I am being a compassionate conservative when I tell you that you are dead wrong. It is your kind of attitude that breeds tyranny. According to you people aren't responsible for their own actions. They need someone to take care of them, like the government. To hades with that thinking. And no, properly explained it won't lead to mob-rule (populism) or socialism.
Bzzt! Sorry, wrong. They need someone to guarantee honesty and justice.
Why do you think the credit card companies need this "bailout"? Because of their own doings! That's right - go ahead, RKV, and promote corporate irresponsibility on the one hand, and preach personal financial responsibility on the other. Makes a lot of sense.
And no, properly explained it won't lead to mob-rule (populism) or socialism.
I wouldn't expect the Republicans to be able to pull off that "proper" explanation in a thousand years, especially with the biased media. They're not called the Stupid Party for nothing.
