This has nothing to do with what it really means. A silly argument on both sides. Take a lesson from Humpty Dumpty. The underlying dispute is not over the meaning of words. It's over whether specific laws such as those providing for welfare, social security, Medicaid and other entitlement programs are wise policy. Discussing what the meaning of "is" is may generate a great deal of heat, but it generates no light. I wasn't the one who brought up the definition issue--Jon and Doug did that all by their lonesomes. You seemed to have had no trouble grasping the gist of the issue, as I presented it. Jon and Doug obfuscated the issue with the definition game because they have no valid argument against my original premise, that redistribution of personal wealth is a concept loved by the left and despised by those who have achieved a degree of success by their own lights.
