You've been drinking too much of that secular-progressive-liberal Leftist Kool-aid.
Walter Greenspan is a stickler for geographic specificity, but appears to have no problem slouching to name calling, petty insults, and cheap generalizations.

Other than wanting everyone to live in a Socialist paradise, absolutely no agenda on the part of George Soros.

Ad hominem attacks are the sole province of the secular-progressive-liberal Left.

You missed the point. Everyone has an agenda. Some agendas are selfless and other agendas are selfish. The Kochs' libertarianism/Randian politics is intrinsically selfish. The consequences are pollution, poorer water and air.

Define socialism, and please explain how you know that a "socialist paradise" is Soros' vision?

Don't play stupid with us. You know what Socialism is and what Soros is trying to do. Oh wait, maybe you are brainwashed and are one of his sheep drinking the kool-aid.

Pequa is ground zero?!? There's at least 100+ tea party groups on the island, tens of thousands in the US. This thing started around 07-08 with Ron Paul, Karl Denninger and a few others. This is about promoting the return of free market principles and stopping crooked politicians from abusing taxpayers in an attempt to create a socialist utopia throughout the US.

Deadpool, you're way off. The spending is out of control in Nassau County. The corruption runs deep and the entitlements are so out of control they've run out of other people's money to keep the scheme going. How else would you explain Nassau having the 2nd highest taxes in the country yet we're looking at a $300+Million deficit and now under control from an oversight board?
What claim did I make that I'm way off on?

There is an enormous deficit because the county won't tax the people who have the money. I don't advocate taxing the working class. Public servant pay looks huge because all private sector pay has stagnated. All the work moved away. That's all by design - free international labor market. That's what you want - right?

Frankly, I believe in the capitalism that Adam Smith invented. Capitalism he explains isn't working if it doesn't help everyone.

40% of our GDP was produced in the financial industries. That is non-production. These people make nothing. Like government, they just take a cut each time money changes hands. It's okay for the rich to do it, but not the public commons - I see. We live in the heart of that industry, by the way, but they are so rich and influential, we aren't allowed to tax them. They say if they get taxed, they may leave the country. That doesn't sound patriotic to me. That's take your ball and go home.

Free market in the present context just means cut more pay for more people. What American Dream is that? You are angry at the wrong people.
