earliest use of the word 'engine'

Huh, interestin

anyway...i'm off to watch something

Its the same as the North Africans that went on slave raids across Europe, even going as far as Iceland. Large swathes of southern england were abandoned for fear of being captured and enslaved to build palaces in North Africa

But everyone has completely forgotton it

Illinois is putting up tons of ads with misleading information on this new 'Fair Tax' law

https://taxfoundation.org/illinois-fair-tax/

Saying only millionaires and billionaires will pay more

"pay your fair share" <:ee:623022947220586507>

if everybody in the state paid 10%...it would officially be their fair share

from the poor to the rich ....still paying the same % but the rich still pays more because it's a bigger cash load from that same percentage

but is it total income or total wealth...because the poor don't have much but i'm pretty sure they don't want to pay taxes for what they own

and pretty much everybody pays out a chunk of what they get paid in anyway

then theres the other taxes like property ownership, sales taxes...any import taxes for goods and so on...maybe even travel taxes for those 'low carbon' states/cities

Mileage tax*

first excuse for that tax was on gas wastes

Here in litchfield County CT there's "veiw tax" if you have a nice view from your house.

2nd excuse for that was 'road repair'

now it's carbon tax

around here the stores have a view tax also...they banned shatter proof glass so ppl have to pay a tax to have bad view shutters covering all the windows and doors when they're closed

the shutters are break-in protection

Thats ridiculous.

well the shatter proof glass ban went into effect just before the lockdown

now every store that got hit by the riots has to pay out for fresh glass

and new armor shutters in some cases

Did Crowder's protest work?

Well, it is a step in the right direction but I feel that the Nursing home problem has not been dealt with
