My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world. I hope you'll join with me as we try to change it. -- Barack Obama
If I see somebody that needs help, say an elderly neighbor that needs a lawn mowed or a ride to the doctor, and I provide that ride or mow that lawn, that's neighborly.On taxes: "If I am sitting pretty, and you've got a waitress who is making minimum wage plus tips, and I can afford it and she can't—what's the big deal for me to say, 'I'm going to pay a little bit more.' That is neighborliness." —Barack Obama **Because taxes are JUST LIKE tipping the poor.
How is this different than Bush holding a gun to my head and forcing me to pay tax dollars for education, transportation, and any number of other bureaucratic functions that could be more easily and cheaply handled by the private sector? We live under a socialist quasi-democracy as it is, but people only get worked up if somebody from the "opposite party" suggests that we descend further into socialism.However, if I see that same neighbor in need of help and then proceed to go down the street with a gun and force somebody else to pay for the ride or the lawn care, that's socialism.
That's the dang truth.^^^There's no difference whatsoever. The nanny-state grows larger every year regardless of which party is in charge. The only thing that changes is the rate of expansion.
It's a start, but identifying that there is a problem is only the beginning. The next step is doing something about it. Choosing between a Giant Douche and a Turd Sandwich every year is only perpetuating the problem.As a republican, I can say that Bush spent WAY TOO MUCH money for my tastes.
Does that help?
