You beat me to it. It's a good thing thought crimes do not exist on FR. "Statist" is the vilest, most despicable label I can apply to a person.

Sad but true. Words mean nothing. I judge them by their actions. Any politician who speaks of how much of the fruits of my labor they'll 'allow' me to keep - well, let's just say that the American Creed isn't what they're going by. You know - liberty, democracy, individualism, equality before the law, constitutionalism, private property.

The cost of restoring these principles will be horrendous.

Bravo. In fact, "statist", by my estimation of the ideals of the Founding Fathers, would be the exact of "American."
