Fair enough. What if the "air conditioner" cost $500, and the tax was raised to be 1:1 cost? So that $500 air conditioner started to cost $1000, and every other item deemed a "luxury/non-necessity" by the government was taxed at 1:1? If the A/C unit cost $500, but tax was 4:1, so the total was then $2500, would that still be ok? Would that be ok, or is there a limit to being reasonable?

Is it at all possible for you to judge each situation on its own merits? This isn't a common statement at all. Sometimes a gun won't help you, sometimes it will. That doesn't mean the woman from your last thread should have had a gun, that doesn't mean the man from this article should not have had a gun.
Hey BU, you said that one of the great things about this country was that i could insult the most powerful people on the planet and nothing happen...........
no so fast...................

Can't see vids here, I'll have to check it out later. I stand by my statement from before though.
Ok so I watched the video and yes that proposed legislation is a terrible idea but I'm not worried that it will actually pass. The wording as summarized in the video is obviously ridiculously broad. It's funny that you put that quote at the bottom though since applying it to the video would mean that everyone rules over everyone if such legislation became law.

It's not about faith, it's about practicality. Stupid legislation is proposed every day in some state legislature. I simply don't have enough mental energy or the inclination to get worked up about every proposed bill anywhere in the country that I disagree with. If you think this bill is worth your time and energy, that's your call. It's not worth mine.
