I think Beto has fallen off pretty hard, he kinda announced he was running like everyone thought but I can't think of any real clear stance or anything he has at all. Well today he announced a dogshit new "war tax" policy where families who don't have anyone in the military have to pay a tax to fund healthcare for veterans of future wars. So that's a fun way of splitting people into groups that are more American than others, and also of punishing people who are unable to serve. It's ostensibly to prevent future wars because no one actually wants to pay more taxes for war. Which isn't a terrible idea except if anything the tax doesn't go far enough and the government will just start wars anyways. If you slashed the military budget and then made the war tax huge it would probably work as a deterrent. The government won't start wars because the people don't want to pay a tax? Yeah because the government has traditionally only started wars that were popular and has certainly ended then when views changed. Afghanistan is just such a perennial fave apparently! --- SuperNiceDog didn't have to reconcile his name...
