If you approach policy from principles outcomes take care of themselves. Outcomes also inform the formation of theory. My point is that policy is not jet a matter of picking the outcomes you happen to like and just making whatever policy you think will bring those about. Anyone who thinks of politics in that way is not worth talking to.

lol yeah. Are you going to teach me about taxes again? That you continue to post after making such an embarrassing argument is funny.

AFAIK, when last we returned to the subject of the thread, you agreed with me that Henderson was being absurd.
Except that was never what we disagreed about. We disagreed about the question of is $250,000 as family income rich. You are carefully avoiding taking a position on this so I am going to ask you directly -- Is it your position that a family income of $250,000 is rich?

What are you talking about? Even if I did think that, why the **** do you care so much about MY personal definition of rich?
You're opening position was that $250,000 in family income is rich so your definition of rich is very much relevant. If you are going to claim something is X where X is somewhat subjective then you need to actually be willing to define what X is to you.
