I really don't understand. I really don't. I believe and hope that if you polled the nation that a majority would agree that stealing money from your neighbor is wrong. Yet we have a pack of politicians running around promising to steal money from your neighbor, and you are listening to them with some kind of entitlement mentality that somehow this version is ok. Explain that to me. If I don't personally kill you, is it ok if I hire a hitman to do it? It makes no sense. If politicians can make promises to steal (take by force) money that will go directly to another person...shouldn't they go to jail when they make good on those promises?

Peter takes money from Paul to pay for his healthcare or living expenses or childcare...wrong.

But

All the Peters in America vote John into office who promises to take money from Paul to pay for Peter's healthcare or living expenses...and that's PROGRESSIVE?

Folks, please, if you don't vote libertarian, vote democrat. At least then we'll get this over with sooner. We appear on the road to socialism (at best) or communism (at worst), so why delay it by continuing to vote Republican...they're on the same path...they're just slower.
