No - I don't do that to make war on the people across town either. But I also don't have the capacity to gather revenue or the responsibility to ensure that it is well spent that a government does. It is a really poor argument to compare personal finances with the government (or a large business [bought an airliner recently?].) You cannot reduce the com in someone's place. Apparently you can't even imagine the responsibilities of government.
As far as revenue being well spent by our government, are you on crack?
As far as compassion goes, why can't we have the same medical and retirement benefits those in Congress have?

Yes, you should have access to the same plans congress does. Did you let your Representative and Senators know this was how you felt? I did.
(And BTW from another thread here - I thought conservatives supported doing drugs. At least, you parrot the opinions of strung-out drug addicts.)
In any case, I'm done with this thread. I'm tired of poking the bear with a stick. You'll never appreciate my points (or any other liberal) because you lack the capability to feel compassion. I can imagine what is must feel like to be dead inside and it doesn't seem pleasant. Maybe that is why whenever the discussion is going against one of you, you lash out with insults. I truly feel sorry for you.
Originally posted by TerrierJackYes, however, it was only the ones who felt as I did who even bothered to return my letters or answer their phones. The others simply ignored me altogether.

Originally posted by TerrierJackLash out with insults? When have I done that? I was not accusing you of drug abuse, rather, I was merely amazed that you seemed to think that our "represetatives" come close to being fiscally responsible. Oh well, what the hey, lets just roll with it!!
