336 Unfortunately here in PA, we have high real estate
taxes, high sales tax, high state income tax, high local income taxes,
on and on...
And it's still never enough.

Be glad you are not on Long Island. A friend of mine moved there years ago. His real estate taxes were over $20K/year.

The "Washington Post" said that I refer to Jeff Sessions as "Mr Magoo" and Rod Rosenstein as "Mr. Peepers." This is "according to people with whom the President has spoken. "There are no such people and I don't know these characters, Just more fake and disgusting news to create ill will."
Trump doesn't know who Mr. Magoo is?. ;^)

386 I surprised that there isn't more support for my plan to divest the government of all the surplus assets and distribute the money via the elimination of mortgages, student debt and credit card debt (along with infrastructure spending).
The Constitution explicitly says the government should not "own" anything not absolutely necessary for the operation of the government. Russians found one of the solutions on what to do with the same type of assets when the Soviet Union broke up - give them to friends of those in power.
The Deep State does the same thing, only not on the same timetable and scale. Everyone around Clinton, Bush, Obama and everyone else to ever hold a position of power has grown rich bartering off the taxpayer's assets.
If left to the government, these assets would go the way of the trillion we gave to the big banks during the made-up loan crisis.
We need to convert our national assets to cash in a structured way over a long period of time, but immediately have access to at least half the value. Then, we need to use a method of distribution that touches the most people in the best method for the ongoing economy.
Or, we can just let the Clinton's and Obama's decide.

This is common practice. Our uber-Lib town council is happy to say, 'We haven't raised taxes', all the while that evaluations are going up.
I some jurisdictions, the value of a property is established at the time of sale, and THAT is it. It remains at that valuation until it is sold again.
I heavily favor that method. It makes the property tax much more visible and subject to criticism.

Our property values are automatically reassessed every 5 years or on sale of the property. What was funny though is counties that had reassessed to higher values got caught up in the collapse of the real estate boom. But they refused to lower taxes until someone forced them to reassess.

If your assessor is playing fast and loose with property valuations, I highly recommend a campaign to inform property holders of their right to contest their valuations. Petty small town bureaucrats don't do well when the town takes their civic rights seriously.

That's the case most places.

An Indigenous traditional healer's murder has sparked outrage in Peru, and a video has emerged showing a mob of villagers strangling the man they believed to be her killer.
That man has been identified in a statement from Peru's interior ministry as Canadian Sebastian Paul Woodroffe.
Relatives of Olivia Arevalo Lomas, 81, said that a foreigner had asked her for a healing session and then shot her to death.
The man's body was later found buried about one kilometre from Arevalo's home, and an autopsy showed he died by strangulation after receiving several blows.

It used to b that way here until the NAACP sued the State because poorer black districts didn't get as much money as rich beach front districts. The NAACP lost the case but the judge said SC should do something about the disparity anyway. So they eliminated the school portion of the property tax and passed a two cents sales tax increase on everybody to finance schools. But our county decided they just could not afford to lose that school tax so they added a "fee" to the property tax that just so happened to equal what the school tax was. And the State allowed them to get away with it. So I got yet another tax increase.

We have inflation now and we still collect taxes.
I suspect that without taxes, there is zero motivation for people to use your fiat currency. Not to go I to Luap nor territory, but why use our government theoretical untaxed currency if you know it auto inflates say 5% every year and you never have to even pay taxes in it. It becomes government employee money only and is then immediately converted to what ever free market currency is preferred.

There certainly are fads in education that get recycled every 20 years or so, and everyone gets "blown away" by the new, old thing. Word attack vs phonics comes to mind. If teachers were a bit less credulous I don't think that would be a thing.

If I could just piggyback on to that, consider all of the mass killings in Europe recently. Bataclan, Nice, Charlie Hebdo, etc. Yesterday 57 were killed in Kabul in another suicide bombing. That's probably a good thing though, because those imbeciles encourage that culture there anyway.

Eskimo: Why are you apologizing?
Bartender: Well, I assumed you prefer your sushi raw.
Eskimo: Well, I never eat raw meat of any kind. So that is no problem. By the way, may I place my snowshoes somewhere out of the way?
Eskimo: What I wanted to know about the sushi is how you serve it? Is it served on china?
Bartender: No. Our plates are cheap ceramic.
Eskimo: Oh. I only eat off china porcelain. Perhaps I can make an exception today as I need to eat some seafood to get my daily Vitamin A.

Wouldn't a majority of Confederate soldiers been fine with emancipation from a purely economic point of view?
They were in competition with slaves for labor, but the rich preferred to use slaves for anything because there was no up front cost on the individual task, so whites tended to get shafted.
Am I reading the history right?
They probably still considered themselves superior to blacks, but they'd rather not have blacks be able to completely undercut them in terms of labor at every turn.
