Nothing could be farther from the truth.
In a nutshell, I believe in helping those who want to make it as much as we can without bankrupting those who have made it.
And I agree fully with your prison cost vs. assistance cost example.

Actually Lebell I think that most of the US is closer than is commonly assumed.
I can't even remeber if it's this thread or one right around her but I'll make the point:
Extreme left and right wings don't "check" each other--they rub each other off behind closed doors, late at night.
Then they use political discourse to shape (polarize) mainstream discussion and keep the majority of the population in divisive arguments.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch...
