Believe me, the feeling is mutual. I find your logic equally baffling, convoluted and downright nonsensical. My guess is that it's all that "fairness and justice" nonsense you want to spout to support your ideas while demanding that those whose opinions differ from yours support theirs with facts. Here's a small sampling:

Contradicted yourself in one sentence. Fairness is not "data."
And of course, I must still provide hard proof of my ideas...

Obvious to whom? Trust me. If you had to live on my paycheck, you'd cry your eyes out. I can't even even see the national poverty level from my seat.
