I was actually rather surprised to see your comment; you are the first Presidential candidate to do so!

As for “welfare” I generally define it as “the provision of welfare services by the state.” That is a bit vague, and I find that I often evoke it when I am talking about Welfare States as a whole, but as for a clear definition, I think that will be acceptable.

I commend you for attempting to remove some of the cynicism from politics; if the last few months of campaigning have shown anything, it is that most American’s are looking for a candidate that is optimistic about the future.

But as for me, I will remain skeptical and sarcastic. I find those dispositions to be the best ammunition available to me in these rather amusing times. It takes all kinds in this world, and while I respect positive visions and hope, our discourse requires those who look at those willing to march us towards “a brighter day” and chuckle a bit.

And to be honest, I don’t think your platform is as bizarre as some of your Third Party contemporaries (and I thought I sounded pretty sympathetic in my piece).

I wish you the best of luck during this grueling campaign season, and I will be checking up on your campaign to see how things are progressing.
