An awakened people, eventually, so long as the institutions and processes of self-govenrment remain functioning and viable. The GOP is racing to subvert (and destroy) these institutions and processes. They believe in the fuhrer princep, the unitary executive. If they succeed, we're toast. That's why they must be ousted ASAP, even if that means a temporary swing towards socialism. They have brought us as close to the point of no return as I care to get!

Don't forget.' - were the last words of Socrates. The redistribution thing, as one of the compromises one makes for being a member of a human society, is a topic worth discussing. The whats and the how much one gives up in exchange for culture, civilization, safety, discovery have been discussed ever since (before) Socrates. Socrates, by the way, could have had 'exile' as his punishment but, apparently, he preferred death among his beloved Athenians. So, we live amongst other people and we 'belong' to a country of 300 million which is one specific human aggregation. As humans, we get language, good manners, laws, a state with armies and police that claims ownership over our bodies, children, thoughts and (what we believe it is) our personal possessions. The state takes a lot of our wealth, it keeps most of it to itself and it uses it to enhance its power and it redistributes some of it to others. Sometimes, some of us are the beneficiaries of redistribution. So, yes, everyone who lives in a society is a beneficiary of redistribution because the state decides to perform certain services for the rest of us - such as making sure that we don't get sick by ingesting certain substances - and it takes resources from us to provide those benefits, after it takes its cut. As a former New York City cop, you should be very familiar with redistribution because you were a beneficiary of the system and, if you are getting a retirement check, you still are. Were you for redistribution then? Are you for some form of redistribution now? How do you feel about the military? It's financed by redistribution because the state believes that it takes close to a trillion dollars to defend us from outside dangers so it takes that money from us and it redistributes it to achieve that goal.

You were paid by the state (or the city) with money they took from others, usually without their consent. I call that redistribution. Your 'private' retirement fund was also funded with moneys taken from others. The source for your paycheck or retirement check is the same as that that funds a welfare queen's paycheck. Would you say that you support SOME forms of redistributions but not those that don't benefit you directly?

So you are saying that there is 'valid' redistribution but there's also redistribution that you don't like. The valid redistribution is okay and is conservative but the redistribution that you don't like is liberal. Have you heard of Thoreau? He's a famous dead American. He spent some time in jail for refusing to fund a certain 'valid' redistribution program at the time. He had some most interesting life experiences, including his attempt to completely remove himself from human society.

No, you are distorting the accepted definition of income redistribution in order to to justify your support of a man who wants to not only continue but vastly expand federal income redistribution.

What are city employees doing, other than polluting the air with their breathing? I remember when my Brooklyn (Bay Ridge) apartment was burglarized. One of my neighbors saw the perpetrators and he was willing and eager to provide the cops with a lot of information, including what they looked like, where they came from and where they went. The cops - 3 or 4 of them - came to my place, looked around, asked me what was missing and then left. They REFUSED to talk to my neighbor. That was tax money at work - redistribution at its worst. And, no, the perps were not negroes - if you are a New Yorker you know that there can be no negroes in Bay Ridge. You clearly support all kinds of redistributions but some of them, such as the LITTLE money that goes to help overweight welfare queens eat and breath, you oppose. You seem to be very confused and very biased but this is normal, given that you are yourself a small beneficiary of the government's redistributions.

To: Jethro Tull (#33) You know what the cops told me when I asked them why they refused to investigate and at least talk to my neighbor? They told me that the stuff stolen - I came home early and they escaped through the window while I was entering through the front door and they didn't have time to steal a lot - was not worth their investigation. Now, you tell me, would I prefer a welfare queen or a 3-4 city cops to work on this case? From a redistribution point of view, I'd take the welfare queen any time. Both 'teams' would do nothing or very little as far as catching the thieves but the welfare queen is a lot cheaper so there's less redistribution needed.

You still refuse to face the fact that you were and you continue to be paid with money taken BY FORCE from your fellow citizens who did not necessarily ask for and do not need your services. If you believe that the money that keeps coming into your bank account is given away by your fellow New Yorkers freely and voluntarily, I suggest that you do some research and see what happens to those who refuse to voluntarily finance your work. Maybe you arrested some of those yourself - which, indeed, is a most productive service to society. Therefore, let's hear. Are you for redistribution, are you for some redistribution or do you oppose all forms of redistribution via government? Your refusal to answer this important question - and I gave you 3 options, of which the one in the middle allows for an infinite number of degrees - will indicate your losing the argument and your admitting that, in fact, you are for redistribution, to the degree that it benefits you or to the degree that you 'like' it but that you firmly oppose the redistributions that don't benefit you or that you don't like.

Big difference. It is a tactical issue. How do we best get from where we are now (the edge of a fascist night) to where we want to be (freedom)? Your answer is: Sit on our hands and wait for the perfect pro-freedom candidate to come along, even if, in the meantime, that allows the GOP to stay in power and complete its total Nazi-fication of America. My answer is: Vote for the least fascist mainstream candidate to prevent the hard core fascists from keeping power, frustrate the Nazi-fiers and buy time so that the nation is not plunged past a point of no return into total tyranny. That way, the forces of freedom at least have a chance of staging a come back. Our circumstance is too dire to allow ourselves to be paralyzed into inaction by the old false left-right divide. We must ju jitsu the establishment into making war on itself. If that means empowering the socialist left to make war on the fascist right, then so be it. It's better than the alternative.

I'm sure there are some white elephant security systems that NYC can install in lieu of redistributing money in such a socialist fashion to actual citizens. That's the GOP's mode of governance, after all, and JT (apparently) prefers that to Obama's socialism. So, it's time to live your creed, JT. What do ya say?

To: Arator, stop the fraud, all (#41) The lesser conundrum is a ruse designed by the Elite and offered to the electorate in hopes they continue to choose. They do. I see your participation as bread and circus, nothing more. For two months now Ive studied Obamas foreign policy (his domestic policy is a disaster, complete with a major gun grabbing push). On FP, his differs ever so slightly from Hillarys, and differs with that of McCain only in that Obama will change battlefields, shifting our resources to Afghanistan and perhaps the Pakistan border to hunt for our CIA asset, bin Laden. Your lesser strategy touches a real frustration many Americans have with the two-party system. We're left to pick the lesser of two evils, which has partly led to a nasty case of voter apathy. I and others refuse to participate. How can just two parties reflect the political ideology of over 200 million voting-age Americans? Think about your own values and opinions. Your views about abortion and gay marriage might be "democrat," but "republican" on gun control and taxes. Or are these differences still germane? I tend to think they no longer are as as both wings of the national bird are needed for flight. There are other ways of doing selections, of course, where multiple parties represent multiple interests. For example, the Canadian government is composed of members from the majority Liberal Party, the opposition Conservative Party, the socialist New Democratic Party and the separatist Bloc Quebecois. At this point in our history, since nobody reflects my views, Id be more than willing to try some form of mix and match. But it wont happen because people like you continue to compromise your principles for promises of change. Thanks for nothing.

To: Jethro Tull (#46) All the money that made it into your paycheck, including the portion that went into your pension fund was money taken by the city or by the state from other people. The government took other people's money BY FORCE and some of that money was used to pay you and to fund your retirement. If that's not redistribution, then you tell me what redistribution is. By the way, while in Bay Ridge, I lived in a rent-controlled apartment. I was paying $270 for a 2-bedroom, utilities included, which was quite a bargain in the 80's. That was redistribution too and I loved it because it benefited me but, I suspect, the landlord did not like it one bit. Do you think I should have paid the landlord a little extra?

We can defund Socialism later after it has destroyed the instrumentalities of Fascism, because then at least some semblance of representative government might then have been preserved. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dictatorship_of_the_proletariat

And, just who do you expect to be "in charge" of such defunding? An awakened people, eventually, so long as the institutions and processes of self-govenrment remain functioning and viable. The GOP is racing to subvert (and destroy) these institutions and processes. They believe in the fuhrer princep, the unitary executive. If they succeed, we're toast. That's why they must be ousted ASAP, even if that means a temporary swing towards socialism. They have brought us as close to the point of no return as I care to get!

Then the nuances of my position have eluded you and your perfunctory condemnation, based as it is on willful ignorance, is meaningless. You're about as nuanced as a hammer and sickle. I'm ashamed to have called you a friend, given your hard left turn.

'Crito, we owe a cock to Asclepius. Do pay it. Don't forget.' - were the last words of Socrates. The redistribution thing, as one of the compromises one makes for being a member of a human society, is a topic worth discussing. The whats and the how much one gives up in exchange for culture, civilization, safety, discovery have been discussed ever since (before) Socrates. Socrates, by the way, could have had 'exile' as his punishment but, apparently, he preferred death among his beloved Athenians. So, we live amongst other people and we 'belong' to a country of 300 million which is one specific human aggregation. As humans, we get language, good manners, laws, a state with armies and police that claims ownership over our bodies, children, thoughts and (what we believe it is) our personal possessions. The state takes a lot of our wealth, it keeps most of it to itself and it uses it to enhance its power and it redistributes some of it to others. Sometimes, some of us are the beneficiaries of redistribution. So, yes, everyone who lives in a society is a beneficiary of redistribution because the state decides to perform certain services for the rest of us - such as making sure that we don't get sick by ingesting certain substances - and it takes resources from us to provide those benefits, after it takes its cut. As a former New York City cop, you should be very familiar with redistribution because you were a beneficiary of the system and, if you are getting a retirement check, you still are. Were you for redistribution then? Are you for some form of redistribution now? How do you feel about the military? It's financed by redistribution because the state believes that it takes close to a trillion dollars to defend us from outside dangers so it takes that money from us and it redistributes it to achieve that goal.

My retirement plan is privately funded. Try again. You refuse to face reality, my friend. You were paid by the state (or the city) with money they took from others, usually without their consent. I call that redistribution. Your 'private' retirement fund was also funded with moneys taken from others. The source for your paycheck or retirement check is the same as that that funds a welfare queen's paycheck. Would you say that you support SOME forms of redistributions but not those that don't benefit you directly?

So you are saying that there is 'valid' redistribution but there's also redistribution that you don't like. The valid redistribution is okay and is conservative but the redistribution that you don't like is liberal. Have you heard of Thoreau? He's a famous dead American. He spent some time in jail for refusing to fund a certain 'valid' redistribution program at the time. He had some most interesting life experiences, including his attempt to completely remove himself from human society.

So you are saying that there is 'valid' redistribution but there's also redistribution that you don't like. No, you are distorting the accepted definition of income redistribution in order to to justify your support of a man who wants to not only continue but vastly expand federal income redistribution. The only question is are you distorting out of ignorance or are you twisting words in order to further your pro big government agenda.

One requires a unit of production (city employees) while the other form of redistribution (Obama's model) rewards welfare queens for breathing. Really? What are city employees doing, other than polluting the air with their breathing? I remember when my Brooklyn (Bay Ridge) apartment was burglarized. One of my neighbors saw the perpetrators and he was willing and eager to provide the cops with a lot of information, including what they looked like, where they came from and where they went. The cops - 3 or 4 of them - came to my place, looked around, asked me what was missing and then left. They REFUSED to talk to my neighbor. That was tax money at work - redistribution at its worst. And, no, the perps were not negroes - if you are a New Yorker you know that there can be no negroes in Bay Ridge. You clearly support all kinds of redistributions but some of them, such as the LITTLE money that goes to help overweight welfare queens eat and breath, you oppose. You seem to be very confused and very biased but this is normal, given that you are yourself a small beneficiary of the government's redistributions.

You know what the cops told me when I asked them why they refused to investigate and at least talk to my neighbor? They told me that the stuff stolen - I came home early and they escaped through the window while I was entering through the front door and they didn't have time to steal a lot - was not worth their investigation. Now, you tell me, would I prefer a welfare queen or a 3-4 city cops to work on this case? From a redistribution point of view, I'd take the welfare queen any time. Both 'teams' would do nothing or very little as far as catching the thieves but the welfare queen is a lot cheaper so there's less redistribution needed.

Production? You still refuse to face the fact that you were and you continue to be paid with money taken BY FORCE from your fellow citizens who did not necessarily ask for and do not need your services. If you believe that the money that keeps coming into your bank account is given away by your fellow New Yorkers freely and voluntarily, I suggest that you do some research and see what happens to those who refuse to voluntarily finance your work. Maybe you arrested some of those yourself - which, indeed, is a most productive service to society. Therefore, let's hear. Are you for redistribution, are you for some redistribution or do you oppose all forms of redistribution via government? Your refusal to answer this important question - and I gave you 3 options, of which the one in the middle allows for an infinite number of degrees - will indicate your losing the argument and your admitting that, in fact, you are for redistribution, to the degree that it benefits you or to the degree that you 'like' it but that you firmly oppose the redistributions that don't benefit you or that you don't like.

Now that he acknowledges he does, it's clear he has changed hard left, as have the others who fled for a more enjoyable experience. I support him despite his leftism not because of his leftism. Big difference. It is a tactical issue. How do we best get from where we are now (the edge of a fascist night) to where we want to be (freedom)? Your answer is: Sit on our hands and wait for the perfect pro-freedom candidate to come along, even if, in the meantime, that allows the GOP to stay in power and complete its total Nazi-fication of America. My answer is: Vote for the least fascist mainstream candidate to prevent the hard core fascists from keeping power, frustrate the Nazi-fiers and buy time so that the nation is not plunged past a point of no return into total tyranny. That way, the forces of freedom at least have a chance of staging a come back. Our circumstance is too dire to allow ourselves to be paralyzed into inaction by the old false left-right divide. We must ju jitsu the establishment into making war on itself. If that means empowering the socialist left to make war on the fascist right, then so be it. It's better than the alternative.

Yes, in the name of defeating socialism, I think JT's pension should be given to Halliburton via some no-bid contract. I'm sure there are some white elephant security systems that NYC can install in lieu of redistributing money in such a socialist fashion to actual citizens. That's the GOP's mode of governance, after all, and JT (apparently) prefers that to Obama's socialism. So, it's time to live your creed, JT. What do ya say? Maybe you should send your pension check to Halliburton directly, and cut out the middleman. ;^)

The lesser conundrum is a ruse designed by the Elite and offered to the electorate in hopes they continue to choose. They do. I see your participation as bread and circus, nothing more. For two months now Ive studied Obamas foreign policy (his domestic policy is a disaster, complete with a major gun grabbing push). On FP, his differs ever so slightly from Hillarys, and differs with that of McCain only in that Obama will change battlefields, shifting our resources to Afghanistan and perhaps the Pakistan border to hunt for our CIA asset, bin Laden. Your lesser strategy touches a real frustration many Americans have with the two-party system. We're left to pick the lesser of two evils, which has partly led to a nasty case of voter apathy. I and others refuse to participate. How can just two parties reflect the political ideology of over 200 million voting-age Americans? Think about your own values and opinions. Your views about abortion and gay marriage might be "democrat," but "republican" on gun control and taxes. Or are these differences still germane? I tend to think they no longer are as as both wings of the national bird are needed for flight. There are other ways of doing selections, of course, where multiple parties represent multiple interests. For example, the Canadian government is composed of members from the majority Liberal Party, the opposition Conservative Party, the socialist New Democratic Party and the separatist Bloc Quebecois. At this point in our history, since nobody reflects my views, Id be more than willing to try some form of mix and match. But it wont happen because people like you continue to compromise your principles for promises of change. Thanks for nothing.

All the money that made it into your paycheck, including the portion that went into your pension fund was money taken by the city or by the state from other people. The government took other people's money BY FORCE and some of that money was used to pay you and to fund your retirement. If that's not redistribution, then you tell me what redistribution is. By the way, while in Bay Ridge, I lived in a rent-controlled apartment. I was paying $270 for a 2-bedroom, utilities included, which was quite a bargain in the 80's. That was redistribution too and I loved it because it benefited me but, I suspect, the landlord did not like it one bit. Do you think I should have paid the landlord a little extra?

You still refuse to face the fact that you were and you continue to be paid with money taken BY FORCE from your fellow citizens who did not necessarily ask for and do not need your services. He also won't face the fact that a cop who does not respect the rule of law (and he openly proclaims his contempt for it) is nothing other than a jackbooted thug.

To reason, indeed, he was not in the habit of attending. His mode of arguing, if it is to be so called, was one not uncommon among dull and stubborn persons, who are accustomed to be surrounded by their inferiors. He asserted a proposition; and, as often as wiser people ventured respectfully to show that it was erroneous, he asserted it again, in exactly the same words, and conceived that, by doing so, he at once disposed of all objections. - Macaulay, "History of England," Vol. 1, Chapter 6, on James II.

A few days back I proffered a list of crimes that I refused to arrest people for. Dig up the list and tell me the ones you believe I should have enforced.

There are two directions in which you can go and be a jackbooted thug. You can refuse to enforce laws when to refuse to do so is improper (and I am not saying unreasonable laws like the Sullivan Law have to be enforced.) Or you can do improper things to people when the law does not permit it. If a cop despises the rule of law, he can very well do the latter.
