Really? So when they go to the store they are excused from sales tax?

When they buy gas they are excused from gas tax?

They are excused from property tax?

Their unemployment payments are not taxed?

Do Tell.

Religion has nothing to do with this. If a cross in or isnt' in a state seal it won't make a difference. It's not worth fighting to keep it OR eliminate it IMO but if someone wants to redesign the darn thing without one it's no skin off anyones nose and could actually be more inclusive of the population to keep it out.

It was a joke, I'm fully aware that a handful* of educated folks in Texas don't use it.

Yep, those stupid voters, yet you are here instead of your believed home state. Interesting.

Also, I'm not sure why you think retiring in some other state is some how sticking it to California, seniors don't generate a lot of revenue for the state. Furthermore, California has some of the most attractive retirement options so you're only hurting yourself.

Seriously, for retirement where else in the country matches the less populated areas of California?

The speaker is apparently unaware that this Continental Congress was 9 years prior to the adoption of the Bill of Rights.

You know of course, that Jefferson was not a Christian,

Barton told half truths, which of course, are half lies. Once he got past the founding fathers, he was off our subject.

Seriously? That video doesn't address anything, I mean seriously, you serious?!

I'll ask again, show me the parts of the constitution and bill of rights that say anything about Christianity, they do quote John Locke..... Anyhow, I don't even remember why this topic came up....

Donny-boy, enjoy those tax free Amazon purchase while they last as you'll be paying tax on them soon enough. Its all an evil liberal plot to steal money from you and give it to Hispanics to have more babies.
