    I used to lean conservative, was brought up that way with friends and family. But I eventually figured out the “party of fiscal responsibility” was anything but. They cut taxes and spend on weapons and corporate handouts greatly increasing the debt. Then the next Democrat president reduces the debt. Over and over again it has happened.

      Who’d thunk that making those who made their money from others, as well as public infrastructure, should have to reinvest a good portion of that back into society, and doing so actually reduces the financial burden and societal degeneration for everyone?
