I would recommend you read a biography of Einstein. Other than wanting enough money to stay alive he was always thinking about the universe and trying to understand the "mind of god". There is no God in lefty liberal politics. Only confiscatory taxes and pushing people around just because. It is the party of bullies. Thank God for Ayn Rand... "The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities." "Today, when a concerted effort is made to obliterate this point, it cannot be repeated too often that the Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals -- that it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government -- that it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government." "The American system is not a democracy. It is a constitutional republic. A democracy, if you attach meaning to terms, is a system of unlimited majority rule . . . a form of collectivism, which denies individual rights . . . . The American system is a constitutionally limited republic, restricted to the protection of individual rights. In such a system, majority rule is applicable only to lesser details, such as the selection of certain personnel. But the majority has no say over the basic principles governing the government. It has no power to ask for or gain the infringement of individual rights." "They do not want to own your fortune, they want you to lose it; they do not want to succeed, they want you to fail; they do not want to live, they want you to die; they desire nothing, they hate existence, and they keep running, each trying not to learn that the object of his hatred is himself . . . . They are the essence of evil, they, those anti-living objects who seek, by devouring the world, to fill the selfless zero of their soul. It is not your wealth that they’re after. Theirs is a conspiracy against the mind, which means: against life and man." "When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion - when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing - when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors - when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don't protect you against them, but protect them against you - when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice - you may know that your society is doomed."

You cannot think past your own nonsense ... You cannot conceive of someone who would prefer an idea over money. Denigrate those that work hard and are compensated as a result ? Those that love what they do for a living are usually the most successful and , as a result, are the 50% that pay taxes. Without them all your free bs for the other 50% would not be possible. Your economic preferences historically end up with all that disagree being sent to gulags or concentration camps. Unemployment +Underemployment + disability = 19% not collecting a paycheck. That's the result of your political free stuff big government BS philosophy. Hasn't worked anywhere on this planet. Why did Einstein come to this country Charlie ? Why is it you have nothing factual to back up your bs ?

One question that you often ask is why blacks and other minorities vote overwhelmingly for democrats. I think that Democrat President Lyndon Johnson has the answer for you. "These Negroes, they're getting pretty uppity these days and that's a problem for us since they've got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we've got to do something about this, we've got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference. For if we don't move at all, then their allies will line up against us and there'll be no way of stopping them, we'll lose the filibuster and there'll be no way of putting a brake on all sorts of wild legislation. It'll be Reconstruction all over again." "I'll have those n*ggers voting Democratic for the next 200 years." huffingtonpost.com All part of the plan.....
