Fine, the conservatives do not believe in feeding the needy hungry. It's a good thing that the Democrats won, then, because this country has suffered enough from that kind of selfishness. Just as I do not want my tax money spent on bombs for Iraq, you do not want your tax money to go to feeding our poor. Why don't we agree that you can pay for the bombs and I can pay for the food? Seems fair to me.
One more thing. If this isn't meant to be inflamatory, I don't know what is. Can you think of a different way to be generous, without agreeing to pay huge taxes? I hope you can. And again, you're assuming all conservatives are pro-war, and anti-poor people. Exactly the type of statement I made. What we're disagreeing on is the way to go about helping the poor, not whether they should be helped. kj.
