Entry: Greenspan's Gambits Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/greenspans_gambits#5758 Post contents: MSS sed: "I don’t find fault with black welfare mothers so much as I do with the liberal politicians who devised the programs that brought their situation into being." Injecting Black Welfare Mothers into a discussion of the progressive income tax is obvious an appeal to racism in the white middle class is an old trick that “libertarians” have used for years to convince them to support their economic agenda. Aid to Mothers with Dependent children (welfare) is a drop in the bucket of the Federal Budget. On the other hand, the inequity in the tax burden of the rich to that of the middle class and the working classes is HUGE! So deal with it, instead of using dirty tricks to defend your point of view. MSS sed: I’m asking that you conduct your part of this dialogue with civility, as I have mine. You implied that the defense of the progressive income tax is motivated by sloth and drunkenness by people too lazy to work. My reference to YOU as a defender of CEO classes and the trust fund Park Avenue set is hardly any different then what you are engaging in. Your call for civil discourse is as disingenuous as your arguments against the progressive income tax. Sent at: 2008 11 22
