Look how well THAT has worked for our country.

Don't you guys think that taking your money and giving it to greedy lifetime bureaucrats may not be the wisest move? They already spend more than they take in (most of us would call that irresponsible). And yet with all the money they take in...there are still homeless people, poor people, infrastructure crumbling, etc.

But those lifetime bureaucrats? They don't miss any meals, they live in big nice houses, they get full medical benefits, and they drive nice cars.
And they funnel money to all of their cronies.

I can't believe that anyone would want MORE taxes. Of course the percentage of people in the general population who get govt. money and don't pay much in taxes are all for taxing people more. Doesn't cost them a penny.

But why on Earth would any of you on this forum want that? I can only assume that all of you are professionals who earn money and pay taxes. And I also believe that all of you have eyes to see and aren't blind to the amount of money the govt. takes in via taxation in all forms.
Surely you would rather see govt. spending reform than to give those crooks even MORE of your money wouldn't you?
