@gunner5050 If republicans are SO patriotic, why do they have such a big problem contributing to the country whos laws & systems allow them to live in the manner which they do? Sounds like a bunch of blood-sucking leeches to me...

@gunner5050, In every society, gvrmnt is neccessary for things the people can't provide for themselves. Law enforcement, massive transportation& utility infrastructure, defense, & legislation & judicial systems. Gvrnmnt can also play a big role in stabalizing the economy & common well-being. All these things cost money, hence, taxes. W/ such less taxes that you wish for, many of these things would be underachieved & could result in the U.S. falling behind.

@gunner5050 if you REALLY look at history, it is the liberals who want less government to begin with. The freedom of choice, who we can marry, what we learn in school, what we wear & say, religion, what is able to be shown on TV, privacy laws, lowering the defense budget to lessen our government in OTHER countries..is ALL about LESS government. The exact opposite of these things is true for the Republicans and results in MORE government intrusion.

I think obamacare is the best thing a president has done, healthcare-wise. Healthcare shouldn't be all about profits, and thankfully the goverment is checking that 'industry' before nobody other than the very rich can afford healtchare. People of a nation are like children. They don't know any better & they need to be given rules and limits before everything around us falls apart. & trust educated professionals to set these rules & limits, not 'Joe from down the street' or greedy businessmen.

@gunner5050, the idea of 'less government' would be much desireable from a liberal point of view if the republicans weren't so hypocritical about it. They say 'don't tax so much', but say 'we want to force women to have their child because our religious beliefs". They say 'lower or eliminate funding for public schools', but say 'creationism should be taught to ALL children in public schools even if their parents don't want them to learn it'. Repubs LOVE big government, if it benefits THEM.

@Wickedsky1986 Hello! Wake up will you? All these politicians in DC put on a pretty good show don't they? We really don't know what the hell is going on behind the scenes until it is too late.  Can I mention Obamacare, homeland security, etc...

[gunner5050]

@Wickedsky1986 "Government is a good thing. It keeps our nation in check." You need to go back and read what our founding fathers said concerning too much federal government. You have a condradicting point of view. I agree that corporations have been in the pockets of politicians and this needs to change but the people in control at this time are the same as the ones before them. They scratch each other's backs to get their way. Wow! Not enough space to respond to all your points.

@gunner5050, this is evident in the U.S. Supreme Courts decision to have no limits on how much 'corporations' can spend on political lobbying and donating. It was the republican justices who allowed this to occur. Blatant evidence on how republicans want to take power away from the people & empower wealthy corporations. Thanks to republicans, 'the people' now have no voice because the average person can't give millions of dollars to a political candidate for advertising. Thank people like u.
