In my opinion, the "pollys" on this forum do not want to interfere with your economic freedoms. If you want to buy pink plastic flamingos with your hard earned cash, by all means. I may not agree with your particular taste in lawn ornaments... but to each his (or her) own. The government is only entity actively involved in both reducing your income and directing your spending. Rail against them, if you are so inclined, but lighten up on the so-called "pollys."

Regards
