Yet all the black people in Nevada still voted for Reid...

@Hemi..only in America, can you pay say 10,000 dollars of taxes in a lifetime, and expect the Gov't to lavish you with 1 quarter of a million dollars with benefits. Rough example, but I hope you get it.

[chetohimler]

@Hemi..I got the info from books.

[chetohimler]

@Hemi..Its TAXATION, whats this 'they're only supposed to hold it for us?" What are banks for? Its that where Liberals are putting all your "Nest Eggs?" The Gov't? All my life I've lived near a Military Base. Its huge & it keeps growing. High buildings & technology stuff. Do you know the salary of a G.I-E4 or higher? Good money. Don't tell me running a Military is'nt expensive. How about the best equipment in the world?

[chetohimler]

@Hemi..You are in denial. Your taxes pay for freeways,railroads, airspace,public schools,etc. Those are gov't expenses. All the public uses these means of traveling and expect them to be in working order. "ASK NOT WHAT YOUR COUNTRY CAN DO FOR YOU, BUT ASK, WHAT CAN I DO FOR MY COUNTRY." Words by a Democrat to discourage GOV'T DEPENDENCY.

I hate to break it to you - but this Big-Government socialist bull-shit is a lie. The truth is, we're being taken for a ride. The elite are the socialists. They're feeding off the backs of the working public. And they're gonna sell you whatever line of shit it takes to keep it that way. When Republicans cry about spending it's for one reason - so more money can be spent on the Military Industrial Complex. And the Dems are just as bad, but at least they'll spend some of our tax-dollars on us.

@chetohimler

Did you look up what I asked you too? It's like a big fucking joke to these Government clowns. And like I said before, 4.6 trillion of our 12 trillion debt was taken from SS and Medicare. This is money being taken out of our check for our retirement and healthcare. I'd rather the G had nothing to do with it. They're only supposed to hold it for us - but they're spending it.

[HemiHead66]

I don't know where you got SS and Medicare were temporary. You're wrong. And like I said before, we pay for this stuff. And you better look at the tax revenue the Federal Government collects. No way does the security of our country come anyway near that much. Those assholes burrn it on their pet projects. They also steal it. Go look up - Rumsfeld 2.5 trillion in defense spending missing - on You Tube. They have never been able to account for that money. They use it to make themselves money.

[chetohimler]

@Hemi..The Gov't is taxing us to provide for the defense of the country. SS, Medicare, etc were programs initiated to be temporary, not permenant. Taxing provides for the institution known as gov't. I.E running the country. Your job pays you, you provide for your family. However, now people are DEPENDANT on the Gov't. But if the Gov't taxes you for those programs, people bitch. I'm for keeping the Gov't outta peoples lives & NO MORE TAXATION.Let people keep their $,& pay their own HC insurance.

[HemiHead66]

If you agree, why are you disagreeing? And let me tell ya a little about Social Security, Medicare, healthcare. We pay for it. They're not free-bees'. Not to mention the Government has stolen 4.6 trillion dollars of our money from Social Security & Medicare. Then they say they're going broke. And if programs like Medicaid aren't the Federal Government's job, what the hell are they doing taxing us to death? It don't cost 3 trillion a year for the Military. The rest was one time damage control.
