So, is socialism compassion even though it forces everyone but the political elite into dire need?

So, tax cuts were given to those who pay taxes.  How do you propose to give them to those who don't?

Simple.  It was a class envy, soak the rich proposal.  Only the rich were intended to get stuck. Americans are never taught in today's government schools that income inequality is the American Dream.

There's a simple solution.  Replace the income tax with the Fair Tax, a sales tax that has numerous advantages you can google.

In theory, we could even eliminate all taxes and just run the printing presses a little longer.  Our dollars are just words on paper anyway.

Yet, almost all Americans have bought the lie that our republic is a wonderful democracy, an evil form of government where the best organized and largest mob can force everyone to march in lockstep with it.

FYI, our founders despised de-mob-ocracy and mandated a republic.

A lot of Russians, Cubans, Venezuelans, etc. would take issue with this ridiculous statement.

Democrats act like they want our motto to be E Pluribus Pluribus instead of E Pluribus Unum.  

Waffler, you are never in doubt and maybe someday you'll get something right.  Our founders knew the differences between a republic and de-mob-ocracy. http://www.diffen.com/difference/Democracy_vs_Republic

When President Trump objects to lies by the press, leftists (theyre not liberal) say he is fettering freedom of speech.

We give lip service to freedom, but this is now the land of the formerly free and the home of the formerly brave. Our republic has degenerated into a de-mob-ocracy, and the best organized mob votes for a nanny government.

Enjoy the bread and circuses while they last.

There were 20 children and 6 DISARMED adults killed by a crazy gunman at the Sandy Hook Elementary School on December 14, 2012. There were 12 DISARMED victims killed and 38 DISARMED victims wounded by a crazy gunman at the movie theatre in Aurora, Colorado, on July 20, 2012, at the screening of the film, The Dark Knight Rises. There were at least 56 million children and DISARMED adult victims murdered by crazy governments during the Twentieth Century. Those who DISARMED those victims and made them defenseless are accessories to murder and need to be held accountable.

I only wish that ruling were still the law of the land. However, our republic has degenerated into a democracy, and we now have very few rights that cannot be voted away by majority vote.

It is not our job to protect the people from the consequences of their political choices. Chief Justice John Roberts writing for the majority in the Obamacare decision
