You know, I wouldn't mind the Ice Princess so much if it weren't the fact that if she's elected, you know Kerry, Gore, and the rest of the losers that couldn't beat Dubya are going to come around sniffing for jobs. > You know, I wouldn't mind the Ice Princess so much if it weren't the > fact that if she's elected, you know Kerry, Gore, and the rest of the > losers that couldn't beat Dubya are going to come around sniffing for > jobs. If she gets voted in, all these professional politicians (leeches) will feed at the public trough once again! Is it any wonder that big government is so unattached from the real problems of everyday life? >> You know, I wouldn't mind the Ice Princess so much if it weren't the >> fact that if she's elected, you know Kerry, Gore, and the rest of the [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Is it any wonder that big government is so unattached from the real problems > of everyday life? Again? Doesn't that assume that the politicians stopped feeding? They didn't, they just trade in the military suits for bureaucrat professional. Republican or Democrat, it's the same size government, just a different face. >>>You know, I wouldn't mind the Ice Princess so much if it weren't the >>>fact that if she's elected, you know Kerry, Gore, and the rest of the [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > Republican or Democrat, it's the same size government, just a different > face. And most people won't vote Libertarian because most people care more about controlling others than they do about their own freedom. You get the government you deserve, I guess. - Ron ^*^ "Werebat" <ronpoirier@cox.net> wrote in > And most people won't vote Libertarian because most people care more about > controlling others than they do about their own freedom. Is there any "Real" choice given the present system in place, the rich get richer and they hold all the cards. Matters little who wins, they all feed at th same trough! > "Werebat" <ronpoirier@cox.net> wrote in > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > richer and they hold all the cards. > Matters little who wins, they all feed at th same trough! Libertarians don't seem as interested in feeding the rich, although I'm sure like any political party they'd come around on that if given enough real power. - Ron ^*^ > Libertarians don't seem as interested in feeding the rich, although I'm > sure like any political party they'd come around on that if given enough > real power. Too true, too true. It's easy to hold onto ideals when you don't have a shot at power in the first place. And being Libertarian does not make you any less human. I think the ultimate path to getting some of the more restrictive and repressive parts of child support law in this country is to work within the established parties. Don't get me wrong; I'm a libertarian still in my heart and I still believe that typically the government solution is the wrong one. But there comes a point where you have to stop blindly ramming your head into the wall and approach the problem with a little more finesse. For instance, when you go to talk to conservatives, you might want to frame the argument in terms of fiscal conservatism, using the Laffer curve for example (as I suggested in another article). Conversely, you frame the child support argument towards liberals as being one of the worst forms of regressive taxation towards minorities, many of whom are chained into low paying jobs and yet have high child support bills. I believe we have what it takes to win this one. Twenty or thirty years ago, you would have been laughed out of the senate had you even SUGGESTED anything like private schools. Today vouchers are one of the hottest ideas going. I think we can turn this debate.

ONE CSE worker is $40,000, that would pay for alot of shoes, jackets and food discounts. Lets add in court time, law enforcmemnt involvement. There is nothing to be gained from persecuting low income people like myself ! Trying to legislate poverty out of existance is never going to happen! |
