@michaeljknowles This race will permanently fracture the GOP. Self inflicting wound. Great for libertarians like me, bad for the GOP, bad for the President
English
This term, Massie has voted with the GOP 77.7% of the time. That rate is much lower than the median GOP congressman, who voted with the party 95% of the time.
Massie's rate of voting with the Republicans is also lower than his own record in the last term (91%), which itself was lower than the term before that (95%).
You can like Massie. You can think he's right to buck the party. But you can't deny the trend, and you can't deny the VP's observation.

We can cut a lot of waste fraud and abuse privatized a lot of inefficient government programs, and the rest of involuntary taxes can be covered by voluntary ones. It doesn’t have to be all sin taxes. It could be usage taxes for big businesses who want to do business in our state so they would have to pay a usage tax in lieu of an income tax. That’s why WE NEED NANCY MACE FOR GOVERNOR! SHES A WAVE MAKER!
English
@GuidoVin @NancyMace you can’t cover all the costs with “sin” taxes. but I agree those should be higher. a sales tax is inherently regressive bc poor people have to spend all their income just to stay alive. given the option, property taxes should go.
English
Which would you prefer? Eliminate the state income tax or property taxes?
Please pick one (although truth be told I want to do both).
English
@VolumeDecider @NancyMace So in the example I gave I propose the government would be able to decide what gets taxed. I prefer smaller government. That’s why I’m advocating for less taxes, especially less involuntary taxes. A flat consumption tax would be a good option because it’s voluntary.
English
@GuidoVin @NancyMace So you get to decide for everyone what should be considered voluntary taxable? Are you the moral police? How about just the flat consumption tax? 10 percent on everything your friendly neighborhood crack dealer buys.
English
@Vagabond4L9 Huh? Dems want govt to control everything like LIRR….. I want less government. Libertarianism is the polar opposite to socialism
English
Privatize the LIRR.
The recent strike threat by LIRR unions perfectly illustrates the core problem with government monopoly: captive riders (300,000+ daily) have no alternatives, so unions wield monopoly bargaining power backed by the ability to shut down service and extract concessions from politicians who spend other people’s money. Taxpayers foot the subsidies and bailouts; riders get the delays and higher fares.
Privatization ends the farce. Private owners face direct revenue loss from any strike and real competition (cars, buses, rideshares, or rival rail operators). They would negotiate market-driven contracts, cut waste, innovate on scheduling and fares, and deliver reliable service—or go broke. No more political theater, no more involuntary taxpayer underwriting of union power.
Government can’t run a railroad efficiently. Markets can. The strike threat proves it.
English
@GuidoVin Get fukd liberal retard. Unions will never die.
English
@NJSciretta You’re doing the bidding for big corporations without even wanting to, slick.
English
@NJSciretta lol no spin, my take is the union workers would be better off if the LIRR was privatized and income tax was eliminated. So can you meet me at the 50 yard line and walk back your poison to entrepreneurs and say poison to Big business?
English
@GuidoVin Careful, you’re gonna break your neck with spins like those.
English
@NJSciretta If you’re poison to entrepreneurs than you are a gift to the big corporations. That doesn’t sound too progressive to me. Small business entrepreneurs are part of the WC and are just as important to society as union workers
English
@GuidoVin People like you that have no interest in strengthening the public sector aren’t going to vote for me. I am poison to “entrepreneurs” and I’m gonna keep it that way.
English
There never been an instance that privatization improved anything.
Like we already know that this was a huge psyop to destroy unions, thank you for proving that point.

@Tzor Right now NY taxpayer income taxes is keeping the LIRR solvent anyway
English
@GuidoVin I don't think it would work. Traditionally, passenger service has always been barely profitable if at all. In the 19th century, mail service propped up the revenues. Freight is the revenue generator and the New York & Atlantic is already privatized from the LIRR.
English
If you’re going to win any elections you need to learn how to Make friends and Influence people. You’re attacking me, someone you don’t know, because I said people making 150k or less shouldn’t pay income taxes. There is no constitutional, moral or fiscal reason for income taxes, especially for WC people.
English
Nah, mine is “thanks pal have a great day”. My message to you is come on back to Long Island from SC and maybe you can learn something about how the WC live here. But you’re a libertarian, I have very little faith that you know or care how NY government works except for when you guys suckle <$70bil from its teats.
English
@NJSciretta That’s your message to the ticket collectors on the train? 🤦♂️
English
Voting for a third party has never been more important than right now. The true wasted vote is the one that keeps rewarding the same entrenched political machine, which continues to expand government power, pile on unsustainable debt, and drag us into endless wars. For far too long they have convinced Americans that we only have two choices, but breaking free from this failing duopoly is the only way to demand real accountability and a better future.
English
@Freedom585G I understand that sentiment. I’ve come to the conclusion we can’t vote our way out, both parties corrupted to the core. End the income tax, end the bailouts, end the Fed
English
@GuidoVin Disagree. I think a good government could manage through this. I don’t think they should be able to strike though.
English
I want to follow Thomas Massie followers. Drop a pro Massie
English
@NJSciretta If you remove the income tax for people making under 150k and that conductor will get a way bigger raise and have a way bigger smile
English
No one outside the Everything App buys this snake oil. The trains are never getting privatized, there will always be engineers/mechanics to hire, and when this strike is over you’re still gonna have to hand your ticket over to the conductor who can feed his family on that 5% raise with a smile on your face.
