Obviously not!
I thought I was fairly capable in the use of the English language but perhaps not.
Perhaps the both of you need to become more fluent in the flow of conversational posts in a forum like this.
I didn't misinterpret what Bigun said, you just believe that I should have understood the explanation before he actually gave one.
First, Bgun said this:
"... more would IF we had a government insisting that they get off of that porch instead of doing everything possible to make sure they don't ever do that!"
Then I responded by saying this:
So, in your mind, the solution is MORE government action, not less.
To which Bigun replied with:
Absolutely not! MUCH less government action is in order in fact!
The reason they stay on the plantation is that WE allow the government to give them much more than they could possibly earn with a real job!
THAT should not ever happen in a free country!
THEN, many posts after that, Howie66 cames in and asks me how I reached the conclusion that I did (re: more government rather than less), and I explained how I got there.
That didn't mean that I didn't understand what Bigun said, I was just helping you understand why I had said what I had said to Bigun: "Having a government insisting" that people do one thing instead of another is replacing one government action with another"....etc, etc.
Please keep up with the flow of the conversation.
