Well; if you do disagree with what you have printed; where is the contrary proof... They show themselves in every respect to be narrow minded, short sighted, mean spirited, stingy, and very often racist and bigoted morons... They have something or want something and they think of the growing numbers of people without anything as impediments to their having what they want... They blame the victims when it is the defense of life's victims, and the advocacy of universal justice which should be our defining quality... They say they are pro American, and go about the destruction of what is truly American with every move... So ya; they are goofs, puppets, dupes, dingbats, and dummasses...
I know it hurts, but the truth does not have to... Instead of hating the rest of us, join us in changing this place to allow the middle class to keep what they have and for all to get a little something for tomorrow... Those with something were always supposed to support the place and the system of government...
The notion has grown up that they who own it all can have it free and clear... WHAT government would they have that would not tax them since the universal claim of all rulers of any sort was on taxes for their support??? Virtually all of our real property law was created out of the need to keep kings from gnawing away at all estates to feed their own desires; so if the right does not like democracy, would they like some greedy king instead??? We suffer the existence of the poor, and may rightly see them as a danger to democracy... Remeber this: Not one person alive would by choice be poor and demoralized... It is our economy which has made them thus...
Yet; if we are a commonwealth we must see them supported by the commonwealth unless you would give them justice and their piece of the commonwealth back into their own hands... There was some reason to put the commonwealth in private hands... NO one has ever shrunk from the argument for doing so; but there in private hands the common wealth must support the common people because that is the argument, that in private hands the people and their government could more efficiently be supported...
Property and wealth must pay taxes, or the people will find themselves like the widow in the time of Jesus, making contributions out of their poverty... We have too few in this land with too much, much more than they deserve and can hold alone... If the government will protect property it must do so with a price, and that price is taxation... Get used to it, and get over it...
