I do not understand how you arrived at that conclusion. Could you explain?
I think my point is simple and clear. If you choose to help the poor at your own expense, it is charity. If you want to help the poor at my expense, it is extortion. People don't mind the first. They mind very much the second.
That's it. That is the entirety of my point. There are no hidden layers to peel back. No need to downvote me for being against electric cars. I own one myself.
- AlexandrB 8y agoYeah, choosing to help the poor - like Tesla. I see you made that choice, but why should I as a taxpayer have to foot the bill as well? Edit: Oh sorry, I realized you might be referring to helping the poor banks during the 2008 financial crisis. Well, I don't want to pay for that either.
- innocentoldguy 8y agosigh. You seem to want to read into what I said more than is there, and to have an argument that is entirely unrelated to anything I've ever said throughout the entirety of my 50+ years on this planet. That being the case, you'll have to find another opponent of your political angst to argue with. I simply have no interest.
- AlexandrB 8y agoI think you misunderstood. I'm violently agreeing with you! I don't think we should have our property confiscated by the force of the government to support these poor corporations. They're not living, breathing people after all.
- innocentoldguy 8y agoYes. I did misunderstand your meaning.
