You know I agree about the govt. being a necessary "evil". We do have to have a way to organize our society.
And I agree that EVERYBODY should pay taxes,...but equally. (income tax, in my opinion is b.s.)
My main problem is this: The govt. spends more money in a day than the biggest companies in the world make in a year. And it's NOT on roads and education and "helping" people.
Billions of dollars are spent on bloated administration jobs and bureaucratic horseshit and paperwork.
More are spent on giving "free" health care to Senators and Congressmen for life.
Untold hundreds of billions are spent on pork barrel projects (congressmen and senators funneling money back to their supporters)
And UNGODLY amounts are spent on wars and a giant military complex that isn't really needed...not to mention the "war on drugs" fiasco.
Nope...if our govt. just did roads and education and "GOOD" things...I would be happy. And we wouldn't be in debt.
But they are such crooks and so busy lining their pockets that it's just totally ludicrous.
And yet somehow...with the govt. completely bankrupt...they still find a way to "investigate" if Roger Clemens used steroids. WTF?!!?!?!
