If we take history as the guide , over the last 50 or so years, the Dems
seek to move money from one sector to a sector of thier choosing while
the Reps seek to move money from one sector to a sector of thier choosing

The crux of the matter is wether you belive the gov is the Judge and Jury
of the nations welath distribution.

>From each according to thier worth
To each according to thier needs

Or

Every person for themselves.

The Jefferson quote seems to point away from the Gov as Judge. AS I
remeber Jefferson had threee things the gov should do, no more.

But how does this wash with things like the WPA, Johnsons Great Society,
the govt funding of the arts, nasa, etc?
