Tim didn't say that government sometimes gets it wrong, that sometimes it funds things a given set of taxpayers don't approve of.

I understand that. I'm not defending his notion of extortion. I'm questioning your setting up this adversarial, picket-fenced dichotomy rather than trying to understand where he might be coming from. I'm doing so in the interest of facilitating centrism, of course. <g>

I think, for instance, the money now being paid to the very rich under the misnomer of "tax breaks" is very, very bad policy for which we will all suffer down the road.

What money being PAID to the rich as a tax break?

Tim
