The fact that he's still a free man isn't for lack of trying on his part. He can't seem to stay out of handcuffs. Odd that a Hispanic guy (albeit one with a totally German name!) is painting Confederate flags. Maybe he's not clear on what they symbolize?

Making and selling art is productive even if you don't like his painting and the confederate battleflag is part of American history.

I wasn't commenting on that.

However, this nonsense of Red States/Blue States receiving more or less than they pay, is all nonsense. The information comes from a study done in 2005 or so. This was long before the real estate/mortgage crisis. Places that had a huge run up in real estate prices paid a lot more taxes based on that before it all came crashing down.

Those same places have received massive amounts of taxpayer assistance in terms of covering bank losses.

Such nonsense.

The figures I looked at were from 2014.

And this is from Post 29:

Once again, this horrible human being - who is proudly embraced as a folk hero by millions of people with really screwed-up priorities and values - is in trouble with the law.

Quote:
On Thursday afternoon, George Zimmerman, the Florida man who was charged in the 2012 shooting death of Trayvon Martin, tweeted nude photos of a woman he claimed cheated on him "with a dirty Muslim."

Neither the images nor the woman's contact information appear to have been posted consensually, likely making the tweets a violation of Florida's sexual cyberharassment law, which Gov. Rick Scott signed earlier this year. Florida is one of 17 states to enact legislation regarding the posting of nude images without consent within the past several years, according to Reuters.
