I have not and will not vote for Trump.
You’re lost in this conversation. You’re hanging out with too many folks who cite economists to support soft libertarian views polished with a patina of progressivism. Your slip shows increasingly.
It’s okay. I’m lost also. It’s a process. You’ll move through internal inconsistencies. Stop thinking like a lawyer. It makes it easier.
ETA: But even if we disagree on some things, might we agree on this: You can’t punch down. A rigged game is wrong, whether you’re a Randian or a Socialist Democrat. We can disagree on how much we are our brothers’ keepers, but can’t we all agree we have a duty to not rig the game to fuck folks out of a fair chance? And maybe if we have that agreement, in the spirit of small steps leading to leaps, can we discuss ways to avoid this unfairness?
