... I think that many Republicans despise Social Security for the same
reason they despise the French, because a lot of money has been spent to
monopolize the airwaves, drumming those thoughts into everybody's head.
Fortunately some of us can still think on our own.

Are Republicans that stupid? On one level or another, *everything* is a
system to redistribute the wealth. So, logically one would expect
Republicans to hate everything... actually some Republicans talk as if
they do hate everything including themselves & their country, but let's
skip over that quickly...

Any exchange of goods or services redistributes the wealth. Do you work
for free? No? I don't either. So maybe you should rethink your position on
this one.

It's an *involuntary* redistribution of wealth.

That makes *slightly* more sense, except that it begs the question of
what kind of wealth redistribution is truly voluntary.

However, let's just toss out the fact that there are a LOT of things,
like foreign aid and military budgets, that are also involuntary
redistributions of the wealth.

Before you start ranting about how much you hate foreign aid, let me
point out that Pesident Bush just promised a large increase in foreign
aid...

I hate foreign aid. Maybe he meant he was going to increase foreign AIDS?

That's because you're quite hateful.
