I think it's ok to discuss these things before cementing an opinion and being entirely inflexible. Full stop.  |
My full stop referred to how it is defined today, vs the suggestion that it is defined as taxation. Debate is fine. Several have said the draw the line at citizenship, not just because it’s the current reason, but as a demonstration of commitment to the country. It’s a valid argument, but Pepsi keeps pushing for more, like that there are specific groups we’re trying to exclude for malicious reasons. There are not.
The main counter argument is no taxation without representation. That’s a fine position too. I don’t agree. Where does the debate go from here?
