You don't write checks to the government. Your tax balance is withheld and destroyed digitally.

Do you have anything logical, scientific, or factual?

Like I said, the government is self-sustaining. The government needn't take a cent in tax revenues to actually fund itself.

You just can't get over your irrational hatred for government. Why are you so afraid?

Look, we get that you hate government. Stop trying to ruin our government for those who want a government for the people.
Posts like that indicate a level of utter ignorance. Have you seen the trillions that make up our fiscal operating debt and tens of trillions that make up our unfunded liabilities?

I think this sums it up perfectly:

The roots of liberalism — and its associated madness — can be clearly identified by understanding how children develop from infancy to adulthood and how distorted development produces the irrational beliefs of the liberal mind. When the modern liberal mind whines about imaginary victims, rages against imaginary villains and seeks above all else to run the lives of persons competent to run their own lives, the neurosis of the liberal mind becomes painfully obvious.

Tell me please, how exactly does Obamacare provide me with health care?

Forcing me to buy health insurance with a huge deductible does not provide me with health care, it provides insurance companies with premiums.

What exactly about those checks makes your irrationally angry? Do you not support any of your money being spent on defense, the elderly, education, etc?

Do you see how easy this nonsense is to twist around?

Conservative imaginary victims - white males and Christians being discriminated against
Conservative imaginary villains - minorities, homosexuals
Run the lives of persons competent to run their own lives - abortion, gay marriage

You didn't answer the question. Are you honestly going to say you think that check should be for zero dollars?

As I said, match my quarterly tax payments then tell me we need big government. Until you match me anything you say has no basis.
