Great, well tell me where I get to sign up to be taken off the 'take from' list that then goes to others and all those programs I don't use? Included in that is me paying an insurance rate whose money then goes to cover the cost of other people that use it more. I want to opt out of the triple taxation for roads too while I'm thinking about it. It sucks that federal and state taxes go towards roads, both of which I pay and then I have to turn around and pay a toll fare too in some places. Add in opting out of paying for Bridges to Nowhere.

That is how it should have been posted instead of the name calling.
Have you been just as upset this last 8 yrs of taking from the middle class and giving to the wealthy? I didn't hear that.

Oh, delusianne, I know we are on the same page. I was just using your statement as a hook to hang my hat on. I'm sorry if it came off differently.

Sure, and picking Palin was a smart move.

O M G - it IS copied and pasted, and AGAIN without attribution.

What the hell is wrong with you anyway?

(Let them do, that should be the motto of every public authority, according to which the world is civilized..... A detestable principle that which would not wish us to grow except by lowering our neighbors! There is nothing but mischief and malignity of heart in those satisfied with that principle, and interest is opposed to it. Let them do, damn it! Let them do!)
