i work with a guy who's really great in many ways but ... libertarian more or less, but HATES Democrats. i want to counter two statements he has made and represented as fact to me.
the first has to do with his hatred of Democrats. when he told me this, he literally pulled out his wallet and tapped it, indicating that he believes totally that Democrats are nothing but "tax and spend" wastrels. he literally pulled out his wallet and pointed at it as he told me how much he hates Democrats.
i think i have seen charts that prove (in a variety of ways) how much better stewards of the economy democrats have always been. i would love to get hold of one of these especially one that illustrates the tax difference between republican and democratic presidents over the years.
the other is his claim, made today that the government is exploding under Obama. i totally do not believe this. i asked him for proof but he only stated that it's true even if i did call him a liar. i would like to show him he's mistaken.
i'm sure i'll get plenty of advice to give up. dude's actually one of my favorite people here at work. thank you all in advance for any assistance.
