Sorry, but you don't want your dimes taken away from you because you don't want anyone to get anything for nothing - is what this all comes down to.

And I don't want my dimes taken away from me for wars.

BTW, I don't think medicare and medicaid are in the Constitution either. And just who pays for these? OOPS - gosh, it's looking like SOCIALIZED MEDICINE.

That is absolute nonsensical BS. ,Do a little research. All hospitals have to stabilize anyone in need, even if it means a heart/lung transplant.

That is what is wrong with all the illegal alien criminals pouring into our country. They get free health care and the system has to make up for it somewhere.

Don't go there with me, I work in the field.

You might want to lookup the difference in a dictionary..

Uh, the FIRST thing that came up when I did a 'define:' search for promote was:


"contribute to the progress or growth of"

Maybe YOU might want to do a little 'looking up' yourself.

I'm all for cancelling medicare, and medicaid on a federal level. No arguments from me. Taking care of its citizens is a state obligation, protecting the citizens is a federal one..

Right, and I stand by my statement that all of the nonsense you put forth about Constitution this or that is just a front for the fact that...you don't want anyone to get anything for nothing.

Yet, you have no problem spreading death and destruction. And I pay taxes period. I don't care what level. All I know is my tax dollars are going to support something unnecessary and destructive.

And yet you continue to skirt the issue. Admit it - you don't want anyone to get anything for nothing.

And if you cannot be honest about this, I am not going to continue this discussion.
