[Rhodes22-list] Public Radio and TV

[Philip Esteban]

I have no argument with you there.  If other countries allow their people
personal freedom, they will make their own fortune and won't need the US
welfare.  The disagreement comes in how to make this country a paradise.  I
believe it is personal freedom and responsibility (enforced by reasonable
laws) not government largess.

Agree with you again.  I am a super liberal and they want us to pay.  If
evangelistic congress folk want other countries to be just like the US so
badly, let them cough up their own dough for their forced feeding and stop
stealing the surplus we had and taxes that could be better spent.  For years
I have been preaching:  Make this country a paradise and the rest of the
world will follow.  Mess up what we had going here and you see what the rest
of the world is starting to think about us.
