The majority of the history of the United States is without an Income tax.
Not sure why you think you cant run your life unless a government worker manages it for you.
I do hear that from Socialists though, "people are dumb, and need government workers to think for them".
People who don't pay income tax still pay for social security, unemployment, and such out of their paychecks. The notion that poor and middle income people get away Scott free from paying taxes is a right wing fantasy.

I can't help but read this as:
"Liberal creativity = art"
"Conservative creativity = kill all brown people"
Why just brown people when it's just as much fun to knock off white people. Actually, even more so since the blood contrasts better.
Sorry, but you baited that response.

how do you get kill brown people?
The left believes that the only reason privately owned firearms and carry permits exist is to facilitate angry racist white people murdering people of color under the rationale of self defense. It gets back to the Zimmerman - Martin fiasco of 2012-13 if you were on this forum then.

Privately owned? You posted a photo of a machine gun with an army helmet next to it (hence my specification of color)...
Still, it doesn't change the absurdity of your initial post: "Liberal creativity = art", "Conservative creativity = gun". What am I supposed to derive from that?

And the reason the US Army (and the USMC,USAF, USN)has been shooting brown people in more recent conflicts is because there haven't been any white people to shoot at since the involvement in Bosnia. We take what we can get.

The thread itself is absurd. Out of liberals and conservatives, why would one group be more creative than the other?

Obviously I'm not a gun expert. I can understand owning a pistol for self-defense or a rifle for sport, I just don't understand why anyone would want or need to own an anti-materiel rifle for personal use, but hey, it's not my business.

"We take what we can get" is one of the most horrifying things I can hear in relation to war.

I'm not in disagreement here; I've mentioned several times throughout this thread that I don't believe something as arbitrary as political belief has any impact on the creative process and, to analogize, a beautiful painting is just as beautiful regardless of who the painter voted for.
Yet, I still have no idea what point you were trying to make by "Liberal creativity = art"/"Conservative creativity = gun".

I took it as ...
liberal is feminite
conservative is masculine
I dare anyone to call late liberal, gun toting authors like Hunter S. Thompson and William Burroughs effeminate - and Burroughs was gay, and more of a man's man than most right wingers who need a gun to show how big their d*cks are. .
And no, that's not an anti-gun tirade on my part - it's an anti-conservative tirade!

When you keep a pack of good hunting dogs you gotta toss 'em a little raw meat once in a while and dark meat will suffice as good as white. That's an oversimplification but still true in a real world sense.
My other choice was a hybrid car representing liberal creativity and an M1A2 Abrams Tank for conservative creativity. Both more accurately represent priorities and values than creativity but what the hell.....When you keep a pack of good hunting dogs you gotta toss 'em a little raw meat once in a while and dark meat will suffice as good as white.

That has nothing to do with artistic creativity, though.......and making it even blurrier as to whether these analogies are intended to reflect a pro-liberal or pro-conservative stance....

long range target shooting. people find it fun. its alot of math and patience, so not my thing but people enjoy long range shooting. to do it you need .50 or a .418, or .338. they go out the longest. people try get longer shots on target then others.
