1. The goal is pure. No one is saying that there should not be talk radio, nor that Fox should be closed. It is in fact about the volume and lack of civil conduct. It is not about what people are saying as much as how they are saying it. In old times, conservatives would have conversations with liberals without conservatives being called fascists or Nazi's and liberals being called Communists or socialists. They could disagree without being disagreeable. It worked
2.If one really wants the tone turned down, if not now, when? What needs to happen to get the name calling turned off and the conversation turned on?
Here is the question of the day, does anyone think that wealthy people should pay a lower percentage of their income to taxes than middle class people? Don't argue tax brackets, just a simple question. Do you think someone earning 46 million dollars should pay a lower percentage of their income than say someone earning sixty thousand?
