They take my taxes.
Fact is if they will stop trying to do so much for all those that whine for government handouts, they can do a lot more for me.
They'll give you what you wish for a vote. But for that, you'll pay 1/3rd of your income. (15% Fed, 15+% FICA, and state income tax, + sales tax, + property tax, +++)
They (the government) collect 7 dollars for every 1 they contribute back. Can you afford this? Do you really want them to do more?
What they have done for me is create a fabulous economy where welfare recipients have dvd's, cable and microwaves. Considering in other countries few have any of those, why would I ask the government to do more at their inefficient rate of return?

Not a whole lot to make the train stop coming at this point, it is full speed ahead on a collision course...jumping out in front of it will not stop it...
The only thing we can do is try to get out of debt as quickly as possible and save some food back for when the economy falls apart, which it will soon...don't hesitate to prepare now!
If you wait, you will regret it later...there will come a time very soon, when you will not be allowed to buy or sell anything without a "mark" in the hand or on the forehead...it will be better to die when that time comes than to receive the mark.

Voting only works if you like the choices you're given. When you have the option to vote none of the above and the majority agreed, our voting system should provide more choices not the next highest candidate. What's the point in asking for "none of these candidates", letting the world know that the majority didn't like their choices, and put the other in. I quit voting because as a democracy, we have the privilege & freedom to vote for the options they push on us. Remember when they didn't ask for "none of these candidates". Maybe we are working up to this option. My great grandkids maybe will see it.

Lets see:
I woke up this morning and made coffee from the government-regulated and safe drinking water.
I then turned on my computer which runs on government regulated electricity.
In a few minutes I will shower, dress and then drive down a government maintained and policed road to my appointment with a government licensed dentist.
Apparently - I have been taking advantage of government services since I woke up this morning.
