We dodged a bullet when Mccain and his bitch sidekick lost.

[HolyCity2012]

I do not appreciate the country accent representing the ignorant rigt or "the bad guys".

Come on Sam, you are better than that.

Warrants (they don't use them anyway), staffing (stuffing), communications system (spying), widening a road (eminent domain).

"Those people are morons"?...

They want to double my property tax this year to pay for the doubled police force and additional code enforcement officers. They spent a million bucks on a GPS system which can spy in my backyard in real time (under the guise of improving the water). They did cut back on the $16,000 per year automobile allowance though.

Yeah, you know those two big craters in the ground in manhattan that have been around for just under a decade? Yeeeeeeeeeah, maybe we'll fund to fix that later.

[MaryJesusJoseph]

@chenalos Dipshit whining 5 minute memory douchebag.

[chenalos]

@MaryJesusJoseph

That was uncalled for.

[themredweirdoshow]

@chenalos Actually, I called for it. On my own phone. And I paid the long distance bill. So it's okay.

[pokemanz]

Most rural states bring in way more federal funds than they pay back. Their politicians will get stomped over this.

[MaryJesusJoseph]

No one in Salt Lake City abuses their wives.

[chenalos]

@MaryJesusJoseph

Fucking moron.

[MaryJesusJoseph]

@chenalos Asswipe idiot mongoloid.

Between 6:40 and 7:10 is the exactly how I think when I have interactions with libertarians...

[matcotech]

Libertarians can't seem to grasp the macro scale of industry. They would be crushed by corporations if the government didn't regulate.

[dsdougharty]

Libertarians seem to believe that people and companies will all do what is best for the common good because capitalist pressures will asure just that. I see no evidence in the world to support this assumption. capitalist pressure seems to act to the contrary instilling in everyone a sense of urgent greed. A need to grab up everything that you can before someone else does. However, I do agree that giving your money to a government set on giving it away asap Sucks.

Sam tears it up on the moronic earmarks ban. Go Sammy!

[zmc33]

instead of earmarks we should just reduce the tax rate by that amount!!

let the people keep their money instead of trying to get it back through earmarks!!

[Waage83]

@zmc33 But that would not fix things in some rural areas.

Having a earmark to take care of say a Historical Landmark is not something a tax cut will fix.

Stupid earmarks are of course a problem, but some earmarks are very VERY useful and good for the society as a whole.

@Waage83

welp...seems every time we try to redistribute wealth things get ugly.

individual, personal freedom requires letting individuals do what they want with their property....regardless of their plight.

i'm sure that if all people had more money, they would do good things with it to help....(at least some would).

but hey....i know nothing, im a carpet layer!!!

[MarmaladeINFP]

Earmarks helping local communities will hurt conservatives more than liberals. The most conservative states tend to receive more federal funding than they give in federal taxes. That less than a 1/2 of a percentage may be small in the federal budget, but that is big money for local communities.
