The One and Only... is probably a spambot
Old Dec 18th, 2003, 06:27 PM        Max has really disgusted me.
Apparently Max feels that it is more important to attack the integrity of the man in office rather than the issues. In fact, outside of Iraq, he rarely leads the initiative to discuss policy over politics.

Why? I don't know. Perhaps he is aware that he cannot defend himeself from pro-market arguments about tariffs, free vs. "fair" trade, social security investment options, market regulation, school choice, and complete privatization of healthcare. His arguments over such issues usually revolve around the state (no pun intended) of those in poverty, but even that gets blown away once we realize that killing the minimum wage and Davis-Bacon Act, along with nonsensical safety regulations and decreases in military and police spending, would allow for optimal employment within the market. Even if minimal welfare were necessary to continue, it would be a hell of a lot more efficient if we simply established a negative income tax than provided food stamps, Medicare/caid, public schools, etc. Which reminds me... simplifying our tax codes - which are so hilariously enormous that large, wealthy individuals often go to court over how much they need to pay - would get rid of unnecessary middle-corps. like Jackson Hewitt.

But NOOOO... he can't discuss these issues directly. Instead, referring to some abscure gay relationship between the Cato Institute and I provides a nice escape route to avoid the real issue. Not to mention claiming that I am on an intellectual ego trip more than once.

And this guy makes fun of Vince.
