Oh yeah, I totally forgot about the budget surplus.

It's not a matter of budgets, it's a matter of social priorities.

Cough. Sputter. Cough

Did SCOTT WEISER just say that?

He's becoming...gasp...a SOCIALIST right before our eyes!!!!

Social priorities is not socialism.

No! But you want to force taxpayers to support social needs!

Of course. I'm not an anarchist. "That to secure these liberties,
governments are instituted among men" is not a call to socialism, but it is
a recognition that people must be governed. And for government to function,
the people have to pay for it. Thus, levying taxes is perfectly correct. The
question is WHO authorizes the extraction of taxes to support government
programs, and HOW they go about doing so.

Oho. So it's not quite so crystal clear where supporting social needs is
appropriate and where it becomes a horrific commie plot.

Put Scott in charge of the school system, and each person with an
intellectual disability will be mainstreamed with their own personal
teacher! If the school needs 483 teachers for 600 students, so be it!
It's a
social priority!

Well, only if they can afford it and are willing to pay for it.

Good luck with that!

Then they get ignorant, uncontrollable children. Petard hoist.

Is that how we got you?
