>But until we get to utopia, you will continue to advocate using the progressive tax code as a vehicle for wealth redistribution, right? What the hell utopia are you talking about? I'd be happy if we could be where we were in the 1950s with regards to that. Of course, your side wants to be there in terms of civil rights and kicking gays around. >My belief is that government shouldn't even try. The basic services rendered by government are all that's necessary to be funded. Heck, even safety net programs have their place. You can beef up said safety nets, but you're never going to close the gap between rich and poor that way. You still haven't given me any data-based argument on you believe that. -Z
