ParticipantI just plan on boycotting the airlines. Their lobbyists will put enough pressure on congress to get rid of the scanners. Of course they may be stubborn since it’s a good excuse to be able to search anyone that travels by air. Anybody else realize that there is no way to get out of San Diego with going through some sort of government checkpoint? I got a pat down going through Arizona because the stupid dog smelled my friend’s cat on my jeep. I’m tired of all of it. I think it’s time for a real push back against the government using security as an excuse to illegally search citizens.

My point – people of both parties often vote with their bottom line in mind – whether it is business opportunities, tax policies, etc.Voting your bottom line is rational and I accept that.
But how do we explain the working-class conservatives in the poor Red States and the poor/poorer areas of California?
Notice that all the counties along the Coast of California are blue (expect for Del Norte County, and the very top, and Orange County, home to thousands of right-wing Vietnamese refugees on welfare who tip the balance in favor of the Republicans).
As was discussed before, the estate tax is a big rallying cry for Tea Partiers and conservatives. But it only affects 5500 estates per year. It’s clearly not a bottom line issue for those conservatives.

Even though I am one of those ignorant, working class, Republicans, I am still smart enough to know that is is wrong for anyone (government included) to take something that doesn’t belong to them (in the form of higher taxes, fees, etc.) regardless of their intent.
Also, as a working class, ignorant, Republican, I can’t stand the snobbery coming from the “Intellectual Elites” who seem to think they know how I should live my life better than I do.

Participant[quote=BigGovernmentIsGood]The only true remedy to deflation is to tax wealth and to have a very high estate tax. This will allow for redistribution of wealth from the upper classes who are hoarding it to the lower, more productive classes who will spend and invest it.[/quote]
There’s an idea! Communism will fix it!
