Just pointing out the disparity of opinion, even in just one founding father. Small wonder we Americans can't seem to get along with each other. No, I will not be voting for the Socialist candidate, Brian Moore. :)BB-Idahohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01168862935045755393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3590191745099543845.post-21716412326080306852008-11-04T01:40:00.000-05:002008-11-04T01:40:00.000-05:00MK, we'll know soon.

A few more states switch columns and we'll be good.<BR/><BR/>BB, nobody begrudges helping people who need it because of circumstance. We, or at least I, have a real big problem shelling out hard earned money to support lazy bastards who won't even try to support themselves. There is a BIG difference, and if you can't see that, then by all means, vote for the Socialist!Average Americanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17211406136371011324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3590191745099543845.post-6536831729567959952008-11-03T12:07:00.000-05:002008-11-03T12:07:00.000-05:00James Madison?"In a letter to James Madison in 178...James Madison?<BR/>"In a letter to James Madison in 1785, for instance, Thomas Jefferson suggested that taxes could be used to reduce "the enormous inequality" between rich and poor. He wrote that one way of "silently lessening the inequality of property is to exempt all from taxation below a certain point, and to tax the higher portions of property in geometrical progression as they rise."<BR/>Madison later spoke in favor of using laws to "reduce extreme wealth towards a state of mediocrity (meaning the middle) and raise extreme indigence towards a state of comfort." <BR/>...Yes, ol James Madison. :)BB-Idahohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01168862935045755393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3590191745099543845.post-8839152516182238112008-11-03T02:02:00.000-05:002008-11-03T02:02:00.000-05:00It's like a blogger told us today about a decision...It's like a blogger told us today about a decision that was made to expand the welfare base back in the 80s (thanks to democrats obviously) and how you folks are still getting bitten in the ass for it all these years later.<BR/><BR/>Choose wisely America, because there are no refunds, can't declare bankruptcy and walk away, can't return the goods, no repossession applies here. You make the wrong decision, you'll have to suck it up and cough up for 4 years and beyond.MathewKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14385674205383405783noreply@blogger.com
