The OP should move his ass over to Illinois, where Dems have had complete autonomy over the purse and the legislation for about 150 years. They are certainly "pro-revenue" and real Americans who care about government in his mind. And as we all know, Illinois is the biggest shit show for governance in the United States of America.
I might disagree profoundly with the man but admire someone with guts and conviction. He is well read and has had some success with capitalism. I've developed a measure of respect.. for what its worth. Much of the angst I directed towards him I regret. Not that it troubled him much lol.
Not entirely true, sir! I do stick to my guns, as long as they're working, so I will blast you at will. But I don't want to blast you, per se, but I have and I do have some regret as well. Still, I do think of you largely as a technician, undoubtedly a good one, but let's admit it, when you were in university you probably resented having to take any of those "fuzzy", "fluff", "easy A", liberal arts & humanities courses, didn't you? : )
