Then when I pointed out that you'd trimmed the original scope of what was "adequate", you said "Well, of course that's not enough, The government should feed everyone and pay for it with wealth redistribution."

Stick with one position, please. You got a foot in the door with "raise the minimum wage" and now we've slippery-sloped to "eat the rich".
