skeeter, The one thing I've demonstrated besides the basic business and economics that no one disagrees about is that you are willing ignore the mass of evidence right in front of your eyes and focus on short term stats I demonstrated are irrelevant in order to feel comfortable with your false assumptions about the politics of the right. It's actually pretty funny. You aren't even willing to acknowledge the short term vs. long benefits of the policies on each side and simply say you prefer the "short term" benefits of taxing the rich now and giving it to the poor despite the long term downside. Most politicians and political hacks on the left (at least the ones that understand the basics and love our system) aren't intellectually honest about the long vs. short term debate, but they are trying to get elected and help the poor now, not over the long haul. So their behavior is at least understandable. I'll drop this now. I did my best, but I don't have time for this when there really isn't even a debate here unless we are talking about what the proper level of short term vs. long term thinking and help is.
