I am and have several times. My reasons for living where I do have already been addressed previously, and anyway are irrelevant to the conversation. The quality of life in Harlan county doesn’t change whether or not I live there. It’s still crappy.

So you are saying inheritance shouldn’t be taxed? I guess I misunderstood what you were saying. Sounded to me like you thought society has a claim to that money.
Well yeah they were goaded into a war and then invaded.
You sound like Biden: you can’t fight us so better do what we say.
What if states just had another convention and agreed to separate?
Yes Appalachia doesn’t have a lot of amenities. However, most people move when they want to. There’s nothing stopping their social mobility.
? I’m saying inheritance should be taxed. Just like it is now. Just at a higher amount. A progressive scale like income tax. To reinvest that money into society so that the accident of your birth matters less. So some aren’t born with billions like Trump while others are born with nothing like it is now.
You said:
You don’t have that right now. As I pointed out it’s already taxed.
They may technically be able to but they wouldn’t. You’d never get a consensus. Just like the first time I referenced. MTG’s dream is just that.
That’s extremely naive. Might as well tell all the people who lost their homes in the floods to just leave permanently. ‘Just move’ is not an answer to every problem, as most of this thread will tell you. Next time you take issue with a single thing about America I’ll just give you the ‘Just move!’ Really adds to the conversation.
You do have that right now, but your rights change with the amount of income you want to pass to family at your death. It’s intellectually dishonest to say a right is contingent on the amount of money we are talking about. A right is a right. Society has no claim on someone’s money Irrespective of how much it is.

Theft...that money has already been taxed once when it was gained by the original earner. The govt is so greedy, it just can't keep its hands off ppls things. Again..there isn't a finite pie of money that progressives pretend there is to earn. If your accident of birth doesn't matter...thats pretty much showing it doesn't by not giving someone else the money who isn't family.
I disagree. My parents had to move out of state to work. So did my uncles. Cincinnati, Detroit, Indianapolis are full of people whose grandparents moved up there from the mountains.
We’ve always been a people who moved. I get not being able when maybe you’re caring for relatives but at some point, opportunity demands action.
The accident of your birth does matter now. Hugely. You don’t have the billions Trump inherited do you?
So how does that jive with your secession idea? No hopping borders into those blue cities for opportunities like you’re pitching.
Now do ppl coming from central/south America
I agree. That’s why the ones who choose to risk such a journey are to be commended for their bravery and initiative.
Until some boy claiming to be a girl rapes one in said bathroom, see, e.g. Loudon county Virginia.
I feel like Bridgeman is the canuck.
The lefts racism is exploding right now

It’s sad how easily you fools are fooled into believing most anything.
Opportunity emerges where freedom exists. Always has. The proof is in the last two years: people are abandoning blue areas in droves.
That, and more, but I'm not talking about the voters. I'm too lazy to type out a more thorough post, maybe some other time, but I think the vast majority of elected Rs are just telling you what you want to hear, don't really care about America the way patriotic R voters do.
No, not really.
As I said, there's a difference between information and processing it competently. You're literally comparing Luxembourg to Appalachia like you're making some point.
America is far better than Europe for the average person, even well below average for that matter, and it's not even close: just ask any European immigrant and I'm sure they'd be happy to tell you why.
I know this won’t be a popular opinion but rape happens. If someone wants to rape a boys or girls sign on the door isn’t stopping them. Unisex bathrooms should have fully closed stalls which imo would actually cut down on assaults.
I was actually going to ask that as they have similar writing styles. But I honestly don’t really care. If he wants to reveal that then he can, if not, to each his own. Doxing people on the interwebs isn’t a concern of mine.
Just wanted to point out that Dion says he wants to stay here and make this country a better place, blah blah blah, but dude can't even convince one person on a message board to buy his BS.
No matter how many novellas he writes trying.

Kind of like how @bradyjames thought you were an honorable man and would pay your bet?
Sorry, Brady, no insult to you.
"better" place means communist place
This place is a far-right cesspool. Obviously my leftism isn’t going to be well received. I’m here to challenge y’all’s preconceptions, not preach to the choir. I don’t need that social reassurance like y’all do.
Reported crime under Biden in 2021 doesn't look much different than under Trump to me. It was higher when DT left office than when he entered, 403 vs. 398 per 100K, per this:WATCH: Trump announces ‘plan to end crime and restore law and order’
