But the share you own amounts to little more than one of the pins holding the receiver to the lower assembly.

You said that again.

Surely you have seen some of those government contracts that were made public....shit like paying $400 for a toilet seat....$300 for a light switch....

I wonder where those funds go? I'm sure I will never know.

If you ever go through the tests required to get crap certified, you will understand the price (you may have, I don't know).

One day, we were going through some test specs for a piece of military hardware we were designing (some electronics for patriot) and stumbled across a test spec for......














wait for it.......


































A TOILET PAPER HOLDER! I shit you not (no pun intended) there was a test spec that a holder of a roll of toilet paper must pass before it is deemed worthy to hold the paper that will wipe government ass. The only part I remember is "The Free Spin Test" which stated that, when filled with a roll of toilet paper, and spun by hand, it would freely spin for X number of revolutions before stopping.

Stupid stuff.

My company makes equipment for the US Military and other militaries which are allied with the US.

I have seen the specs....there is the right way, the wrong way, and the Military Way.

But $300 for a light switch....that is a whole other level.

I thought I remembered that you do, that is why I added to my first sentence that you may already have seen those specs.

But we still charge the same amount for our gov't contract stuff.

I suppose we could jack our prices, but that is just not the kind of thing we would do. We are still a company of 30 people, and we still really care about keeping all of our customers happy.

The strangest thing is the Army's vehicle systems seem to all be 24 volt....rather than 12v. I wonder if they are just using two 12V batteries in series to power their systems?

See the thing here is mofair, scissors and the LEO are educated in how to fuck the public and how to circumvent the constitution and individual rights.


Ohh but lets add to thing things people really dont own, try a house. We make a payment to the government every year.
Free my ass, and its only getting worse with the More "excuses" they make.

And scissors.
Again, your more concerned with grammer than anything else which suggests thats all your intelectual capacity allows out of you.
Thats sad.

I don't work for that company anymore, but it is also a company of about 30 people. All of our prices were justified by man hours and expenses (hardware, traveling, etc...), never jacked up just because it was for the government. And the low overhead of a small company meant it was really hard to beat our rates.

Sure, everyone that disagrees with your is trying to fuck the public, circumvent the constitution, and destroy our rights.

And your home property tax goes to your STATE government, which is a power outlined to your state by the Constitution.

Keep believing that everyone who disagrees with you is drinking the "liberal kool-aid", see how well that works out for you in the long run.

You, like so many others, seem to have your own personal definition of "freedom" which is applied conveniently whenever it will save you money.

Para do you lose your house if you do not make your payments to the government or not?
Really its a simple question, if your answer is "yes" then you never own your house, you merely lease it from the government.

The constitution does outline no "double taxation" apparently that doesnt apply to taxing you over and over again on the same object.
