Every president and Congress since TR, both R and D, have supported progressive taxation; the only difference being the rates.

Ford introduced the Earned Income Tax Credit and that conservative icon Reagan expanded it, recognizing that squeezing more money out of those at or near the poverty level is bad public policy except in the minds of the most extremists elements on the right.

He'll have to get a LOT worse for me to hide all of his posts from view. I like knowing what arguments are being put forward by those on the other side of the political spectrum me. What I don't like is being cussed at and called names. For that reason, I won't engage him in debate because I know he's incapable of being reasonable. I might occasionally see fit to post a reply in order to debunk some crap he's posted, but beyond that, he won't get my ongoing attention, as I now know what it will devolve into.
