Given that that's pretty much all you do, I wasn't wondering. That is the reason I stopped reading your posts directly, 'cause you spend your entire time portraying everyone who doesn't agree with you as people who want to take your money to spend it for you, rather than actually discussing the issues. "LMAO" as a response to entire paragraphs of text? Projection much? Here's some news: just about everyone wants to pay less tax and have less government regulation. Portraying those who have a slightly different threshold to you for the level of tax and regulation they find acceptable as socialists is just dishonest. There may be a couple of far-left wingers in this group (actually, most of the non-Americans are pretty way left by American standards...), but by dividing the whole membership of this mailing list into "those that agree with John Williams" and "Socialists" you're missing the chance to actually have interesting discussions on why we choose the way we do what is acceptable to us, and all the nuance of all the positions in between the economic left and right. Even if you've decided that people are wrong already. I'm still wondering who this guy is. Meanwhile, I'm going to get on my communist bicycle and ride to my communist job in a communist law firm. Oh wait, I bought the bike, I get paid to work and it's a private partnership. Dammit, how did I get fooled by these capitalist pigs??? I'd better pay more tax 'cause if I don't I have no right to criticise the free market!
