I used to read them, but it became so tedious unraveling all the things you said which were biased or irrelevant, and so I just quit reading them."jeffersondem: "I just skim them; saves time and you get just as much out of them as if you studied them word for word."
Very few Lost Cause propagandists can deal with actual facts & logic, and even those few do so poorly.
For the rest of you, it's all about the narrative -- nothing else matters beyond getting your narratives seen, regardless of facts & logic to support them.
Very few Lost Cause propagandists can deal with actual facts & logic, and even those few do so poorly. Joe, i've whipped your @$$ so many times before, it has become tedious. You never learn anything, you just come back with more obfuscation, false equivalence, and excessive irrelevant details.
This is why I stopped taking you seriously on this issue.
Now I've gotten you to admit that 50% of the government revenue came from the South, and at one time I got you to admit it was as high as 60%.
But even at 50%, how is it reasonable for 1/4th of the citizens to pay 50% of the taxes, while the other 3/4ths pay only 50%?
The North should have been paying 3/4ths of the Taxes, and the South should have been paying 1/4th.
No matter how you look at it, the North was exploiting the South as a money cow.
