Nor is it a red herring. A NRST will guarantee financing of the socialist system, obviously. One who argues for an NRST takes on the primary effect and/or agenda of an NRST, therefore he is either not thought it through, is dumb or agrees with the agenda.
You have obviously thought it through and are not dumb. And, in prior posts, you have agreed with and advocated the concept of a government disbursing public funds to individuals not on contract for goods and services furnished to the government.
It is never misdirection or diversion of attention for the agenda of an advocate to be known. It is entirely relevant to know that one who politicks for sheep safety is really a wolf in disguise.
Nor is it a personal attack. It is a personal opinion on my part and a personal criticism toward your part. I criticize each person who works toward a bigger government and deeper socialism.
I have no personal animosity toward you; I would probably hire you at a good rate for a number of tasks were I an employer and you an applicant, and all I knew was your work for the NRST on FR.
I also realize you may not think of yourself as a socialist. The kernel of the systems has been expanding since 1935. That's long enough for the condition to have become SOP for many. But a person is a socialist if his purposes work toward socialism, whether he is aware of the label or not, because that will be the result of his efforts.
