GUEST,Fred Miller BS: What IS a conservative? (89* d) RE: BS: What IS a conservative? 22 Dec 02


Leprechaun, um, what? In another more probable scenario, if we had a maximum wage, we wouldn't need a minimum wage. Yes, I do think people are hungry now.


   It's odd that many people think something like taxing the rich is a radical storybook notion, when it would simply be a return to the days that gave us things like the G.I. Bill. Here conservatives defend the new, the increasingly impractical imbalance, as though it were an ancient verity written on some stone tablet. Personally I defend economic inequities, to a very large degree, but not quite a friggin' huge culturally insane degree. I don't envy wealthy people.

   I remember somebody touring colleges with a book about whether the world's resources were going to be sufficient to feed the world's population. Sort of a moot point, since it doesn't happen anyway.

I wonder just how persons who believe that government can't do anything right, also decide it's their calling.
