Except 90% does not go to poor people. It goes to empowering rich, white politicians.
Oh and also bomb-builders and white collar engineers.
At least 90% of them are white males. Not that the black or Asian or woman 10% should get any of it either.

You might want to explain your position, and hopefully cite some references that 90% of all welfare and entitlement dollars DO go to politicians (of any skin color). My gawd man, I think you may have surpassed Pitttttbullllll in sheer inane commentary. (And that takes some serious intellectual deficiencies, bub)[/quote]
No, it also goes to bureaucrats and various other sorts of nefarious administrators and people carrying guns. Someone must be getting paid to lick the stamps and keep the plebes in line.
It is quite well documented the majority of tax monies gets spent on administrative costs. Google it.
The point is that taxation does redistribute wealth upward – and very little of it goes down.
Also consider the war on drugs and the military industrial complex. Lots of money goes to those people as well. I wouldn’t call that downward distribution.
You haven’t addressed my point Push. Regardless of whether taxation distributes wealth upwards, inflation most certainly does. This means you were incorrect in your assertion that there is no upwards wealth redistribution going on.

Like I said earlier, LIFT, one of the best things you personally can do to help the Paul campaign is to not let anyone know YOU support it.[/quote]
I am not going to vote so technically I don’t support it.
I do support the ideas he speaks about.

Well, don’t tell anybody you support him and you will certainly boost his chances somewhat.[/quote]
It’s funny because I do talk politics with strangers quite regularly - usually just in the form of ideas and not about the politicians themselves and people ask me if I have ever heard of Ron Paul.
I don’t have to mention his name. People understand his ideas and already know it.

can someone define conservative and liberal in American politics, it is confusing to me. I mean liberals want to control every aspect of your life with government and conservatives want to expand corporatist america and maintain an imperialist military base across the world. This is what I get from seeing the ones that say they are conservative and liberal in politics. [/quote]
