They should drop off their worst prisoners in Palm Beach and around the White House. Let's see how the unpaid secret service would deal with them.

Why go on strike when they can all simply call in sick and bring the country to a halt without jeopardizing their jobs? Then let Trump deal with the mess he created. I hope they do it.

One day outages are better. A good day would be in Atlanta the day before the Super Bowl. For you republicans that means even first class would be grounded.

OK, another lesson in critical thinking skills. They have no check as it is, remember? I'd love to see how many new applicants volunteer for an unpaid position in which they are responsible for the safety of thousands of lives.

Since you seem so convinced taxation is slavery, are you in favor of eliminating all of the government, including the police, military, etc.? Or only those portions you don't personally benefit from?

Why not just charge a per capita tax? Everyone benefits from government services/benefits, so there should be a per capita tax that everyone pays.

I'm in favor of privatizing everything and Im opposed being robbed at gunpoint to provide for your benefits.
