This should not be allowed. When you contribute to the campaigns of democratic socialists and help cause the very problem you're fleeing from, you don't get to come to Florida until you repent of your politics and become a true conservative. The mere fact that he could move to Florida and vote Democrat is just wrong. But Democrats always vote for higher taxes so long as it's always someone else being taxed.

The fact that you can blatantly post such anti-American, anti-Constitutionalist, anti-human rights BS is just wrong.

Would you be willing to take him back and perhaps make an exception to your wealth tax for him?

Is ajax suggesting that a US citizen should not be allowed to live in any part of the US that he wishes? That seems profoundly unconstitutional.

He still voted for the people who put the tax in place. He made his bed in Seattle, Washington. He should have to sleep in it. Until he repents of donating large sums of money to Democrats, he's not welcome in Florida. At the very least he shouldn't be allowed to vote Florida.

I'd gladly fight if they would have me. But until then, I'm content to contribute to the Trump campaign. I want to pay taxes to something important like this that benefits the red American economy and national security. And for the so called American allies who were unwilling to help, I'll be happy to impose a tariff on all goods that they wish to ship through the states of Hormuz, which we will rename and annex as the straits of Republican America. Democrat America will be subject to the tariff as well.

Oh - so it's the old secession stuff again. But how will the red states do without all the money they currently get from the blue states through the federal government?

It's not YOUR state. There are millions of others in it that don't think, believe, eat, or fart like you do. You think you alone have the Constitutional right to ban them from America?!? How goddamn retardedly arrogant are you after all Commie???

How can I "take him back" when I didn't throw him out in the first place? No, rich guys don't get a pass on complying with my state's laws.
