Approximately around 550 miners and labor activists were convicted of murder, insurrection, and treason for their participation in the march from Lens Creek to Logan County and the ensuing Battle of Blair Mountain.
Please explain your theory on this one.How about a flat fair tax instead of all this crony crap?
Like, how would Walmart today be allowed by the government to form a mercenary militia? That hasn't happened since 1861.

Strikers deserve to get beaten up and thrown in jail
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.[ M.Niemoller]
If you are gung-ho for "the right to bear arms", why do you think it is so important?And peaceful labor unions, don't forget.
I'm actually enjoying that Battle of Blair Mountain article because I happen to be evicting a roommate in real life.He never paid, so he gets the boot, he has no right to steal property. There's plenty of homeless shelters in the state I live where he can flop in. I really don't care. When someone personally stiffs you for a rent bill, it's really hard to be compassionate, especially when they flash money in your face before heading of to their drug supplier to blow it. So happens when you declare that a place you rent is yours and you don't have to pay nuffin, that's theft and trespassing, and a reason to call the law like they did at Blair Mountain. When you start shooting the law, you're a traitor. When you try to capture the town government by force, that's insurrection. There's a reason why the Mob went into the business of labor unions, and it was definitely as a cover to do similar criminal activities while claiming to be "oppressed" Yo! Joey...pay the man so we can protect yous...from who? You don't wanna know. Nice protection racket the labor unions were in the glory days of crony capitalism.
The working poor spend 90 to 100% of their income between paychecks.I would love a Fed sales tax and no more income tax. That way those that gain their money illegally pay tax too.
So what is the fucking difference? Everyone complains the poor pay and the rich don't. If you only spend 500 dollars you pay 10 percent. If you spend 5000 you pay 10 percent. If you pay nothing now you pay 10 percent. Don't tax food. That is all bull shit to keep the rich from paying tax. If you by a Cadillac Escalate new and a 20 million dollar home not way you pay less then someone who bought a used car, no tax and a 20k home. Idiot.
A Federal Sales tax would be a flat rate. It's not rocket science for fucks sake.

Yes. Because 18% of 200 is not 18% of 2000000.
How about we pick a reasonable amount because right now I pay 6% State tax on everything I purchase except food.
And add a 10% tax on luxury items and stuff like booze and cigarettes, chips, pop.
You know not "real" food items. You are an idiot if you think the rich pay more than the poor now.
Trump admitted to paying nothing. I imagine Bill Gates pays little too. Then there is Amazon paying nothing.
And the mobster or drug dealer buying cars and clothes and spending thousands a weeks are paying nothing. Idiot.
