2/16 09:30:30

Not if they played a role in those losses - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 2/16 09:33:38

The govt plays a big role in collecting taxes from me each - ummmm MU - 2/16 09:44:45

No, of course not(nm) - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 2/16 09:46:05

Why not? That $$ keeps me from investing in my business, - ummmm MU - 2/16 09:47:15

I would like to see massive regulatory relief - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 2/16 09:48:06

Why is it silly? Taxation crushes just as much as regulation - ummmm MU - 2/16 09:53:17

And both should be far less if not eliminated - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 2/16 09:58:17

Closing of a business - meatiger MU - 2/16 09:51:07

In the same way clipping your fingernails is the same as - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 2/16 09:59:06

I did not say they were the exact same - meatiger MU - 2/16 10:03:34

RE: I know I did - ashtray UF - 2/16 08:58:53

You said you supported that part of the CARES Act(nm) - meatiger MU - 2/16 08:58:03

No I did not - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 2/16 09:01:28

You realize that your support of the payments - meatiger MU - 2/16 09:02:44

I support the policy of reimbursement for direct losses - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 2/16 09:12:58
