If a child born today could understand what modern rightists
have in store for him,
He would turn around and climb back in!

Not your business, Sea. Tend to your own problems. Your opinion is meaningless.

I don't know that they see anything but tribalism, and the Democrat Party is their tribe.
The tribalism begins with Plato and his totalitarian state. It's picked up again by Hegel, then Marx. Now modern liberalism. The tribe is the state, the Dems have one version, the Reps another, but there's little difference.

Jim,

You admonished me for being tedious and boring because I repeated the general content of a post a total of four times over six months. Think you had best look in the mirror and issue that same admonishment?

I am willing to change my behavior, Lowell. All that needs to be done is for the nosy Canadians to mind their own business. Are you willing to change your behavior, Lowell?

You know what rightists want,
they want the wealthy white guy to prosper on the backs of the poor, minorities, the elderly,
and anyone else that is not the right stuff!

The poor are often referred as the leaches by the Right whereas it is actually the rich that are the blood suckers.

"reasonable leftist"

Oxymoron.

"You know what rightists want,

No they don't. That's just what leftists troll with.

How does allowing politicians to take more money in taxes from successful people, to squander in ways that will improve their own reelection prospects, make anything more "fair" for others?


Taxing to pay the bills isn't necessarily squandering. I assume by improving reelection prospects you mean getting earmarks or entitlements for people they represent. Worse things are happening, like giving the wealthy and corporations what they want to keep the campaign money flowing in.
"Worse things are happening, like giving the wealthy and corporations what they want to keep the campaign money flowing in."

Exactly. So how could we diminish that.
Campaign finance reform. Only allow individuals to contribute to campaigns (no union or corporate money) and limit the amount to something the average citizen could afford. So, that the millionaire has no more clout than the small business man or the guy fixing cars. Eliminate the super pacs and require all money go to the candidate.
