Drace, I would say that most capitalist care about the poor and don’t love inequality. we have come to believe (most I assume through honest thought and study) that private property creates the most for the most people. that someone has a jet and a yacht, while others fly commercial and has a row boat is better than what has been shown to be the

[quote user="Bogart"] I know that the Republican Party is heading towards its doom over the idiotic topic of illegal immigration. So to win the primary he will have to be like his father and favor the Federal Government using force to keep illegal immigrants out while destroying liberty at the same time.

I am a non- believer – but am really bothered by the people who feel it to be their life’s work to destroy religion. Look at Europe for the parallel in the rise of socialism and the decline of Christianity. America is the most religious western country and also (as of today) the most individualist/free market. Coincidence? I think not I
