"On a side note, do you believe you are "entitled" to the benefits of our nation, without having to pay your share? "
Ok, I wasn't going to chime in, but you have to be the stupidist bastard on the board right now (im name calling because you deserve it, and I have earned the right to do so with b, s, t)..
I pay my share... do you? I pay taxes, I do my civic duties, I also donate to charity to help my fellow man..
I refuse to pay more taxes to keep people in a welfare situation. Id rather pay more taxes to ensure the elderly do not have to worry about utilities or basic necessities of life, if you are going to redistribute MY HARD EARNED MONEY YOU MORON..
I refuse, if I had the choice to pay for some dumb hoosier who refuses to work hard and keeps thinking that since I have something and they don't that they deserve it (hint, hint, asshole, I worked hard to get where I am.. Nothing was handed to me).
Its people like you who, if they get in power, are going to make us just like the soviet union..
With all of that said, you will note that I am for higher taxes to ensure the elderly and retired are taken care of properly and do not have to worry about necessities of life..
That doesn't mean they get a big screen t.v. or cable internet.
This makes me so mad when someone wants to take my money to support a bunch of folks looking for handouts, WHICH RUINS IT FOR THE FOLKS WHO NEED IT!!
