I guess it's like usual then, that u can't discuss the amount of taxes with a liberal/socialist minded. They will always assume that the level set by a government can't be too high, not even abroad.

Kinda the same when discussing immigration, a typical liberal will never admit that the level of immigration is too high anywhere.

I really don't want to be mean, but I just got rejected from a PhD today and I'm in a foul mood tonight...

So that's it? The right is correct and the left is wrong about these things? Is it really that black and white? Almost to the point of where the 'lefties' just can't grasp the concept of tax and immigration and thus all opinions they hold are wrong. Come on now. Everyone here has given some form of valid opinion.


Ok, maybe I replied to Montana with a kneejerk reaction. I had a ruff day too, yesterday, hence my rant about my personal economical situation. But I think I have a point too, that it's a typical phenomenon when these standpoints clash that there's an inability to discuss proportions, but everything is described as black or white (so actually I was first in accusing others for seeing everything in black and white, and now u accuse me lol). I repeat, I've seldom heard one with a socialist mind agree that any tax is too high anywhere, or that immigration could be too high anytime anywhere on earth. It seems like by some kind of principle they're always for it - taxes can by nature never be too high, immigration is always right, there can never be too much emphasis on womens, homosexual's or racial minoritie's rights etc - it's always only positive.

@Montana

Sorry if I replied to you in a hostile way with predujice, but I interpreted your reply to have a bit sarcastic tone. Actually I still think u were.
