Yet Protestants were equally complicit in the genocide of the Native Americans, of the Ethnic Cleansing of the Americas, of wiping out the languages, customs, religions, dress, residency and occupation of the Native Americans.
The same thing happened in Australia.
Protestants were also engaged in the slave trade and segregation.
NO, the bulk of the deficit is due to all the entitlements promised to all of us over the last few decades that are protected by law. In other words there is no way to reduce the deficit because these entitlements cannot be reduced.
Deficits are due to spending more than you bring in. Obviously, one of the solutions is to bring in more. Cutting taxes for the rich is just as much to blame for the deficit as it is Social Security and Medicare that take care of the middle class. It is interesting that you only want to attack the programs made for the middle class instead of the massive tax cuts for the rich. That doesn't even begin to touch on subsidies for rich oil companies and overspending on defense.
