The reigning liberal ideology foundationally believes that federal spending is existential to every individual. They have no concept of how little it matters to most people. Or how much is actually in the hands of states, counties, and municipalities. It's deep into delusion territory.


The US Treasury and currency aren't important?


In middle school, I learned this was called "assertion without evidence."


What claims do you think needed some extra evidence in that parageaph?


1. The reigning liberal ideology foundationally believes that federal spending is existential to every individual.

2. They have no concept of how little it matters to most people.

3. Or how much is actually in the hands of states, counties, and municipalities.

4. It's deep into delusion territory.


I dont see what evidence would be sufficient to appease you on any of these. I think you mistook an interpretive comment expressing the meaning and value of events.

I think the “middle school” comment is childish, and I think you regularly read and internalize interpretive material without the same expectation.

I think you’re having a bad day, and I recommend taking a break.

I will not be engaging with your comments.


Thank you; I am tired of your responses. It feels like stalking. You respond to me, apropos of nothing, when I am engaging others in conversation, as though you think I am your debate partner.

Personal attacks will get you banned here, regardless of how bad another comment is or you feel it is. No more of this, please.

Also, please do not use HN primarily for political or ideological battle. That's another line at which we ban accounts, regardless of their politics or ideology, and your account looks like it's either over that line or close to it.

If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules when posting here, we'd appreciate it.


I happily filed mine the first day taxes were able to be filed last week.

Taxes are the price of civilization.
