Not at all. Just trying to illustrate how the fairness argument doesn't work for me. If all the discussion is about is whether something is fair or not then to me it is not a discussion of issues but of emotions.
I think we are reaching some common gound. Yes it is damn hard to raise a family on $25K but more subsidy, more wealth transfer, via the tax code is not the answer.
Our only way out is education, real education. Not gay day and cultral studies or books like King and King or it takes a village to raise a child. Science and math and business education along with a dose of political science or what used to be called civics.
Our jobs are going out of this country not just because the labor is cheap but cheap and SMART. The cheap part will work itself out ovre time as the standard of living improves around the word. The smart part is up to us. And as long as we let the education system be used as a tool for driving political correctness and reaching the lowest common denominator we are doomed. Vouchers are a great idea. Let people choose where they can get relevant education. (maybe they could teach me to spell).
To me this is how the gay marriage issue ties in and a multitude of other immorale themes. They are not productive and are not things the competition is focusing on. Put them on the back burner and lets get on with staying competitive from a strong fundamental educational base.
And we have not even touched on morales and how this keeps the rich in line and causing them to want to do good things as opposed to rip us off because they are smarter than we are.
But this is a Mustang site after all and maybe we ought to stick to that.
