Is so, then maybe you should think before you post. People are quick to bitch about paying all of the taxes that we have, and I think they outrageous at times as well, but how else are we going to fund public programs that benefit all, not just the poor? Tell me Mr. Infinitude of wisdom. Are you totally self sufficient? Do you think your life would be better with no public programs?

------- **** up a rope Johnny.
no i do not benifit from the majority of taxes i pay.

our government is NOT SUPPOSED TO FUND PUBLIC PROGRAMS THAT "BENEFIT" all. what don't you ------- understand about that? read the constitution.

YES MY LIFE WOULD BE MUCH BETTER IF I KEPT THE MONEY I EARNED AND THERE WERE NO PUBLIC PROGRAMS.

you have to stop jumping to such ridiculous conclusions. there are certain things that the government is supposed to do. roads, defensive, courts, etc... that is fine.

i want a constitutional government, not a far reaching nanny state government that controls nearly all aspects of your life.

you're typical, just like the rest of the bandwagon idiots, ranting about this or that. but you don't understand freedom or liberty. you only want freedom in the area you think is important.

You are guilty of jumping to conclusions as well.

I can respect this as I do feel the same way even though you probably think differently.

I find this funny coming from someone who was a big supporter of the Patriot Act.

Tell me. What are the solutions to all of our problems. You seem to have all the answers.

i was not a big supporter of the patriot act. i only argued that it wasn't as bad as everything said. and people outside the US don't have US constitutional rights.

what problems do we have that aren't caused by government? everytime the govt "solves" a problem they create 5 more, then they need more money and power to solve those. don't you understand?

all our problems are caused by overreaching anti-american anti-freedom anti-liberty government.

There are a lot of things we could easily do without in the government. Take college loans for example. Do we really need have government loans? No. All it does is create a bureaucracy that needs funding through taxes I don't want to pay. There's plenty of banks available.

The bottom line if there is a need for something people are smart enough to figure out a way to fulfill it. We don't always need the government to hold our hand in everything.

That isn't exactly how I remeber your stance, but I will take your word for it. I am pretty sure that I remember you arguing that if you have nothing to hide, then why does it matter. Sorry, but your own view as of right now doesn't support that line of reasoning. The Patriot Act is an outfight invasion of privacy, that is filled with vague language. Tell me where I am wrong here as I am sure you will.

I do agree that people outside of the U.S. or those who are not U.S. citizens have no constitutionally protected rights.

The vast majority of our problems are blamed on the government, but it is the mindset of the general populace that is to blame in my opinion.

Well put. I can agree to that for the most part.

i don't remember exactly what i've said in every post. but i know that i would not say if you have nothing to hide don't worry about it. that is really an idiotic argument and obviously i would not be for anything like that.

the patriot act is a invasion of privacy. but stealing my money through taxes is just as bad or worse. money is power and the government wants more of it, and never ever will want less.

And you are totally infallible correct?

LMAO.

Whatever man. Although we do not historically get along on here, we do share some common threads.

I am surprised you haven't resorted to calling me a *** guzzling ****** liberal as you have done in the past. Hopefully this is something you have gorwn out of.
