Subject: Re: "You just dont get it do you?"

Czuch: You're right, I don't get it. Since the time of Reagan, I've noticed how all that money has trickled down into the economy. lol

So if a guy says, "give me your money and I'll make sure it trickles back down to you, with some extra to boot," you gonna believe him? Yeah, I guess you do believe him. He's rich, he must be telling you the truth. lol

And the poor, of course, they'll get even more of it! That's why they're still so poor, and growing poorer. See the logic? Yes, you do.

Again, I point out the fact, which you have finally admitted, that you are not a capitalist. You don't believe in the free market. Why accuse me then of being a socialist? It is socialism either way, if by socialism you mean handouts. But if by "socialism" you mean handouts to the poor only, then you can call your kind of handouts "fascism."

The Usurper: Greg, why do you insist on attacking him personally? I thought you didn't lower yourself to that level?

Gentlemanly? I think not.

Bernice: Attack him personally? I think not. Why do YOU insist on defending HIM when I point out he accepts fascist policies, and rejects capitalist ones, yet you don't defend ME when he points out that I accept some socialist policies?

Subject: Re: "You just dont get it do you?"

The Usurper: Sure, no hand outs to anyone then? Fine with me.. my point is that you say you want to help the poor and you say you want to stop handouts to the big evil oil companies, yet doing one hurts the other

Or... you want to stop the hand outs to oil, make gas prices rise, and then give money to the poor to buy the gas????

What then for me in the middle class? (well really, I am not even in the middle class according to most liberals) I dont get a hand out and I am now paying huge gas prices, that makes me poorer, until i am poor enough to get money for gas too, and soon enough you have more people getting money than there are people to take it from... then what???? How has that helped the economy then? Once you have cut the big boy down to size, and given enough money away to make everyone middle class (thats the goal right?) then what? how do you sustain a system with everyone in a middle class?
