Just one question: Are you entitled to my earnings?
If I were a liberal my answer would be: “Absolutely” But since I am not, my answer is No..
“Entitled to my earnings...”
The answer is “yes” for all as long as we have a givernment. Besides, there are many FReepers who get their social security checks because your earnings are confiscated. (I know, I know ... they “paid into it...it’s mine”). The argument is to how much is the givernment entitled. But the more fundamental question is what is the proper role and size of the givernment, and only then do you debate how to fund it. Our givernment runs in the opposite direction. They mandate how much they are going to vacuum out of your wallet, then they figure how they are going to spend every penny and more. Since the “wise” courts have held since FDR that the feral givernment’s powers are not limited to those enumerated in the Constitution (they even find stuff that’s not even in the Constitution!), almost none of the now living have any experience to know what it’s like to live under really limited givernment. It’s a nice idea about the past until it is cleaned out of the history books by the big tech censors and thought police. Very difficult to convince people that the givernment needs to be limited when they cannot comprehend the idea based on their experience.
But back to Prager, some of his questions are not that great. But to a complete stranger, I don’t need 32 questions to figure out whether someone is a leftist, a liberal, or a parrot who spouts slogans that the media puts into their heads. To an acquaintance or family member, I could get by with no questions in many cases. As Sierra said, you can tell without talking - looking at the way they are dressed. But if that doesn’t work, you can tell just by listening to whatever it is they chatter and cackle about, cliches, slogans, empty phrases.
