".... I think your views are outdated and extreme...." That is a rather empty statement unless you can list and explain the views I have which you believe to be outdated and extreme?

"I support large central government and the social advantages it allows...." Please explain how you fund such a system. In the past you've focused on taking wealth away from the rich to fund this but that amounts to cutting open the golden goose, or at least a system of diminishing returns which is unsustainable. Large central government can't fund it self. If you can show me how you would produce the funds to support a large central government with the social advantages I might be persuaded. The only way that has been done in the past is to take wealth from capitalists, which can only work on a temporary basis since the production of wealth ceases in such a system. To me it just looks like a santa clause deal. Or that you think government can be a god of unlimited resources that will take care of you.
