What do you guys think about it? also

Government?

The shorter argument is Higher corporate taxes specifically create jobs and wealth because redistributed wealth is money that producers can/will work to get back.

The very slightly longer argument is there is no need to fabricate a culture of work as a stand-in for a culture of slavery which forces "acceptable" tax redistribution to include some deserving test based on effort/work.

I recently engaged a liberal in a short debate about principles. She never revealed her principles, which I assume to be the protection of entitlements and unearned privileges at any cost, while I broke down the NAP and how everything pretty much develops from there.

Knowing I have an economics degree, she then ended the debate with, "You're an economist. I'm a humanist." I explained that I know she's voting for Obama who is most definitely not a humanist. I don't understand why liberals feel so elitist, especially in such a way as to declare themselves something they through their own admission and political acts cannot truly be.

Where can a humanist draw the line and be confrontational? And, as a philosophy for practice, is humanism a possibility for someone who tries to or rather has to participate in community and civic activities due to their profession?
