Why don't more people get this? I know lack of interest in anything political is a large chunk of America. The other thing I notice (mostly by the Hollywood crowd) but a large portion of left leaning people is the use of the word "feel". I feel this, I feel that, How do you feel about blah... which leads me to believe that the outcome is less important than the action that makes them "feel" good about what they are trying to accomplish. Nobody enjoys seeing people starve, people lose their homes, live in rat infested slums. But when you show them that a government will extort from people who have more than that, where does the incentive go to improve your situation?

On the right, gone are the days of limited govt, low taxes, low spending. Now repubs are "pro lifers" and other elements of the religious voting block. I have no interest in trying to limit adult porn, sex toys, abortion, buttsecks between consenting adults and the rest of the morality police agenda.

So here I sit, knowing I disagree with almost everything left, ecspecially in fiscal matters. Not really liking the current right, as they have been cowardly in almost every way, because the left calls them mean spirited, racist, anti poor, anti elderly, draconian cutting, tax cutters for the rich.

Why are there not 9 Ron pauls running on the repub ticket? He epitomizes what the repubs used to say they stood for.

What am I to do?

Not trying to hijack this thread... just ranting a bit. Any thoughts on my original question of why more people dont get the theory of taxation being extortion?
