come on, it's not hard to provide an alternative in the bankrupt (literally) Republican world. The most important thing is that individuals must be allowed to make their own choices with their own money -- they are not affected by advertising, or lack of education, or the fact that they are stuck a hundred miles from public transit choices -- no, they are always pure, and are making wiser choices than any collective notion of the public good. Similarly, if they fail because they aren't wise like Wall Street Bankers, or they have health problems, or mental problems they should starve to death, because that is how the jungle works. In the meantime, to bring the economy back, rich people should be given permanent tax breaks and huge bonuses, because of their wisdom which is daily manifest, and also of course, they need this money because otherwise they would have no incentive to innovate. Poor people should not be given money, because they will only waste it on food.   If the poor should get anything, it should be a tax break on their non-existent incomes.   The market is all wise, the rich are all wise, and government of the people, by the people, and for the people, is a crock.

Any other questions?

yours,
