scout...you call it "government bullshit" and "living off the government" and I call it a "social safety net"....somethng common to most civilized societies.
I hope you or your family (or mine) never need it!

The bullshit is all this rhetoric by McCain/Palin and "wealth distribution" as socialism.
Its called a progressive income tax...or at least McCain thought so in 2000 when he was running against Bush.
Quote:
McCain defended progressive taxation:
"So, look, here’s what I really believe, that when you are — reach a certain level of comfort, there’s nothing wrong with paying somewhat more. … And frankly, I think the first people who deserve a tax cut are working Americans with children that need to educate their children, and they’re the ones that I would support tax cuts for first."

So..in 2000, it sounds like he supports Obama's 2008 tax plan....and now its socialism...go figure!
