"These people deserve compensation, so let's propose an amendment that compensates only those amongst them that need it the least."

"That seems silly."

"You hate these people die hate fire death kill omg!"

That was not up for referendum. Nothing else was up for referendum. Only this. If it was this versus something else maybe something else... but only this was up for referendum. Again, if not all can benefit, none shall. Nice.

So you'd vote for a bad choice just because it's the only one?

[Al B. Sure!]

I'd vote for doing something rather than nothing!

Just proving my point that 'fairness' is purely in the eye of the beholder.

Nice to know that there are 'geniuses' out there like Kuci and KH who think it's some absurdity that a 24-year old soldier who lost his legs and was paralyzed in an IED blast in Afghanistan be exempted from paying property tax.

WOW. You two are unfathomably stupid.

The VA compensation for 100% total disability is $2673/month or $32K pre-tax annually. Keep in mind the designation 100% disability is given for someone considered unemployable. Yay! Let's do even less for disabled veterans so they can all be homeless beggars!

Holy **** you two are so ****ing wrong it's not even funny.

With 2673 dollars per month you can live like a king as an expat in many third world countries

[C0ckney]

in almost every third world country. a monthly income of R$6000+, even here is rio, would give you amazing standard of living.

[Barnabas]

I make less than 2673 dollars per month and I am comfortably middle class in Argentina, 2673 dollars per month is 5.5 times the minimun wage here

[Arrian]

That's nice. It's also irrelevant. We're not shipping our disabled veterans to Argentina.

We could ship them to Tennessee though, you can get a house for $40k there...

This doesn't account for rural/etc parts of states... but:

Also, remember that a 100% disabled person would get SS and so make more than $32k per year. Also, they make more for dependents...

You should ship them to Argentina, then you can cut their benefits and save money. And I bet the property taxes are lower too. A fair solution for everyone.

The House version of the bill passed unanimously on a 99-0 vote on February 15, 2010, and passed the Virginia State Senate on a 39-0 vote on February 26, 2010[2]

Well we know the Virginia State Assembly doesn't have any total retards.

They just didn't want to get smeared by idiots like you. Stupid people have a tendency to get into a self-righteous rage about stuff they don't understand. One of the drawbacks of universal suffrage is we have people like Albert voting.

[Jon Miller]

Maybe better to ship them to Mexico?

1. They are loyal to the US
2. Cheaper drugs/medicine/etc
3. They know how to use guns
4. Cheaper taxes
5. Lower costs

We could 'encourage' them to set up some sort of militia...

I was thinking more of Mexico, unless it becomes even more ****ed up because of the drugs war

If I recall correctly, thee are more than half a million expats living in Mexico

[Arrian]

It can get more ****ed up from the drug war?

-Arrian

[dannubis]

It can get more ****ed up ?
