Craig, It sounds as if you've wasted far too much time with Alex Jones. Every policy or position you oppose is a hoax or a scam. Evil forces are relentlessly at work in every dark corner. No idea from another perspective should ever be considered. CB, I appreciate your patience and willingness to take a broader view. However, I have to question your devotion to the business ethos. Of course we all benefit from those who found and run enterprises, but as Obama pointed out, they didn't make that all by themselves. Everybody's work contributes to what each of us is capable of making. Thomas Jefferson made amazing achievements, but it was partly because he owned a lot of slaves who made it possible for him to focus on issues other than those of day-to-day. PS: A frequent comment here says Democrats buy votes by programs that reward their voters. Isn't that what politicians do? What is Trump's disastrous tax cut but a reward to his wealthy handlers? There's lots of blather here about honesty, and CB and SKB are among the few who demonstrate it in their willingness to acknowledge that issues can have more than one side.
