Gene Wolfe's Politics

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Yabbut raising taxes on the poor doesn't help either because they  
ain't got no money.

I am of the strong opinion that, rather than inviting the CEOs of the  
15 biggest banks in the country to the Oval Office and talking to  
them, we should simply hang them from lampposts by their own  
intestines as a warning to the others.  It would be much cheaper and  
much more effectual in the long--hell, even the medium--run.
