You know, I say fuck socialists and all their bullshit about “narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor” which is based on the flawed assumption that there is some static amount of wealth out there. The economy grows; just because someone is wealthy doesn’t mean that the poor have less. In fact, the opposite is usually true. Economic redistribution is based on nothing but jealousy, pure and simple. But Tim, if you think the Republican party is capitalist, you’re sorely mistaken. In reality, the Republican party is interested in regulating people’s sex lives and guaranteeing profits to their corporate cronies above all else. The Republican party has gone ventured far from it’s supposed liberaterian values and has instead become a theocratic-facist entity. Personally, I think that government’s only role in the economy should be enforcing contracts and addressing externalities (which are numerous and significant).

I wouldn’t jump on the “Free Trish Lamphier” bandwagon so quickly. She did not get fired for passing around a card.

But, would *you* sign a card for some moron that just admitted to stealing money from your company?!?

Watch the news about Haney on Wednesday. Trish Lanphier, the Democratic candidate for Clerk of District Court, and the employee at the receiving end of this absurd action by Haney, will hold a press conference Wednesday. She’ll tell the real story and we’ll likely see another duck and run routine by the treasurer. It looks like John Ewing, the Democratic candidate for Douglas County Treasurer, has a new campaign manager. Her name is Julie Haney.

the consitutional basis is a thing known as “evolving standards of decency” it’s the same reason it is unconstitutional to kill a man by firing squad now, but was not unconstitutional to do that in 1850, despite the constitutions letters being the same.

The majority of the members of the supreme court would back me up on that, and have done so for a hundred years. Only scalia, maybe thomas, and who knows aobut the new two, would say otherwise.

my statement that the only economic difference between the two parties, whether constitutional or not is that the republicans tax the middle and lower classes, and the democrats tax the upper classes more, is completely true. Economic redistribution, whether distateful or not to you, has been an essentail part of what has allowed our middle class to flourish over the last 150 years ever since the income tax was passed and engrained economic redistribution into our system.

The numbers about millionaires being born of millionaires has been true every generation going back hundreds of years. Most millionaires today come from long long lines of millionaires.

It’s not “unfair” to ask that we tax a small amount of their unearned wealth in order to provide basic large-scale programs to help those trying to accrue earned wealth the means to do so. Public educaiton, city block grants, health insurance for orphans, these aren’t radical liberal things, they’re basic decency. Democrats fight for them, republicans say “let someone else do it”
