Only bested by communist propaganda. I'm not a libertarian. I'm also not one to be berated into professing that the opposite of disapproving of ever more taxes

  Whoever said anything about communism? The idea of trickle-down economics is something that only seems to appeal to the rich and people who eat up the libertarian propaganda they produce or patronize.

    >Whoever said anything about communism? Whoever said anything about Libertarianism? Only "rich people" and "dupes for libertarianism" "seem to" prefer low taxes? This is seriously how you think you are going to participate in a discussion, and this is your premise that you think needs to be debated? In citing communism, I was only matching your hyper-defensive snark and substance avoidance by throwing around a roughly opposite term that is meant to have a negative connotation. Just as you have repeatedly done by introducing a negative connotation for "libertarian", which again I absolutely am not. Libertarian ideology is not the opposite of pro-tax policy advocacy. What else?

      > Only "rich people" and "dupes for libertarianism" "seem to" prefer low taxes? I think your problem is you're treating "trickle-down economics" as a synonym for "low taxes," when it isn't. > In citing communism, I was only matching your hyper-defensive snark and substance avoidance by throwing around a roughly opposite term that is meant to have a negative connotation. Communism is a dead boogeyman, while libertarianism is a thing that still has some life in it.
