Why is this forum infested with Econ Conservatives?

I count as a white suburban male(on all but US census forms) and am internet savvy but somehow I'm not leftist. I wonder why that is.

You're just too cute, that's all.  hahaha

Speaking of your not being a leftist...

Your sig hurts my eyes.  I know it's ironic, but it's such a bright red that I have to squint.

Ah the common speech standard. I had never heard of the case; thanks for bringing it to my attention. Somehow I suspect it is not "good law" anymore in any, way, shape or form. In any event, now you know you are "white" and part of the problem rather than the solution. Deal with it!

Well, that decision has never been overturned (though it is no longer relevant). So I am not white. Ha!

Much, thanks.

No problem.

[Eraserhead]

What a funny little thread we have here. Thnks guys, I needed a few laughs today.

[King]

I don't know where I am.  I just wish there was a way to get all the 'guaranteed' benefits of progressivism with a conservative plan.

Why is jamespol's brain infected with stupidity?

[Sam Spade]

Class.

Exactly.  And now exactly why is this forum inhabited by so many social liberals?  Lack of the 'r' word, of course.

[Alcon]

Three words:

White suburban males.

That also works as a good explanation for alot of the leftists.

I'm not a white suburban male.

Now that you have found a single violating example, I'm stymied.

My conservative score may hide this desire.  But I agree completely.

Opebo gave the right answer to a number of different questions except the one being asked (which makes an incorrect assumption in the first place).

Jesmo, the forum is filled with privileged upper middle class teens who have no understanding of economics.

[dead0man]

I guess I would fall under I and J. But the Supreme Court ruled in U.S. v. Bhagat Singh Thind that I'm not white.

Thankfully the Supreme Court isn't the end all be all.  The ruling was reversed in 1946.  Science tells us you're a cracker, thus, you're a cracker.  It sucks doesn't it?

Of course now you have to pick a favorite NASCAR driver, that will let you know if you're a Chevy or Ford man.

I was referring to BRTD not you.

Neither am I. I'm only a white male, only 2/3.

[Ban my account ffs!]

I think Opebo had it right:  The forum is full of upper middle class white males who understand the economy only from lemonade stands, allowance, and the econ 101 textbook.

LOL. I went a bit beyond Econ 101. In any event, the assumption, that a deeper understanding of economics leads one to the economic Left strikes me as odd. But than the Big Blue Babe is odd. Northern Minnesota is odd. Garrison Keillor (sp) is odd. In any event, I can't get anyone to engage me here is a rough and tumble economic debate, despite some feelers. Nobody bit. Hmmmn.
