UG is clearly a high intellect and a political heavyweight.

My education is clearly not sufficient to enable me to compete with him in a debate.

That sounds so defeatist. lol I'd much prefer to see you go at it hammer and tongs.

Last week on This Week with George Stephano..stephana...steph...that guy, even George Will said that the "socialism" slant is stupid. He said that redistributing the money is what the government does!

Here's the quote:

"95% of what the government does is redistribute the wealth. It operates on the principal of concentrated benefits & dispersed costs. Case in point, we have sugar subsidies. costs the american people billions of dollars but they don't notice it, it is in such small increments. But the sugar growers get very rich on this. Now we have socialism for the strong, that is the well represented & organized in Washington, like sugar growers, but it is socialism none the less, and it is not new."
