    "Save me, government!"

    Well, it works over there, but not over here. Our population is too big.

    Okay, so maybe not EVERYTHING in a citizen's every day life. But for things like browsing the internet, watching TV, talking on the phone, the Government should not spy on you. And for earning your paycheck, the taxes the government take out of it should help YOU, and not somebody else.

    I am by no means against taxation. But I think that too much of it is too much.

    Yeah, conservatives amuse me like that sometimes.

    "Taxes BAD!"
    "Down with Taxes!"
    etc.


    If they spent a year in a third world country, they'd be praising taxes all the way to the IRS.

    Because it wasn't the Bush Republicans who supported that. It was the democrats!:rolleyes:
    We've got the makings of an Ayn Rand here! Please, go spend five years in Pakistan and then tell me we're paying too much taxes.

    That is exactly my point. Thank you, even if that was intended to go against me.

    Mike Huckabee made a fund where people could send extra taxes if they felt like they weren't paying enough. It had about $1000 bucks in it, all from one person, by the end of his tenure as Governor.

    No one likes paying taxes, Vivec, not even you. I'm not saying they're a bad thing, I like having a functioning goverment. But no one ever likes paying them.

    Should we "go back" to the gold standard?

    No. Even though that would be a great solution to the lawsuit involving blind people not being able to differentiate paper money.

    I was exageratting on the "praising taxes" part. I know full well that no one likes it. But I find the whole "Taxes are evil" concept misinformed.

    Back to serious business.

    Kev, you know you're completely uninformed about Obama, right?

    What has Obama done or proposed that makes him a socialist?

    Paulites aren't idiots.

    I dont mind paying tax, I pay 44% tax on everything I make. But I know that in order to maintain everything public in this country I have to pay it, so it doesn't bug me at all.

    I barely pay any taxes, because I don't work much and don't make much money, but it still bugs me. And if 44% of everything I made was taxed, I would be seriously piassed.

    Furthermore . . .

    WHAT IN OBAMA'S NAME IS ****ING WRONG WITH YOUR COUNTRY?! 44% AT YOUR LEVEL OF INCOME! MY GOD MAN!
