Joseph, yes your patronizing and tireness comes across quite clearly. Just as it does to conservatives, who most definitely DONT believe there is "enough to go around". Speaking for them they would say to you. FINE, if you wanna give some of your hard earned money to cause X, Y, Z, you do that, but leave my money ALONE!

Yeah, you don't get it... and the left does not get it. (I tend to vote left by the way). Its just patronizing. You are only correct in one aspect: one can do this all day, and one will not gain support from conservatives. yes, that is true.

starting from the ``there is enough to go around'' mind set can never get you there.

(still I do believe that a left candidate could appeal... Obama did it, others could too.)
