When government oversteps its bounds, I'm right there.

Would that be tasing a mother alone at the park with her child or shutting down mom and pop stores while letting Wal-mart stay open? If neither, tell me exactly where the line is to get you to participate.

Like when they restrict voting rights..

I've asked this 500 times with no response, so I'll ask again. How do right wingers "restrict voting rights" of leftists in California or anywhere for that matter? I'd just be celebrating with joy if you actually answered the question, even if I could blast the logic like a nuclear bomb.

But, taxing the people for the benefit of the people, ISN'T overstepping anything..

Cool. So a Governor can tax you for the good of the people by building himself a giant, neat looking castle, and giving himself one hell of a raise, eh Con?

In fact, that's exactly what taxes are for..

Back in the 50's, when EVERYBODY was thriving, when ONE person could work and support his whole family, when ANYBODY could buy a house, when there were NO homeless people, the tax on the rich was 97%..

1)We've had this discussion before. You know the rich weren't taxed at 97%.

2)I guess the idea that blacks were oppressed in the 1950s just went bye bye. In fact EVERYBODY was thriving.

Bill Gates is worth $126,000,000,000. Do you know how much that is??? Should he wake up one morning and decide that he'd like to spend a million dollars every day, it would take him 345 years to spend it.. That's what 10 aircraft carriers cost. Count 'em TEN... Would it bother me if he and his friends had to pitch in a little more??? Nahhh..

Interesting how the Democrats have had all 3 branches of government multiple times in your lifetime, yet never pull this off for you. It's one of two things, but probably both.

1)Bill Gates can buy any politician he wants with ease.

2)They know he'd offshore everything resulting in zero tax dollars rather than what they can squeeze out of him now.

Hey look. What's this????

Lessons from history: France’s wealth tax did more harm than good

Most European countries that had wealth taxes have scrapped them over the past couple of decades

Look.. I have nothing against the wealthy.. But, OBSCENE wealth is OBSCENE.

But Con, without obscene wealth, how would Zuckerberg block right wingers, Independents, doctors and scientists from speaking on social media? You know, the scientists, doctors, hospitals, etc who they blocked from saying things like, "Are we being pressured to add COVID to maybe increase the numbers and make it look a little bit worse than it is? Yes."

But we both know that you'll happily ignore any story, whether there is objective proof of mass fudging of numbers. Why? Well Con. I'm not qualified to diagnose you in any official capacity, but I'd say you might be subconsciously putting the state in the role of your dominatrix. Maybe you like submitting to domination, and that's your business. But as for me. I like sticking it in more than taking it in. It's biology and shit. Shame on nature for my having just been born this way in what is my truth and one of my 25 self identities of liking the flag, liking guns, not liking the state having too much power, etc. I'm out of the closet now Con. Tollerate me. Accept me. Acknowledge my truth. Listen to my lack of privilege. Use your privilege to listen more and speak less. You know, try to understand my sexuality as a giver and not a taker...

Cool. Your government bankrupted a high percentage of the stores not owned by the 1% by closing them and leaving the billionaires open. And then they demonized anyone who didn't wear masks while they didn't wear them and even went to family gatherings after saying no one else could. You did nothing. You said nothing.
