Whenever I see that particular phrase, this gif perfectly represents my reaction...


Seriously, that phrase is groan inducing.

How about Mercantilists?

Haven't run into that one as much, so it doesn't bother me anywhere near as much.

This is just the worst kind of statism: Reno News & Review - Top 10 worst Supreme Court decisions

I agree with their #1, the Dred Scott decision. But the only other bad decisions in their list are Plessy and Schneck. Appearing NOWHERE on the list were Korematsu v. United States, which upheld the internment of Japanese-Americans in World War II, Kelo v. New London, which upheld the taking of people's homes to give to a big corporation without just compensartion, or any of the others we've talked about.

So, what do they say is worse than racial internment camps or taking of property without just compensation? Well:

  • Adkins, which initially invalidated the Minimum Wage
  • Pollock, which struck down the Income Tax
  • FDA v. Brown and Williamson, which ruled that tobacco companies could (gasp!) advertise their completely legal product
  • Lochner v. New York, which ruled that government couldn't limit working hours per week and per day
  • Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad, which said that corporations were people (okay, I agree that one's bad, but WORSE THAN JAPANESE INTERNMENT???)
  • Third worst was Citizens United, which they ranked HIGHER THAN PLESSY! Yes, WORSE than racial segregation!!!
  • And their #2 worst case was in 2000, when the Supreme Court ruled that Bush took Florida, giving him the Presidency.
This is how statism poisons the mind, folks.

And he would pay gladly for all this... if he hadn't had to give it all away in taxes.

QuoteThankful to live in a country founded on the principle of freedom. Thankful for the bravery of our military who established this great country, and defended it for over 2 centuries. Thankful for the wisdom of our founding fathers who established our constitution with checks and balances to prevent tyrant. Sure we may not like certain government officials, but they have term limits.
