Hey Wiz,
There's no sense in arguing with this fool.  He obviously can't fathom that
government can't produce anything on its own.  If he even has a college
degree, he's been educated beyond his intelligence.

Basically, he's another sucker who believes individuals aren't smart enough
to decide matters for themselves and that those decisions should be made by
faraway folks who couldn't find their own asses with their two hands.  I'm
sure that he's salivating over Al Gore's economic plan this minute, sifting
through its 191 pages for goodies he thinks he's going to get.  And no,
you're not in the minority.
