Spun Dog posted:Didn't Brownback try this too and now the state is basically bankrupt? No, property tax is still there, but all business owners that run LLCs don't pay income tax, which I don't think translates to the workers. Supposedly a bunch of businesses switched over to LLCs from other types of businesses, which doubled the amount of businesses getting a tax break. Brownback and the Repub senators of the state have refused to change the law for fear of "raising taxes." Then like two years ago they passed a tax hike on other stuff that was the largest in the state's history, but on stuff like cigarettes and alcohol. Kansas' Government is such poo poo, like Kris Kobach pushed for a special investigation team to research voter fraud. Got it, then found like 8 cases. And all of them were like someone moved, got set an earlier voter card, and didn't know it was illegal to fill it out while in a new state. You could tell that they wanted to catch illegal aliens voting so bad, but found nothing.

Liberals/the left fall for Fake News about as much as the right, but the difference is when we find out it isn't true, we adjust our worldviews accordingly, rather than doubling down on the false belief.

NikkolasKing posted:It was a tragedy that killed tons of people. And not the plantation owners but the poor whites who the plantation owners sent off to fight and die for them. Please don't being confederate revisionism into this thread. Confederate states left by a convention, legislature or in some cases flat out referendum. While there were absolutely those who voted against the war, the 'cause' was absolutely seen as something for the common man. On average, 31% of all southern families owned slaves, and for a majority of those who didn't the reason wasn't moral, it was economic. The civil war wasn't a bunch of dupes being sent off to fight rich people's war, it was a culture of racism and chattel slavery trying to defend itself, and that extended down to the common voter. Excusing it or trying to pretend that slavery was somehow wasn't buried in the very concept of the south does those who died a disservice.

Shimrra Jamaane posted:People's perception of the 60s is seriously clouded by the usual highlights. For example the Vietnam War was ridiculously popular for basically the entire decade, despite the high profile student protests. I think people also treat "left" and "right" as static. A lot of people on the left in the 60s got all they wanted and more and are now boring centrists nervously eyeing far far more progressive teen "swjs" and getting a little sweaty about new ideas and wishing they could stick to their own new ideas that are now 50 years accepted. Some people probably actually change opinion and get more conservative as they age. But you also can get more conservative just thinking the same thing forever till your youthful ideas are regressive attitudes from a generation ago.

Boxing matches were poltical, disagreeing with certain people was communism, cops were going around killing people and getting away with it. Not much of a difference except technology these days - well that and the toxic effects of social media.

Not much of a difference except technology these days - well that and the toxic effects of social media. In the 60's people thought that political discussion was ruined forever because of the toxic impact of too many radio stations and people could just tune in to their favorite one and have them describe the news to them. Then they said that TV made people too superficial and was a toxic impact on discourse which should be about the content of the speech and not the person delivering it.
