Just like the welfare queens you so despise.
Just like the car execs come begging to Congress.
You no longer have a moral ground to stand on, nor are your arguments against deficit spending valid.
NOW it's clear what your agenda is.
You don't mind the government spending money - as long as it's just spending money on YOU.

Come back and argue against big government when you practice what you preach - until such time I can only count you as someone in favor of big government (it's just that you want that big government only spending on YOU).

Sadly, that's usually the case with those who complain the loudest about taxes and big government.

Zing...WAY over your head.

It is pretty simple really.
I am shrugging,I am no longer going to pay in and instead I am going to become one of those who is a burden.

Surely you cannot complain about THAT,or are you one of those who hate those less fortunate than yourself????

You must hate the less fortunate.

people like to pretend that war within the US isnt possible. oh no, we are way too civilized now. it could never happen. not only is it possible, its inevitable. in 50 years we are either going to be the confederate states of america or the socialist republic of america.
