That sounds like an insult to me, DawgFan. Didn’t we discuss this already?

Disparaging others wasn’t required for you to make your point as far as I can tell.

Oh DawgFan, you say “we” won’t understand. I say you don’t understand, but I doubt you’ll understand that. Let me point out two articles you might want to read.

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/12/us/even-critics-of-safety-net-increasingly-depend-on-it.html?pagewanted=all

and

http://campaignstops.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/02/20/how-to-get-the-rich-to-share-the-marbles/

In the first, you will see that many ppl who are “against” the “safety net” actually benefit from it. Perhaps you fall into that category.

In the second, you’ll see that the rich got that way in part b/c of a system that props them up, that they helped create. Think about society as a whole and not just about individuals or yourself, if you can.

I’m soooo late getting back into this…. sorry, busy couple of days at work.

Does Dawgfan live in Decatur? Does he realize we have really high taxes here?

Joe – no GOPers are not the only ones buying expensive cars, but the article states it was pushed by the Republicans.

Anyway, no cap… I’m good with it. Well, actually, I can complain about taxes as well as the next guy, but if there’s going to be a tax, I’d like to see it applied fairly to all.

I’d chortle appreciatively, but that would just encourage you further.
