The plaintiffs’ arguments in Moore v. United States have little basis in law — unless you think that a list of long-ago-discarded laissez-faire decisions from the early 20th century remain good law. And a decision favoring these plaintiffs could blow a huge hole in the federal budget. While no Warren-style wealth tax is on the books, the Moore plaintiffs do challenge an existing tax that is expected to raise $340 billion over the course of a decade.

But Republicans also hold six seats on the nation’s highest Court, so there is some risk that a majority of the justices will accept the plaintiffs’ dubious legal arguments. And if they do so, they could do considerable damage to the government’s ability to fund itself.

              Or you could be less of a dumbfuck troll and defend yet another one of your dipshit arguments.

              It is fun that every time you can’t figure out a defense you jump straight to bigoted bullshit and terrible fucking jokes. You’d think you’d at least be good at one of those two things.

                I don’t need to defend anything to you, because you’re not a serious poster, and your main priority is slap fighting.

                I’m amazing at terrible jokes.

                  Yes it was me that decided to start insults.

                  Not at all, you seem to be bad at just about everything here.
