@vivify saidHe’ll never go for that, these small government low tax types always insist on other people paying for things that they want or like.
Do you understand how taxes work? Or what pays for police, firefighters, roads, bridges, schools, Medicaid, etc.?
Do you believe this should be stopped so that only people who can afford firefighters and police should receive recieve their services?
The dark irony of a young black guy having to pay taxes to fund the police escapes them.
@kevcvs57 saidwell, I'm a low tax, small government type and what you re saying about us is totally wrong.

I'm the one - the only one, in here that does not like forced taxes just for the above reason. You get to pay for what OTHER people with connections want.
case in point... the US military. People cannot afford health and education options but they can pay for a military that is in 150 nations globally???
sorry dude, I want a small government to eliminate the sheisters and controll mongers that profit from the rest of us,
@earl-of-trumps saidWell then I was clearly not referring to your good self earl. I was referring to the small government large military industrial complex types.

But don’t worry, We still don’t agree, I’m a big government small military industrial complex type.
@vivify saidAll of the services you mention are universal, serving every citizen, it is that simple. (Not medicare, which is for a special group, and is paid in by the insured). These are good examples of what taxes pay for. Taxes should not pay for college tuition, because college tuition is NOT for every citizen. Whew.

I do not believe that these universal services, covering every one of us 300M people, should be stopped. Maybe you are the one who does not know how taxes work?

@kevcvs57 saidHere Kev says that 'young black guys' are not served by the police that you mentioned, when, of course, they are. The hoods would be battlegrounds if there were no police. If there were no police, maybe 10 guys instead of 9 would have been shot in Chicago last week.

Edit: Put me down for REAL small govt, maybe about 6 agencies would do it. You know, FDA, FAA, Military, OSHA, etc. First to go would be Dept of Education, states already handle that. Book learnin' in MS is a bit different than in Utah. A new agency too, that would do away with entitlements...one that would care only for the 40M downtrodden , and that should do it.

@averagejoe1 saidThey are battlegrounds already you right wing fool, plus if they survive that they have to hope the police don’t get them.

@metal-brain saidI never said that Republicans respect democracy anywhere. If they can support their president, then they clearly don't.
Why did Kissinger and Nixon overthrow the democratically elected leader in Chile? If our government does not respect democracy abroad why would they respect it here?
@earl-of-trumps saidYou cannot be more wrong. I work in Federal government, actually an agency, and 99.9% of government employees love this country. We took an oath to defend the Constitution. We work hard because we know our job is an essential one for the American people.

Your characterization of government insults not only me, but the hundreds of thousands of other government employees who take their oath seriously and who work hard for this country every single day.

I am pinpointing lobbyists and deep state, not worker bees,
if this country VOTED on the war with Iraq and Afghanistan, do you think we would have voted to go? hell no, so this is just one example of $$Trillions spent on a cause that to this day is not known to the people who paid for it, the public, and benefitted people other than the public.
common sense, only I am the only one to bring it up in here.
@kevcvs57 saidYou imply that I should not invest? How about the other millions in this country who invest? Surely You do. IRA? Do you think your parents should have no retirement fund? Should I stop putting away nuts for the winter? What is your beef with investing?
Thank heavens I’ll be getting mine gratis and I won’t be kept awake at night worrying about lining Joes pockets.
If no one had invested in Pfizer...........there would be no Pfizer,. So, no vaccine to save Metal Brain. You libs are an angry bunch.
Do you ‘pro large govt’ people think your govt could (or would) have raced to discover a vaccine? Yeah, right. Hey, one good reason to make money (sorry, Suzy) is so that I will have the wherewithal to Be a Socialist instead of living under Socialism.

@averagejoe1 saidNo I’m pretty sure I didn’t imply anything of the sort but I hope you enjoyed your mirror rant, you should try putting some music on and grabbing a hairbrush for a microphone Joe, it always cheers me up.
