We're trying to have a civilization here!

I am a Democrat and this is what I believe:

I believe that is better to alleviate suffering than to mock it;

I believe the poor man is equal to the rich man;

I believe the ugly is equal to the beautiful;

I believe government exists to benefit and protect its citizens;

I believe in fair play;

I believe taxes are what we pay to live in a society;

If you do not believe these things you are welcome to renounce your participatory citizenship in our civilization.

I believe "trickle-down" economics is a load of shit.

I believe Free Speech has consequences.
