Hmmmm

Allow me to pose a question. Hopefully nobodies spirits will be crushed or feelings hurt by this one. It is a political one. If you are a a true Democrat, shouldn't you vote Republican? Allow me to explain. Simply from the financial perspective, if you voted for many of the things Republicans believe in, low taxes and less govt, wouldn't this allow you more ability to actually improve the things that Democrats typically want to improve. This would empower you to personally do more to support those interests. For example, afford better education, tutoring, give more to charity, support an ailing relative, get an education, and so on. Interesting concept, don't you think. I read about this 'idea' in a book called "The World is Flat", by Friedman. He is very liberal in his thinking and writing, and the book is fasinating and eye opening. But this statement really stuck with me. It makes some sense, whichever side of the isle you fall.
