[Vision2020] Question, V-Peeps . . .

[deb]

I'm amazed at the idiocy of some of those running for public office.

Of course we pay taxes. It is what supports the USA infrastructure (roads, 
bridges, public buildings). It is what pays the salaries of our elected 
officials (though it isn't who's $$ buys them into office). It is what makes 
all of us who are in the same boat---the United States of America--- able to 
float. It educates our children, cares for our elders, and assists our most 
needy. Those of us who have jobs and income pay a tiny percent of that to 
reap enormous benefits. Those who have no jobs or income gain just enough to 
almost "get by" as an investment each of us makes in the collective whole.

So, you don't like government, and you don't like taxes? Don't whine about 
the condition of the highways, give back your "tainted by socialism" social 
security check, tell your doctor that you refuse to use medicare or 
insurance because it is a socialist system of care, pay 100% of your elderly 
parent's care facility bill, and above all: do not call a cop when your 
house is robbed by a 17 year old who has no education, hope of  a job, food 
for the week, or compassion for those who put him/her in this 
situatuion--the cop is paid for by the taxes you don't want to pay, the 
kid's education was un-funded by your ilk, his mom's food stamps were cut 
off, and the economy/ job prospects won't get better under the "trickle 
down" economics that didn't work for Reagan and won't work now. -----
