New study/experiment. Uber conservatives now get a diagnosis?

I can see you are not taking notes.


Had you been paying attention, you would have noticed that DanaC said:

"a manageable portion of their wealth/income."

and then you said:

"Great, define that."

and then I said

"From each according to his ability.
To each according to his need."

I answered your request for clarification of DanaC's statement. Lecture? Not really. Perhaps you have a guilty conscience.

No you didn't answer the question. All you did was give a trite little quote.

According to his ability... how much is that? Who determines my ability, you?
How do you know how much I can spare without jeopardizing my lifestyle, my security, or even my needs.
How do you know if I'm supporting aging parents, a child with expensive special needs, 3 ex-wives and 14 children?

Obviously you can't. More obviously you shouldn't.

Far from it. You never gave an acceptable answer. Just some esoteric BS. I give plenty and am far from carrying around the extra baggage of guilt for the poor down trodden who care not to care for themselves.
