  2. That's what happens...

    You go to sleep as a good, God-fearing capitalist. You wake up next morning, BAAAM!, you're an evil, atheist anti-American Socialist!

    LOL! How do you call people who support tax increase & hate the tax cuts? And what about people who are all for the FTT?

  4. I am not really sure what FTT has to do with anything...

    I would maybe suggest that you don't call people who dislike this particular tax cut anything, since many of them have different rather nuanced arguments. For instance, just to pull a random name out of a hat (since I just read a transcript of an interview with him), Ken Griffin, that well-known Chicago Socialist, appears to be one of those people.

    Why can't I call a well known 'Chicago Soclialist' a 'socialist' exactly as you do?

  6. I was actually being sarcastic, you know? Ken is no more a socialist than, I dunno, Ayn Rand or smth (and I know all that stuff about her)...

    Like I said, a lot of screaming & yelling, not much of a substance. Typical socialist.

    It may be more fundamental than that, though I like your post. Perhaps the fundamental difference is that Republicans (conservatives) believe happiness comes from money. Whereas Progressives believe that happiness comes from collective action. The thing that everyone wants is to be happy.
