    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    Agreed. But, in the interest of objectivity, what exactly has your party done about the wealth inequality issue? Because, from where I sit, it looks like most elected Democratic officials are just as happy to jump in the pockets of the wealthy as the Republicans. I mean, nominating a corporatist who sat on the board of Walmart for president pretty much made the intentions of the DNC explicitly obvious to everyone but diehard partisans. Not to mention, that corporatist's main opponent in the primaries was a principled social democrat who spent his entire campaign screaming his lungs off about said staggering wealth inequality.

    Only last year Oxfam said that the 1% owned 99%, so how you believe anything they say?

    A government that wants 35% or more of the income of a person or corporation is the greedy one.

    They can already afford to do all those things for their employees, still be unGodly wealthy and still make a large profit.

    This is all about GREED.

    Nothing can suggest a mindless brain dead sheep than a leftist dumbfuck who basically make the argument that Government is entitled to our hard earned wealth while moronically believing Coirporations pay taxes and parroting moronic DNC talking points.

    The top 1% includes individual income earners, not corporations.

    SOmad doesn't read; he emotionally erupts with the moronic pabulum he is spoon fed by the FAKE media and DNC.

    Tell us how allowing the Government confiscate it benefits anyone BUT the elitists in Government? Alas, I am asking a moron to think; irony.

    Yep; in liberal dumbfuck land where SOmad wallows, politicians aren't the greedy ones.

    You really are too stupid and gullible for words. But you are a prime example of the complete and utter failure of our liberal left educational system.

    This is seriously stupid; perhaps even mentally retarded. Yep, the 18% gas tax doesn't hurt a soul; SOmad says so. Idiot.
