Opposing inhumanity is "substantially left of center?"

And you are the final judge of what's bogus, Mr "I believe every million
dollar smear campaign Karl Rove can invent"? Gee, that sounds fair.




I would somewhat agree, bu you must have missed out on the welfare
reform acts of the 1990s. And you can't seem to point to a quote where I
am in favor of increasing welfare. Once again you attempt to proclaim
some great ideological principle and stub your toe on your own ignorance.


The discussion was about Reagan. I don't recall the exact statement, but I
was surprise to see you, a self-proclaimed conservative, bashing RR for his
stance on welfare.

Wrong again. I was bashing Reagan's administration for the easily
foreseeable results of it's actions on welfare. Of course, in your
world, action doesn't count for much. You believe in faith without wors,
don't you?



How did W's tax cuts increase the burden on "those further down the ladder?"
I'm aware of no one's marginal tax rates having increased by virtue of this
act. Liberal lies.

I'm relieved to know that the tremendously increased defict of W's
administration is all "liberal lies."




... What bothers me are marginal tax rates that
penalize one for accumulating wealth.

If that were true, then already rich CEOs wouldn't be asking for multi
million dollar bonusses (bonii?). Another of your right-wing fairy tale
evaporates when examined in reality... but you're not interested, are you?


... I'm in favor of a flat-rate tax, if
you hadn't gleaned that by now.

I have also "gleaned" that no amount of fact will deter you from your
proclaiming your prejudices & fantasies.

Social Security, itself, is a stupid scheme. It operates on the premise
that people should not be encouraged to fend for themselves.

Baloney.

... THAT is a
basic tenet of socialism.

More baloney.

... The reality is that most people probably won't
have a pot to **** in at retirement if left to their own devices.

Possibly so, but unlike you, I do not think that the gov't should be
meddling other than to prevent fraud by "investment professionals."

... If your money grows at a faster rate than the pathetic returns
from SS

Here's a clue, Maxxie- there is no "return" from Social Security. It is
*not* an investment plan and never was.



... You seem terminally spiteful to anyone
who benefits from working for the government. Jealousy? Antipathy toward
the wealthy? What is your problem?

????

Where did you dream this up Maxxie? Your hormone pills must not be
working, you seem to be a bit over revved.


... Here's a real wake-up call for ya,
Cleo: lots of people get rich working for the gummint. And they're doing
it with revenues from our tax monies.

Yep. I've said many times that the welfare program chiefly benefits
those who work for the welfare dept. You must have missed that in your
eager hunting for signs that I am a darn libby-rull.



.... Your reliance on SS in its current
iteration is unwise.

Who ever said that *I* was relying on Social Security? Not that it's any
of your business.



What a ****ing Boy Scout. Get a job in the real world, Cleo.

What a great example of how calm & rational you are, also how you never
call anybody names.

Well, I'm done here. You don't seem to enjoy your fascist whacko fantasy
land, so I don't know why you stay rooted in it. You seem determined to
remain hopeless. Bye bye, Maxxie.
