    I don't state it's appealing to economic power.

    Libertarians don't like welfare, corporate or otherwise.

    He cut his run short. He may have gotten 20M if he stayed in for all 50 states.

    Moron voters don't want to "throw their vote away" on any 3rd party candidate. Even if they're a democrat voting in California, or a republican voting in Texas.

    I thought Marty Feldman was dead?

    He does look a lot like Rand Paul, though, so maybe he just became a senator.

    Left wing economics gave us a $20 trillion debt. Success!

    The US pre 1930s experienced awesome growth and wealth creation. 13 states grew to 48. 90% of the people fed themselves and did quite well. Plenty of homestead properties generated wealth for the masses. Entrepreneurs built railroads, steel mills, oil pipelines, electricity grids, etc.

    Post of the thread? Not.

    Reagan, Big Bush, and Little Bush did almost all the damage to the national debt. How do you feel about the giant tax cut for the rich enacted by Republicans right after Little Bush was "elected," before 9/11? That destroyed the Clinton surpluses. You have said you're for it (because it saves you money, and because it creates an entrenched increasing deficit that even Obama can't beat, so that you can claim that a lot of the debt has happened on his watch).

    The tax cut was 1/2 of the projected surplus. When government TAKES too much, why shouldn't it return the excess money to those it TOOK it from?

    I don't know why I respond to your misinformation.

    The government borrowed it from lenders. Clinton had the government paying back the lenders, but the Republican Congress stole the surplus and gave it to their rich campaign contributors...who were NOT the ones it had been taken from as you claim...they were the ones who had most benefited, free, from the debt to the lenders...so they were the ones who had TAKEN it, not been taken FROM. So rich Republicans benefited twice.

    This was right wing theft, not left wing economics.

    When the top 1% pays 68% of the taxes, they are going to get 68% of the refunds. Duh.

    It's not that hard to fathom that the government shouldn't TAKE more than it needs.

    Government "needed" to repay its loans, much more than it "needed" to give gifts to the rich. Democrats tried to repay the loans made by the Reagan and Big Bush giant deficits, but were stopped by Republicans. Now you post that the deficit exists because of Democrats.
