Religious dogma
TB — (archived)

Did you ever notice that you have yet to actually respond to one of my statements with anything even remotely resembling a factual rebuttal?

Ever think there might be a reason I approach these bong-fed economic concepts as one might approach any irrational religion?

I shot your premise to hell. Businesses and the wealthy are not lounging in the hammock that someone else has paid for. They are the ones paying for almost all of it, certainly carrying far more than their own weight by any imaginable measurement. I've lost count of the times I've made that point, with the numbers to back it up. It must gnaw at the deepest roots of the socialist faith, since it gets so quickly suppressed.

Assuming what you said about the 2000 campaign is even factual, "promoting" stock ownership isn't the same thing as the government handing out a thousand free shares of a mutual fund (paid for by...who?) to every person in the country. A child would see the difference.

I'm just curious--do you know people you actually win arguments with using these techniques?
