Well, liberal mean deviated or distorted.
That 's not always good.
Someone who deviates from his contractual duty to u,
in doing so may well CHEAT u; that 's bad.
On the other hand, when Rudolf Hess deviated from nazism
and when Boris Yeltsin deviated from communism, those were GOOD things.

I invite you to reread his posts. I'm sure you'll see that your new friend is not the warmest guy on the board.

What he fails to understand stand is that government coffers don't grow on their own.
If his business gets a tax break, and a thousand people get welfare,
they all take from the same pot.
People have the natural right to keep their own property.
NO ONE has a moral right to welfare.
Its charity; the same as if your dad gives u present for your birthday.
He CAN do it, if he wants to, but he has no duty to do so.
On the other hand, your dad has no right to steal your property.

The average middle class tax must make up the shortfall.

Again: the charity cases have NO right to the handouts that thay get.
I have no duty to get ripped off by government for the benefit
of financial losers and the federal government was never granted power
to rip off the rich or middle classes to aid the poor. That can only be done by USURPATION
with the same authority as a schoolyard bully.

I think that its a customary, civilized practice to treat newcomers with a welcoming civility.

I have made that a practice.

On the contrary; the government is granted exactly that right in it's original charter, the Constitution. What more, our nation's supreme court - the ultimate arbiter of such discussions - has affirmed that this is true many times, as those of your ideological ilk have tried over the years to change the fundamental nature of our society.

So, your position is not one which reflects the reality of our nation at all.

Your allegation is without merit.

Your assertion is false.

It it inconceivable that the Founders woud have voted for
Frank Roosevelt, the Kennedys etc., as u imply.

On the contrary, the language in Article I, Section 8, Clause 1, of the Constitution clearly states:

Quote:
The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States.


Courts have consistently found our modern scheme of taxation and our use of tax funds to support the needy to be in line with the Constitution. SO, to put it simply; you're incorrect in your assertions, and have no actual evidence to back them up anyway.

If that had been the correct interpretation
of Original Constitutional intendment,
then America woud have become a welfare almost immediately.

American was and is based on Individualism, not collectivism.

This was NOT the philosophy of the Founders.
Thay 'd have found the views of the Kennedys etc. to be anathema.

An assertion unsupported by fact or logic.

Another of the same. In truth, America is - and always has been - a mix of both collectivism AND individualism. Unless you're putting out your own fires, policing your own neighborhood, and inspecting your own food for safety, I'm sure you'll agree with me.

While all are entitled to their opinion, I can rest comfortably knowing that the courts agree with me, and not with you. I suspect you have no explanation for why this is.

Yes, and you are remissed to grasp the simple concept of there being a difference between keeping more of your own money and receiving someone else's money. I do not trust you to resort to logical reasoning any time soon. So we both have our deficiencies. Your arguments devoid of any logical reasoning, and mine devoid of economics. Fortunately for me, however, the issue is not one of economics but rather whether the different sources of the money makes any difference but unfortunately for you logical reasoning is relevant to the argument and you aren't utilizing it, regardless of your ad hominem diatribe and bloviating above.

Unfortunately, we haven't been a football powerhouse in a long time. Of the games I attended, the one year we came close to being a powerhouse was 2002, and we were just decent this year.

Lord they, the local government, are taking funds from everyone else and paying your damn business bills so yes you can keep more of your cash flow and that is the same damn thing as handing you the funds directly.

It is only a bookkeeping difference and an eight grader should see that let alone a "lawyer"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh by the way it would seems that the courts at least so far are declaring you can not demand that the poor prove they are not drug users when there is zero reason to assume they would be any more then anyone else.

I have no doubt the guy is a lawyer, his posts are peppered with the same sort of legal language I see law students throw around a lot.

But we're not arguing about the law, we're arguing an ethical point, and he is assuming that his argument (money earned personally, and then allowed to be kept via tax deductions, is functionally different than welfare) is a definitive one, built on base principles. However, this is erroneous, and really is more a reflection of right-wing beliefs of superiority over one's fellow man, than it is a proper understanding of the effects of tax deductions in a deficit environment.
