they don't seem to realize who their paycheck comes from.

I met the same in K-12.

For instructors in either to be conservative makes about as much sense as being a Log Cabin Republican or a Jew being a Brick Oven Nazi.

"The tax credits don't count as taking money from the government because that's my money to begin with!" I'm not sure of the best response to that but I can just see a Ron Paul nut saying that... and ignoring the social programs like SocSec, Medicare, not to mention public schools, other gov't protections like EPA etc.

Whereas with libertarians they have to get into this deconstructivist masturbation to try to argue that greed is good.

and the taxpayer funded electric grid she uses daily, and the clean water she drinks from the municipal water system, and the safe food she eats courtesy of government inspection and regulation, the equality and security she enjoys because of the justice system and enforcement, and the diseases she doesn't get because of the public health programs, etc, etc...

Even Ron himself took that evil socialist FEMA money. When Hurricane Ike hit, it devastated Galveston. since it was flood that did much of the damage a lot of home owners insurance did not pay.

Lucky for her, that doesn't dump out in front of the house.

See Sue drink fresh water, coming into her house from a treatment plant.
See Sue drive to work, on roads she did not personally build.
See Sue breathe, thanks to air not polluted with ammonia fumes and benzene leaking from the plant down the street.

Sue's a bitch.

23. funny thing I heard righty talk show host say about air pollution:
Fri Feb 24, 2012, 01:03 PM
Feb 2012

he said didn't know why lefties get so worked up about pollution since the air was CLEANER now and cars pollute LESS than when he was a kid.

He said it as if those things happened on their own instead of through tough laws and regulation that made it happen.

It was the environmental equivalent of ''git yur guvmint hands off my Medrcare!''

and doesn't even realize it. What he doesn't realize is what we know----that it would be all too easy to revert back to the way it was in the past if we are not vigilant.

they think that market forces or gravity did it or something when the labor movement had to fight for those.
