I find it amusing that you and the left wing are the first to condemn
Bush
for his role with big oil, but turn around and advocate $5 per gallon
gasoline.

That's pretty much of a piece with their other positions--more taxes so
gumming bureaucrats can redistribute money from those who earned it to
those
who didn't.


Yes, that's exactly what I want. It would, for one thing, reduce crime.
It would be far cheaper to invest in education and give people a handout
than put them in prison after they've victimized people.

You've done the math on that?


I know this upsets you. I'm sorry.

More than upsetting, it is simply wrong. When one's wealth is taken away
and given to others to equalize the relative wealth of a society, the
stimulus for self-improvement and personal growth is removed. Ultimately
no one works hard enough to accumulate enough wealth for the process of
redistribution, leading to universal poverty. See: Soviet Russia and
Cuba for examples.
