after all these years I finally located this thread from 2003 ! I though was deleted;
it was impossible to find , almost, because 'tedtheled' was changed to 'donotdelete' for some reason, perhaps no reason, perhaps a reason no one understands..?.. anyway, here it is, read it, my cat made some of the posts, and it's even more timely now, providing lessons in economics, capitalism, unemployment, and more, meow meow meow!

excerpt: "...
* Without taxes and social programs, ruthless
capitalism will make a few filthy rich and most others, wretched. *It is so
easy to be nice and a gentleman when you're rich... to be poor and human is much more difficult... *you know? *what does it mean to be human? *to love, to have compassion and to realize we are all in this thing together--so just don't forget about the 200,000,000 americans making less than $35,000. a year for a family of four, while 80,000,000 are doing just great, going to private schools and going shopping. *It is not human to be selfish--it is egotistical and deluded--you will not be full of joy. *So there are 2 reasons not to give the rich tax breaks (1) it's not fair and (2) no one
will be happy... *mroww... "
so waddaya think?
