See my bio...

I'm commenting on your idea NOT on your bio. In the 50's every other communist front organization had the words "freedom" or "American" in it - no one here checks people's credentials. For good or ill.

And I can assure you - having been a liberal myself years ago - the average liberal troll would go out of his way to have a name that reeks of patriotism - and a bio that would make most of us want to kiss his ring. Not saying that's you.

On that score I'm NOT saying you're a troll, but I am saying you're putting forth a classic liberal take on an economic issue. If you were to say we should all work according to our ability and take according to our need, I wouldn't look at your bio before calling that a liberal position. In fact, that's almost a direct quote from Marx.

Calling me an intolerant jerk falls into the catagory of name calling. So when you ask if we can differ and discuss without insults I think it's possible. But let's stay on the level of ideas and not pull rank (or bio) so to speak... And sorry about the troll comment - I was speaking in general about freepers who put forth liberal ideas and act like their conservative.

Apology accepted, I am not a troll. See my prior posts. They should clarify matters. BTW, this post was just an IDEA, put forth for discussion. Some took it personal. I am not 100% sure if this is a good idea or not, but it is an issue worth discussing rationally w/o insults.
