All progressives. If they hadn't required such programs the chance of America becoming so imperialist wouldn't have happened and the normal equalization process might have occurred.

That didn't happen and to keep itself floating the federal government did exactly what its people required of it. By, for, and of the people.

Is your family important? Well, I'm the one who's most important.

Is your safety important? How much safety? I want to be allowed to set off firecrackers.

Is your current standard of living okay? Yeah. Last year I had a seven figure income... $12,840.37.

Do you see a future for your family and yourself? Tomorrow the sun will rise.. So since tomorrow is in the future, I'll answer yes.

How much will you give up for the rest of the planet, 6.3 billion people? Geez, I hate these kind of questions. Do you mean my giving up $50 to be divided by the world's population, or do you mean am I willing to sacrifice my life so the world's people may survive?

My brain contains the land traces and patterns to connect it all. It's missing the articulate part that can easily explain it to others, though (I have to work really hard at doing that. I'm trying). Some peoples brains don't have that.

That's a different way to look at it. Looks like you'll be a okay with the salary adjustment most of us couldn't bare.
