We have a few democrats so politically correct here that they've forgotten what freedom of speech means. They've also forgotten what price controls lead to: shortages.
I'm fiscally conservative. Mostly free market. And socially libertarian. Oh, and a dove. I don't belong to any party.
Bullshit, all you are saying with "get government out of my wallet" is that you don't mind others compensating by paying more in taxes for the less taxes you dont pay yourself.
It is basically selfishness "fuck you I got mine"
Just how much money do you think I'm made of?

It's a republic. Our government means what we as a people decide absent constitutional constraints. So why does what I vote suddenly become invalid because you disagree with it?
Quote:Rich people do not need tax cuts. They sell idiots like you that fucking line then tax you more to pay for what they they dont. And what they dont raise in your taxes they cut in medicare and social security and other benefits that WE pay taxes for.
Welfare, as opposed to Social Security, and Medicare/Medicaid accounts for little of the Federal or state budgets. As a stop gap measure, I see no problem it. But no able person should be allowed to live on it for long. Social Security and Medicaid/Medicare are really obligations we can't stop abruptly. People who've paid in should be paid out.
Lower taxes cross the board is lower taxes cross the board. But neither of us can have them until we have less, not more government.
And again, what you pay taxes for is what we and a nation decide. I don't pay income and property taxes with welfare in mind. I do pay Social Security taxes with those very specific benefits in mind.

Idiots like me (thank you very much BTW) would like to see an end to corporate welfare of all types including bailouts--also less regulation.
