Everyone here knows the law allows you to have that money. No one has argued that with you. The entire point of this discussion is that weather that law is consistent with "conservative" principles.

You seem to have trouble distinguishing between the two ideas.

You've said you're "entitled" to this money, and that indicates to us that your "conservatism" is suspect.

"You've said you're "entitled" to this money, and that indicates to us that your "conservatism" is suspect."

You've consistently misunderstood me, sir. I'm entitled to this because it's the law. If you don't like the law, then change it.

But if you're ever in this condition, you will do whatever it takes to survive. On this, I can assure you ...

Naturally, my conservatism will no longer be suspect when I'm paying taxes again (as I continue to do on my home and two acres, which I WILL NOT give up).
