Why don't republicans STOP FREELOADING off of Uncle Sam?

Question

I keep hearing over and over cons complaining about taxes. "don't rais my taxes". "Blame Clinton, he raised taxes". "Read my lips, no new taxes" yeah we get the lies there in.

Any way, if you con jobs are so unpatriotic as to pay your fair share of taxes for public beaches, public school, public roads, public restrooms, public bridges, etc. Then stay off or out of them. Don't go using this patriot's countries schools. Don't go swimming at this patriot's public beach. Don't use this patriot's public restrooms.

AND STOP USING TAX DOLLARS FOR YOUR "CHURCH SCHOOL VOUCHERS"

Matter of fact if you cons are so unpatriotic to support this country, GO LIVE IN IRAQ. You prefer to allow Bush to funnel tax for YOUR private SS blackwater rather then thank the military.

Take off and leave the country you choose to neglect. Now who is the TRUE FREE LOADERS?

Enjoy your move to Iraq.

Answer 1

You forgot to mention the free loading of public subsidies from the major cash cow, the pentagon system. The US spends off the charts in "defense" spending compared to other countries. Before the 911, the US spent more than the next 15 highest defense spenders--combined! Love or hate the truth, but this welfare for the rich (namely, the high-tech industry and politicians who receive contributions from the companies). Talking about this notion is like speaking in alien language to Americans because they're so ignorant; ironically, at the same time they complain about taxes.

The current occupations are additional expenses to 500 billion allotted for "defense." A country like Britain spends 30-40 billion on defense; the US spending any more than 100 billion is a sham. I can't believe dems and rep buy into this but don't fatten their pockets like the "military-industrial-complex." Eisenhower, of course coined this term and warned of its rise decades ago.

Answer 2

Patriotic? what are you talking about? I spent 20 years in the military at substandard wages to insure you the right to run your not so sophisticated mouth. I have been shot at and by some guy I didn't even know. since you are so opposed to church school vouchers I think that maybe you have been listening to the wrong people, people in the know would not say that, conservative or liberal either one. It is by far cheaper to use school vouchers than it is to build a school to accommodate all of the children with in a school district. I sent my children to a Christian School, but then there were no school vouchers. The amount of the school vouchers are very small in comparison to what it cost to put a child into a public school. I have another problem with what you have said about public funding. You have said that we shouldn't use any of the things that you have labeled us as unpatriotic. Just what have you done that was patriotic? Don't answer with I have paid my Taxes,.......here is a clue for you so have all of us and I would guess that we have paid a heck of a lot more than you have. Surely you are not so naive that you believe that folks with $80,000 can't afford health care insurance. Have you researched the Health plan of Mrs. Clinton? Maybe you should know that under her plan you are no longer going to have a choice about whether you have health insurance or not, you are going to have it as it will be mandated, the amount that you pay will vary but none the less you are going to have insurance and you will provide that insurance to any and all of your children. When you go hunting it is a good idea to load your gun, and not with blanks and not with innuendo or conjecture.

Answer 3

Here's the first problem: You said "Your fair share of taxes".

Democrats and Republicans disagree on what constitutes "fair". Obviously, Democrats think it is a lot higher than Republicans. To presume that makes them freeloaders and to make the logical leap that they don't want roads and schools is incorrect, inaccurate, and quite probably intellectually dishonest, especially considering that we would not have a single one of these things in government budgets without Republican support.

A second thing that Democrats disagree with Republicans over is whether or not higher tax rates means higher tax revenue. This is because Democrats refuse to understand the Laffer Curve, which is pretty elementary Economics. All you have to do to understand it is to go to McDonald's, and watch how many hamburgers they sell over the course of an hour, then try to deduce how many they'd sell if they raised the price to $100 each. Higher prices and tax rates do not necessarily increase profits.

Given your inability to understand that already, the sheer idiocy of your suggestion that people that are forced to pay taxes they don't want to pay should just refuse to use the services their confiscated tax dollars buy is understandable.

The only part of your post that goes beyond laughable to irritating is calling yourself a patriot.

You'll find the definition of "patriot" in the last sentence of the Declaration of Independence. I doubt seriously that it fits you.

Answer 4

The answer is simple.
Republicans will stop freeloading once we (the voting public) realize that both reps and dems are the exact same thing. We are in a no win situation if we keep voting the same old tired lies into office. As a country, we need to form a new party, one that is simply of the people and for the people and by the people. We cannot have that without voting into office someone from middle america who can relate to the "REAL" world as we live it.

Answer 5

Complaining is okay, no one is advoctating avoiding tax payments. They only ask that spending be decreased which will in turn help everyone by reducing the tax burden from the lower middle class which is struggle in much of America today. Socialist ideas will only increase this tax burden while creating a overly dominant state.

It i sour right and duty to object to govnment actions we don't agree with. It is not a right or obligation for citizens of this nation to roll over and take whenever some crackpot wants to fund a pet project of theirs. Learn your opopnents areguments first, and than come up with one other wise you end up this rant turned question.

PS:
Just where are voucher programs funding religious schools?

Answer 6

Excuse me? I am a republican, but you seem to be streo-typing all republicans into a mold that does not fit just for republicans but for demoasses too . I come from a democratic state, do you want to know how many times I've heard a democrat say, I won't raise your taxes, and they sky rocket within a matter of months and that is just for city and county.
Hello, most states don't pay for privite religious school vouchers.
Second of all I pay out the wazoo for taxes, and so have my brothers, who have defended your right to disrespect them, and our money that goes to OUR public areas, and OUR public works progams.
Finally, I want you to go see Iraq and live over there for a year and go thru what OUR true patriots go thru on a daily basis. Have you risked your life to defend YOUR country and YOUR public works? Have you sacrificed time with your family and friends to defend them and keep their homes safe?
It is people like you that we need to ship off in a f***** crate and drop in the middle of the desert you stupid, ignorant b****!!!!!
BUGGER OFF!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 7

Well, I do not know of any Liberal's who have refused the Bush Tax cuts and sent the money into the government. As Republicans we are not asking for cradle to grave support from the government like many Liberals want. We want to be responsible for ourselves and our families first and foremost. With that said we also do not think that we should be forced to take care of someone because they choose to be a ski bum, or have no interest in finishing high school. Why should we pay for someone who spends their leasure time on their back and then wants to screw the taxpayers? This is what you are advocating. You want socialism. You assume that people are stupid and need taking care of by the government. You just want to be irresponsible and have someone take of you. What makes this country great is that people can achieve what they want and set their minds to and the best way to discourage that mindset is to bring in more government. It is the Democrats who wish to destroy this nation by turning it into another socialistic state.

Answer 8

I agree with you on the school voucher program and also the faith based initiatives.

However, the current tax system in the US needs to be redone. It is too bulky and cumbersome and it places too much burden on people who earn more. It is a system that punishes those who make more money. In the end, that does not help the economy. Those people are usually running businesses and they just pass those extra taxes on to the consumers by increasing the price of their goods, or by reducing the number of workers, or by reducing the quality of their goods.

Now, asking people who do not want more taxes to stop using public works is not right. These people are paying taxes and they have paid for the right to use these. In fact, there are people who pay absolutely no taxes at all and they can use these public works. So, asking people who want to pay less taxes to not use them is wrong.

Answer 9

I don't know what you've been told, but I can assure you that conservatives do pay their fair share of taxes.

In fact, since conservatives tend to be more affluent and we have a graduated tax system, on average I'd say they pay more than their fair share.

Whoever told you that conservatives don't pay taxes was lying to you. I think you should go back to them and demand to know why.

Answer 10

Hey commy! Wait a damn minute! It's not the public beaches, public schools, public roads, public restrooms, public bridges, etc that we object to. It's the food stamp program that you commucrats started that is supposed to be only used for 18 months and you have let generations flourish off it. The founding rules state if you are of working condition 18 months is your maximum qualification period. Then there is the public housing where you cram people into an area not fit for cattle, and the unthinkable amount of abortions you ask us to pay for instead of teaching the girls to keep their purity for their husbands. Your immoral values have become the scourge of this land and we are tired of paying for it.
