Please bear in mind that I took 90% of what Mr. Levin said and just reversed it. I don't nessessarily lean as far left as you think...but a couple rebutals kinda scare me:
-You believe John Ashcroft poses no danger to America or Liberty.
No he doesn't
-You think President Bush did not lie to the nation and the world.
He didn't
Your kidding, right? I guess the hand IS quicker than the eye.
-You believe all liberals are Communist, but do not think Millionaire's can ever succeed without Tax Breaks.
You shouldn't be gang raped by the feds because you work hard and make something out of your self.
Neither should those that can afford it least. Shouldn't taxes be equal percentages without loopholes only for the wealthiest?
-You believe George W. Bush went to War over human rights.
Yes I do.
If that was the case, why did he wait? Plenty of time before 9/11 for him to take that stand.
-You believe Don Rumsfeld .
I like Don, you leave him alone.
The guy give the term "short fuse" a whole new meaning. Archie Bunker is a pinko compared to Rummy.
-You support American troops being used as "Beat Cops" halfway around the world, and want to send more.
Thats our job as the only super power left.
No, it's not. That would be The United Nations job. You know, that little club WE formed to do just that. (sidebar: There is that lil ol China still out there, they are just being quiet right now)
-You don't care One in 11 families, one in nine Americans, and one in six children are officially poor.
Nope I don't care, I was poor when I was in college, I worked my butt off and now I am doing just fine, its their fault for being lazy, they need to carry their own weight.
-You don't care the most affluent fifth of the population received half of all household income last year. The poorest fifth got 3.5 per cent.
See above
-You don't care the official poverty line is an income of $18,104/yr for a family of four, but a single parent of two working full-time for a minimum wage would make $10,712/yr.
See above, and what is a person doing having kids if they can't support them???
[RANT]Not everyone in the US is as fortunate as you. You at least had the opportunity to attend college to begin with. The Wal-Mart corporation ALONE has caused more unemployment and economic recession in small town America than should be allowed. They come in and drive the Mom and Pop stores out of business, then raise prices while the average wage has been reduced. They stop the "Buy American and save jobs" campaign in favor of "Buy Chinese and boost profit". But hey, they have a smiley face for a logo now, and if you have a degree you might make Assistant Department Manager someday...it pays $10 an hour, so it's all good.
Not every poor family in America is made up of a Mom watching Oprah and popping out kids to get a bigger welfare check, while those kids run wild and sell crack down on the corner. Once you leave California, you may get a better view of what's actually happening to our economy. Small town life ain't easy, especially if the only job available is at Wal-Mart.[/RANT]
