AP I'm surprised to see some of your oppinions in here because I thoroughly disagree with 2 of them:

How can you honestly complain when even a man with no job wants less benefits and taxes? I think you've gone completely backwards here. DH, while not being a taxpayer yet, completely understands the effect of taxation on the economy and personal freedom. You have to respect him for that. Repug who has never been a taxpayer in his own right, on the other hand, makes the opposite arguments, and it's from his perspective that we usually see oppinions. It makes perfect sense to be upset that people like Repug complain about a lack of social welfare, but I don't see the point of getting upset when DH does. DH is arguing for something which isn't even his benefit yet. That has to add merrit.

If I ever lose my job and become a homeless man I hope that I would be able to stick to the same set of morals: men should work to create a life for themselves and shouldn't steal from each other.

As for your second point:

FDR was given credit for the New Deal. It is for this that was say FDR was a bad president. If you want to make the argument that the New Deal wasn't because of FDR then please argue FDR's merrits without the New Deal. Without any economic intervention I don't know anything special about his presidency. The fact is he allowed (or encouraged) he New Deal to happen, which means he was one of the worst presidents we've ever had. Keynes was wrong.

	The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them.
