Externality Taxation: The Marxist Wet Dream

[IBDaMann]

They are called externalities.

Too funny! This isn't economics. This is a Leftist propaganda term used to legitimize taxing the laws of physics. Humans cannot get around physics so if physics can be taxed then Leftists have hit the mother lode. The Democrats have already tried taxing nature in Maryland by taxing rain! Imagine, every time it rains, having to cut a check to the government! Democrats in the Maryland State government were orgasmic over their rain tax until the actual residents of Maryland who had to write the checks told their representatives that if they didn't repeal the rain tax that they wouldn't be reelected. But that was only a temporary defeat. Democrats continue to pursue excessive taxation in the hopes of finally destroying capitalism once and for all.

"Externalities" is the Leftist's wet dream, the legitimization of taxing the 2nd law of thermodynamics by claiming that energy used to deliver goods and services is no longer available for others or for future generations ... and that someone needs to compensate (similar to "reparations") humanity for this loss ... in the form of a tax payment to the government, of course. "Externalities" carries the brilliant side benefit of allowing the government to levy the exact same tax onto the manufacturer/producer, all middlemen/retailers as well as the consumers without having to point to anything specific beyond the fact that the products were obviously produced and the services were obviously rendered. Also, any time the government's thirst for additional revenue kicks in, the seriousness of "energy depletion" can be hyped, capitalism can be publicly denigrated (followed by a series of reports by the MSM on the urgency to dissolve capitalism before we reach the tipping point although it might already be too late!). For any government's pet projects, energy "shortages" can be announced, accompanied by steep increases in the externality taxes. It would not be a stretch for a government to pull an "energy pandemic" hoax if the stakes were high enough.

"Externalities" = legitimization to tax physics and to give government the absolute power to destroy.

A 'rain tax'.
You've really gone around the mountain on this one, IBDaMann.

You are quite the self-delusional moron.

Maryland Governor Signs Repeal of State's Rain Tax

You Leftists have no limits to the absurd lengths you will go and have no shame too great to bear that can cause you to relent on the dishonesty even for a day.

"(Reuters) - Maryland’s “rain tax” on stormwater runoff designed to protect the ailing Chesapeake Bay would be repealed under legislation Republican Governor Larry Hogan unveiled on Tuesday."

Yeah. Clean Water. Who needs that?
And ... 2015? How desperate are you to avoid Trump and his failed Environmental policies.

Trump has no failed policies.

Trump has no failed policies.

So ... what's that Trump Health Care again?

 

[IBDaMann]

So ... what's that Trump Health Care again?

Eliminating the Obamacare Mandate! It would be one of the biggest wins in American history if it weren't simply correcting one of America's biggest screw-ups in American history.

Would you care to try again?

low iq moron still think its the 1950's

Hahaha... yep. It's not "cool" anymore to attack migrants (too brown, sounds racist) any more, so the Reichtards have reverted to calling everyone who doesn't goosestep along with them "Marxists," "commies," "socialists." The fascists cannot exist w/o enemies to scare each other with.

real low IQ stuff with his memes and all

Remember, you don't know what Marxism is, what it stands for or even that it is a totally Leftist ideology.

Weren't you trying to tell me that you were really educated and smart? Did anyone believe you? Personally, I don't think you know anything, which explains why you are the quintessential intellectual coward. I perused your posting history and I can't find any intelligent contribution to any thread coming from you.

Have you tried YAP? You'd probably fit in better there.

Everything we don't like is Marxism.

Trump has no failed policies because.....wait for it...... he HAS no policies. There is literally no Republican platform. Trump and his followers are completely devoid of a single idea.

Yes. Sad, ... but true.

Nope. Broccoli is not Marxism. Fascism, however, is ... despite your desperate denial.

Just for laughs, tell us one more time how Hitler and the NAZIs somehow did not intend to bring full socialism to Germany because they were actually conservatives who wished to bring unfettered capitalism to Der Fatherland.

 

[IBDaMann]

real low IQ stuff with his memes and all

I would remind you that my graphics/images were made by me and therefore are my own expression just as are my own words. They are not memes until someone else uses them. I specifically wish to thank you for the inspiration for this graphic:

Your posts, on the other hand, qualify as low-IQ crap strictly on their own merits. Only ThatOwlCoward edges you out for sheer, raw mindlessness and intellectual cowardice.

Enjoy!

 

[IBDaMann]

Trump has no failed policies because.....

Thank you for the acknowledgment.

There is literally no Republican platform.

You couldn't find a single person who doesn't know what MAGA means.

.... he HAS no policies.

Absurd. Trump's list of major accomplishments is a mile long and a matter of public record. Only by OBEYING your political slavemasters would make such a brazenly delusional statement and believe that anyone would buy it.



You're a gullible Leftist moron.

Peas are Marxism.

I never said the Nazis wanted Unfettered Capitalism. The Nazis had the same kind of Capitalism we have. Most businesses were private, some were public, and the government created regulations here and there for private business.
