[QUOTE="Proximity, post: 7136593, member: 589997"] Your point is obvious. What should be even more obvious is how ridiculous comparing SLAVERY to higher taxes on the rich is. Not that it doesn't paint an accurate picture of your viewpoint in general. My point is that it's black and white that Slavery is a horrible evil, while taxing the rich more than the average person to combat homelessness or to help the average person live a little more comfortably isn't so bad. Again, it just comes down to whether or not you have the compassion to care about others who are less fortunate than you. You'll of course call me an extremist to say that conservatives don't care about people, but that really is the only way to characterize it. How does saying that maintaining a rich person's ability to buy Ferraris or go yatching in their third or fourth houses in Florida more important than making sure everyone in this country has a roof over their head and food to eat translate into caring? Seriously, tell me, I want to know. [/QUOTE]
