Republicans, Conservatives, and Libertarians continually complain about the government giveaways. They say the Federal Programs designed to assist American citizens smacks of Socialism. And by virtue they assert Socialism is bad.
I wonder, when the above groups receive their economic relief check in the mail will they sent it back asserting they don't want to support Socialistic giveaways. How many will back up their words with action? My suspician is none of them will send it back. This is called hypocrisy.
When I was a libertarian I think the bullshit excuses were "I'm just taking back my tax money!" or "I'm trying to overload the system so we all revolt and bring on the new libertopia!" I'm sure there were several more.
I was a devote Ayn Rand fan for about 10 years. I was even the secretary for the college Objectivist society. But as it turned out my reasons were different than everybody elses.
I read "Atlas Shrugged" my first year on college. The book seemed to give me permission to be intellectual. I needed that at the time. I even did an independent study on Ayn Rand for a credit in Philosophy. It wasn't until I was acting secretary did I realize that my motives and understanding was completely different than everybody else. Ayn Rand was based on a flawed premise then, just as it is now.
not only Bloomburg can buy votes... and they get to spend tax payer money instead of their own
