It isn't the only alternative. But lately, democratic candidates are becoming more and more socialist. Unfortunately, republicans are also becoming less and less conservative.

They aren't making the wealthy wealthier. They just aren't taking as much of the wealthy's money as the left would like. There is a critical difference there. I don't see anything in this country that's keeping someone in the middle class from making a buck. Anyway, I think a flat tax rate would be perfectly fair. Taxing the wealthy more just because they have plenty to get by with is wealth redistribution. That's not what you support is it?

I never said there was a problem with trans-lesbianism. I would just prefer to be a shemale. But social pressures, not political pressures, keep me from doing it. For me at least, it's something I can live with. Crossdressing provides a release.
