If we minimize barriers to trade and then redistribute wealth through a robust social safety net everyone can come out ahead. If youre saying that we could do a better job on that second step then I agree! In theory, we could. But that is not realistic, because people don't want to be kept out of poverty by a social safety net. They want to succeed through their own work, and get more than someone who doesn't work. People are proud. Trump offered them a situation where they are kept afloat apparently by their own work, but really through their votes for the Republican Party. And I will submit that even if people see through this, they would still prefer to receive money through voting Republican than from a safety net. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! <cite>red sox 777 posted [p:903124878] in Politics C...
