15. Believe it or not, GOP Doctrine is pretty close to what the guy
says.

I am not being sarcastic, rather sincere when I explain that
"Liberty or Freedom" is interpreted to mean freedom to earn and
spend your own money. Taxation is viewed as coercion.

Why do you think tax cuts tax cuts tax cuts is their mantra?

Norquist has often stated --starve the beast. In other words
keep cutting taxes until their is no money for the "New Deal Programs".
and we have freed ourselves of the programs.

Until Democrats understand this, we will be talking past each other.
