I didn't find it worthy of debate.
I'll admit it - I used to lean (slightly) towards the conservative side on many if not most economic issues. The economic train wreck of the last decade, along with seeing first hand the struggles of good decent people, has completely changed my mind. (Not to mention the ass raping perpetrated by the mortgage and banking industries.)
I personally have been fortunate through the economic troubles of the 21st century - I've managed to keep the same job through more "right-sizings" than I care to count, and my salary is enough to meet my needs and support my child well (he lives with my ex), as well as help others in my circle of friends when I can. But - I've seen so many of the people I care for struggle to get by in tough times. I just can't have a "fuck you, I've got mine" attitude towards them or anyone else who is in need. And now - unfortunately, my own fortune has changed and I've found myself off work and living on disability
A lot of good people have been economically raped during the crises of the last decade or so, and in my view it's heartless to do nothing but give them the finger.
...and frankly, I don't really give a flying fuck if anyone disagrees.
