The "Progressives", amirite?

Yeah, fair. Whatever. Some people are born into such entitlement that they never develop into adults. That's NOT fair. Someone has to run society. Others have to pay for it. You've separated yourself in some kind of imaginary "us vs. them" worldview that somehow gives your life meaning. You're right. I don't understand you. You are lost in yourself. Put the bottle down. You might have the money, but you still can't afford it.

I get a kick out of this. 8 "you" variations in such a tiny amount of words. Us vs. them? Interesting.

You are dust in the wind, just like everyone else. We are all a cancer to the planet and don't benefit anything here in any way. Bees as an example pollenate, so they are much higher up on the list of caretakers of the planet than a human could ever be. Humans only look out for themselves if you are looking at if from a true world perspective. Meaning? Yes, I am sure you have great purpose.

I think I am done here. I discussed the topic enough. Lets keep raising taxes and keep letting the special interest run the middle class into nothing. Look at the cap on Social Security. The top 1% don't even have anything taken out of their paychecks at this late in the year. Some people stopped paying into it in January. Lets tax wine to death. That will help I am sure. Only the rich can afford such luxuries in life, sort of like how Cheney gets a heart transplant right away. Yep, more taxation will help.

A few weeks ago I was visiting my friend`s camp in Tidioute Pa. where a 30 pack of Bud sells for $27 and here in Tarentum I can get the same for $22. I wonder what those people will be paying for a bottle of wine or liquor if the stores become privatized. I hope they`re not expecting any bargains.

There's a Walmart nearby, with their buying power I'm sure there would be no problem for the fine folks of Tidioute getting booze cheaply if the Walmart were allowed to sell it.

I'm sure that 30 pack would be available cheaper there too if beer sales werent another state allowed monopoly going on.

There's a $5 difference on most cases of beer between many distributors, even some only being a few miles apart from each other. Some even charge extra for cold where a distributor nearby doesn't.

Your " nearby" Walmart is a 30 minute drive. You know that Walmart employees collect $6.2 BILLION a year from taxpayer subsidies while the state store employees can actually buy things and drive the economy. How easily played some people are by the wealthiest family on the planet.
