Those on the right quack like left wingers?
Some of them do...all the time. You ever read the forum?

Then they're not on the right.
Yes, they are. See, most people don't actually know what they believe or why they believe it. They want to be slaves and that goes for some republicans just like it does for some democrats.
If they quack left wing nonsense, they're left wing not right wing.
What is left wing nonsense? Totalitarianism? The nanny state?
The mindset that one person that earned what they have somehow owes that to another person when they didn't. That wanting to keep more of what you earned is greedy while expecting a portion, however small, of what another person earned is not. That someone born a male can think they're a female because they feel that way. The concept that what a woman does with her body is her choice and no one else's business until she can't afford the results and it, therefore, becomes someone else's responsibility to support it.
So basically your problem is with money and not so much morality.
I think the conversation moved on to the question of what is left wing nonsense.So basically your problem is with money and not so much morality.
My problem is with the lack of personal responsibility people that demand someone else's money show toward themselves.
Morals can have nothing to do with it. Lefties have regularly said you can't legislate morals, that is, until they want to push their version of it.
I wouldn't go there, the GOP does that too.
I do think I have a handle on where you're coming from though and I don't disagree. Taxes should be for the benefit of society as a whole. I don't have a problem with a safety net either but I understand the counter-argument and can't dismiss it outright.
Taxes should be used for what the Constitution says the government has the authority to do. I have a problem with the safety net because those defending it do so under the guise that those with owe something to those without. The only was I owe it to another person or they deserve it is if I voluntarily hand it to them without mandate or punishment if I choose to not do so.
Actually, technically, your problem is with a federal safety net.
Like I said, what the Constitution says the government has the authority to do.
It's not a safety net. It's a way for those not being responsible to be enable to remain irresponsible.
But states could do it.
I agree with that.
Yet you still claim to no oppose social welfare programs on the federal level. That either makes you stupid or a liar.
