Please read the comments in the Reason article. Autumn Billings has a track record of distorting the facts.
"Last Independence Day, several protesters were arrested following a demonstration that turned violent outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Prairieland Detention Center."
This was not a spontaneous act. The Antifa folks set up a deadly ambush of federal officials.
"An investigation into the incident found the stolen information ranged from names, phone numbers, addresses and dates of birth to the last four digits of Social Security numbers and tax IDs."
Why should any company have your SSN or tax ID unless explicitly required by law? A credit check is one thing, but afterward they must delete the entire SSN and the credit report — as if they never possessed it.
Businesses required to keep it for tax/financial reporting (e.g., banks) should be banned from using it for any verification or identification purposes.
The income tax needs to be replaced with a consumption tax. The income tax is a terrible system for an internet based economy.
To ensure that the consumption tax doesn't hit the poor too hard the govt can determine how much someone at the poverty line would pay, on average, in monthly taxes ie$200. The govt then deposits $200 monthly in to every US citizen's USG debit card.
Murphy is the typical ignorant politician. Iran has been chanting Death to America since 1979 and was on the verge of getting a nuke.
9/11 happened because we failed to act when we had the chance to take out UBL in the 90's. Trump is not waiting for us to get nuked. His actions are simple self-defense by putting the Persians back in charge in Iran. So oil prices go up for a month, big deal.
The world will be FAR safer when that terrorist regime is gone.
Not enough opportunity to grift off the taxpayers. Private enterprise will focus on faster, cheaper, better while the government and its contractors focus on keeping the gravy training running.
One side issues the judge brought up is that no points go on the driver's record with a red light camera offense. The entire point of the points system is to get bad drivers off the road. But people can have numerous red light infractions and still keep their license.
Apple and F1 reach 5-year media deal, bringing all races to Apple TV streaming in the U.S. Starting in 2026 all F1 events will be exclusively on Apple TV.
Property taxes have no place in a free society. That kind of tax is also known as rent payments. If you stop paying the tax the REAL owner of the property evicts you from the property.
The solution is to replace the property tax with a sales tax.
To ensure that the sales tax doesn't hit the poor too hard the state can determine how much someone at the poverty line pays on average in sales taxes every month ie $200. The state then sends a check for $200 to every state resident every month.
ICE knows illegals are less inclined to register to vote knowing that ICE monitors voter rolls.
