    "Now the main reason why I put this up is because I have always been curious why a significant number of Americans I have met are anti government (anti taxes as one example) but pro military (US of course ). Now the reason why I say this is because I don't understand how one can have a large military without taxes paying for it. "

    quite simply. We force adults to act like adults. If you don't work, you don't eat. There are two needs for social welfare: the case of children and the case of the severarly handicapped. That's it. Everyone else can live, or die, on their own merits as a functioning, adult, human being. We are weakening our species by dragging ourselves down to the level of our weakest members. If you are too lazy to work, you need to starve. Your influance upon future generations needs to be mitigated.

        Two things got me thinking.

        1. Why americans, who are in favor of a simple, fair, non-progressive system of taxation, would be considered anti-government.

        2. This tax/military angle. Don't get it. I am wondering what our military budget looks like compared to: tax spending of our entire nation as a whole. To me, you can't just look at federal dollars. Your state collects a bunch of dollars from you too, with income taxes, property taxes, etc. Even down to your local city taxes. To just hold up a federal pie chart and say "this is where your tax money goes" is not the entire picture.

              Bravo! BRAVO!!!! Keep voting in the Libs and see how much MORE of your money goes to paying for the poor and others less fortunate. They will find or construe more "programs" to dispense YOUR money to others that dont have any. When is someone going to give ME something? I have been paying out my arse for 40 years only to see them building a new Hockey rink in the middle of the ghetto. Just what they need....

                I'd propose to amend that "Libs" to "fiscal idiots" as I believe it transcends party lines, and is more appropriate.
