This is not about giving to the poor. It’s about taking less from the poor. Why should the poor be asked to give more of every dollar earned?

Only the strong survive? If they are so strong, why shouldn’t they show that strength and provide at least as much out of every dollar earned as people who make less?

Life is cruel. We are all the end result of our choices. Perhaps you saw “the lifeboat’ since you used a lifeboat analogy. That movie was a perfect example of your false dichotomy. Nazi prisoners are the poor. (no im not saying the poor are nazi’s). Both made choices that landed them in their own lifeboats. We are all in lifeboats, so to speak. In the real world, only the strong survive. In america, the worthless and weak are paid to overbreed and enjoy society at other’s expense. In that regard, they are Hitler’s ’superior race’… how odd is this?

Now you and yours want to give them more? I’m glad you werent running the lifeboat in the movie, the nazi’s would have killed you, and your family, and by extension, the USA. That is all they wanted, all along. So, Blacks paid to overbreed? Mexican illegals rampant? Al Qaeda Ops latent cells? Do you think they are all here for different reasons? No, Walt, but they are here thriving courtesy of Americans like you, casting a dilletante eye and sophist’s views upon their sole objective; to commandeer the life boat.

Only the strong survive. I would swim rather than seek comfort in your lifeboat, Walt. Tis better to die using the last ounce of one’s God given talents, than to them waste in some creed outworn by time, yet revived by stupidity and politics. Truth is immutable, all else waxes and wanes. FYI, are not you a lawyer? You should know better.

I don’t really think that is an apt analogy.

I don’t understand why this portion hasn’t been better publicized. It could make a huge difference in how the bill is perceived. I hope the Legislature does the right thing today and lets the people vote, but I’m not holding my breath.
