Actually capping rates would be a terrible idea. Saying you will do that to get votes is a good idea.
Then you have zero right to complain when Progressives do the same exact thing.

How is the government picking winners and losers when it's the decisions of individuals which dictate who enjoys this tax policy?
By creating policies or laws that treat people differently.

I'm saying there are areas where this is acceptable.
There are not.

If there isn't, then there's no place for any government. Is that your stance?
I'm a small-l libertarian for a reason.

The government would be allowing any American to qualify, though.
The OPPORTUNITY is there.
You're upset the RESULTS won't be.

That doesn't answer my question.

The results only differ due to government policy. That is the opposite of equality.

Government policy affects reality in some way, more at 7.

Everyone has access to the same opportunities.
That doesn't mean that any scenario that is operating under equality is acceptable. But it would be unacceptable for a reason other than equality.

Let’s cut access to credit while we're diving into recession 3 in the last 4 years

It's not going to pass the muster. I spoke as if it would, but I really meant if it had. The financial sector would fight it and win.

Which is why I think it is a good idea. I also think we should ballot harvest. Anything the left does to win we should do twice as much.

Thats exactly whats happening
This is why conservatives will never win anything ever again

Yes, it's absolutely fantastic that we have absolutely no idea what ANY politician will do until they get sworn in.
Pander to the lowest common denominator and then get elected. Then have no what the frick their intentions are for 4 years.
You're just a NPC rooting for a team at this point.

I'm salaried. I can't get OT. I do not qualify. Yet I would work the same amount of hours as someone who gets OT.
Someone who works a 40 hour week at one job, and a 20 hour week at another will not qualify.
Income is income.

Stating you are a Libertarian let's us know that you want NO GOV.
Small Gov does not = NO gov.

We do not know the details of the program, perhaps the government would average your working hours and salary into an hourly amount that differs per week and treats you the same as regular hourly workers.
But, even if not, you wouldn't qualify because of an agreement you signed.

There are a few conservatives around here that are actually No Gov.... not Small Gov.
We are a constitutional republic by design and that requires some gov. Our representatives should represent us and vote and govern the way we want within that frame work.

The principles that lead SFP to be against this tax policy would also lead him to be against any local government.

Because they’re not really in charge the intelligence agencies and the deep state sit down with them and say you know all that stuff you said to get elected ? Forget any of that. You’re not calling the shots we do. And you better toe the line if you wanna stay in the chair. Capeech?
So your response is "elections don't even matter."
Carry on.

Not only that, the idea of no gov or only local gov is not a constitutional republic.
