Re: An Electoral College Proposal

Re: A silver lining in a dark cloud of socialism
Equality of result is taxation? What does equality of result have to do with natural monopolies? You know what? Don't answer. I'm done herding cats for a while. Is this a new straw man? Why are you equating taxation to ‘equality of result’? Also, should I feel put upon by being forced to pay taxes ...
