My apologies for not linking you the data behind that NCPA study. But would me linking that data even matter? I mean, it's just a bunch of right-wing nutjobs spouting talking points, right? It would appear that we can google fight all day long and not get anywhere, as the data can mean whatever you want it to mean, especially so considering it is so freakin difficult to link a specific policy detail to a long-term trend. I believe that the conservative economists like Walter Williams and Thomas Sowell have a better grasp on how to increase the standard of living for all humans than Al Gore, Obama or George Soros. On that point, I think we'll just have to agree to disagree, unless I'm missing your angle.

And lastly, Abraham Lincoln, whose words I think speak most eloquently behind the ideas in this thread:

A most excellent quote. Do you think it applies to people like Bill Gates, Warren Buffet and George Soros?
