In a way, nanofever, I'm gratified that the best response you can come up with is thinly veiled sarcasm and blatantly false claims.
Your view of history is entirely wrong, laughably so. Nowhere on Earth have the poor risen up and taken over a nation, or even launched a rebellion that lasted for more than a few months. I suppose you were thinking of Russia or China, but only the most credulous person could think that those people were enjoying a "people's revolution" and not living under an ungloved iron fist. You may have been thinking of England's Protestant revolution, but that was quickly hijacked by the corrupt who always wield power, then ceded back to the monarchy, so that hardly counts either.
As for roachboy, like I said, I've never voted for a Republican, but you can still pretend I listen to Limbaugh if it makes you feel better. I like how anyone who isn't agreeing with you is a Limbaugh fan, nice polar world you live in.
I'm not against the government providing some social services, but it does an abysmal job with what it has. Millions upon millions of dollars are just plain lost. Have you ever lost a million dollars? I hardly think the solution is to hand the government more money, and I hardly think taking more money from someone who already gives half of their money to the government is right. Think about it- until next week, you'd have been working for Uncle Sam since the New Year. Tax businesses better, close corporate loopholes by all means. Preferably, make the government actually spend its money somewhat wisely. But it just isn't right to take more than half of a man's salary, I don't care how many millions he makes.
