I feel like an indentured servant whenever I think of my various local and state taxes. Even people who own their own homes aren’t free and clear. Some property taxes amount to a years worth of mortgage payments. We are slaves to the people who tax us.

And the worst part of the shame was that this guy was supposed to have been a churchman.

God gags.

Excellent point about absurdly high taxes because of mission creep in nanny government.

Looks like we’re on a roll to pay for transgressions done in the past.

Problem is, the carpet of transgressions covers everybody stretching back to Adam. So, good luck with that.

Ultimately whites will defend themselves or our nation will be destroyed.

It’s not just mission creep. It’s health bennies and pensions. Taxpayers are, for all intents and purposes, indentured servants to our ruling class.

Newton's Third Law also applies to politics (just not so clearly measurable).

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object. The direction of the force on the first object is opposite to the direction of the force on the second object. Forces always come in pairs - equal and opposite action-reaction force pairs.

Liberals are too immature and unwise to realize this.

Hey he agrees it was bad too.

So what’s new. Humans have been manipulating other humans, rather than helping their fellows on to God, for eons. I’ve had a protest in my bones about that from my childhood up but knew no Savior to deliver until I became more earnest about God and Christ than I ever would have envisaged possible.

Let’s not forget the KENNEDY family who enslaved people through the bootlegging of liquor.

100 Amazing Facts About the Negro With Complete Proof

100 Amazing Facts About the Negro No. 21: Did black people own slaves? If so, why?

One of the most vexing questions in African-American history is whether free African Americans themselves owned slaves. The short answer to this question, as you might suspect, is yes, of course; some free black people in this country bought and sold other black people, and did so at least since 1654, continuing to do so right through the Civil War. For me, the really fascinating questions about black slave-owning are how many black "masters" were involved, how many slaves did they own and why did they own slaves?

The answers to these questions are complex, and historians have been arguing for some time over whether free blacks purchased family members as slaves in order to protect them — motivated, on the one hand, by benevolence and philanthropy, as historian Carter G. Woodson put it, or whether, on the other hand, they purchased other black people "as an act of exploitation," primarily to exploit their free labor for profit, just as white slave owners did.

The evidence shows that, unfortunately, both things are true. The great African-American historian, John Hope Franklin, states this clearly: "The majority of Negro owners of slaves had some personal interest in their property." But, he admits, "There were instances, however, in which free Negroes had a real economic interest in the institution of slavery and held slaves in order to improve their economic status."

Nicolas Augustin Metoyer of Louisiana owned 13 slaves in 1830.
He and his 12 family members collectively owned 215 slaves.

How come this was not a problem the last 8 years or past 40 years that Democrats have controlled NYC?

[HiTech RedNeck]

I’m not sure what blame is suitable to lay for defying a sumptuary prohibition. But other crime surrounded many such attempts.
