who said that liberals have a heart?
Let them do, that should be the motto of every public authority, according to which the world is civilized..... A detestable principle that which would not wish us to grow except by lowering our neighbors! There is nothing but mischief and malignity of heart in those satisfied with that principle, and interest is opposed to it.
to get ahead by taking from others is a contemptible principle. shame on liberals for supporting wealth redistribution!

I think even liberals have a heart, it's a brain that I question them having.

We've seen over the last 8 years that Republicans in positions of power have neither a heart nor a brain. |

That's why I opposed the bailout. Privatize the gains. Socialize the losses. |

After falling for the "Obama" flag thing in a thread about how stupid people were falling for the "Obama" flag thing, I don't thing you should be questioning anybody on brains. |

Your second paragraph is fine. Bogus logic, but at least it is short, sweet, and understandable.
I can't for the life of me figure out your first paragraph, though. What? |

A small hint: Unless every cent you pay, income tax, sales tax, property tax, whatever, comes back to you your wealth has been redistributed.

The OP is mangling the definition of laissez-faire.
OP, clearly you make over $250K - call your accountant NOW and ask him or her to start figuring how to avoid paying these awful taxes that are about to impoverish you! SCHNELL! |
