Who?Me?! :Black/Blue Mimi: Red



WHO need money for these things!
End all taxes!


And volunteers will step up and do the work for FREE!

One volunteer cop per city...who needs more than that? Don't need no damn forensics, labs, detectives...!!! No conservative advocates eliminating police and firefighters.


But they don't want to pay taxes....so volunteers is the answer?



Fire fighters ...hire your own ya whiney babies! And then TRUST that they MIGHT know what they're doing


Food safety...hey ya lazy slobs, inspect your own damn food! Or take a chance your kids will die from what they eat...who cares as long as you don't pay taxes!???They're doing such a great job right now, aren't they? The free market will get rid of food handlers/producers that produce subpar food.""



WHEN? Before or after some people die from bad food????


Would you buy from a company that specializes in E Coli? Why does the government have to tell you what's safe? Take care of your own health, why do you need a babysitter?



So I can borrow all your lab equipment that YOU test and analyze your food with??? Gee, Thanks, I'll bring all my friends every day to test our food.








Consumer safety...ignore it, it's expensive! Throw those kids into the care and forget those seat belts...Lead on their toys...tell 'em to toughen up and chew! See above.

See above.


And all those "OHMYGAWDIHATESUPPORTINGMYCOUNTRY" repugs can take a plane to the Middle East and fight for our country themselves!I fail to see why we are spending any money fighting in the ME. We are NOT fighting for 'our country'. Close our borders and bring the troops home if you want to keep our country safe.


FACT: WE ARE spending trillions in the ME! It's a FACT...failing to see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.



And back home VOLUNTEER repugs will take care of the court system, the national parks, build and maintain freeways and roads, ...AND work a job to pay the bills!States should take care of their own roads. We pay state taxes.



Ya DUH! And the less Federal taxes we pay the MORE STATE TAXES WE WILL PAY!!!!!!!!!!!!




With all the money we save from fighting stupid wars, we can have all the federal parks you want.





Dream, dream, dream, IF IF IF .....go live on dreams and "IFS"...it won't change a thing.



Time to build a school...call them Repug volutnteers to donate time and building material.....
while they're not busy plowing and sanding freeways and roads in the winter...THINK LOCAL. The feds should not be involved in our schools.""


So I will pay more in STATE TAXES.



In fact, there should be more vouchers so that PARENTS can be in charge of their kids' education.

Car/boat/trailer licenses and marriage licenses of course will be free because THOSE are really TAXES! And there might not be enough volunteers to handle the paper work anyway! Or public buildings to house the one desk and one computer.The government has no business controlling marriage- of ANY sexual preference."

The local governments should take care of local issues.

...by raising taxes that no longer come from the Federal government...



Such easy solutions !!!!!

There was some proposals in the past, that the government would sell the roads off to investors, for cash up front, the revenue from these roads would go to the investors, and the government would be responsible for maintenance..

Dont know if thats the case in this situation, because I havent heard of one of them being done, just that there were proposals made. The PA turnpike is one such example.

And yes I am a Christian and I do know what I'm talking about.

After the dems bankrupt us will we have money to do ANYTHING?

WRT the OP: No, sadly everything always gets worse under Republicans because more then any other party they're owned lock, stock, and barrel by special interests and they're not afraid to lie, cheat, and steal because they have no shame. Democrats are pretty bad themselves but the GOP takes it to a whole other level of corruption and abuse.

Such simplistic histrionics. No one likes to pay taxes, but we don't have a choice for many things. Yes, state and local taxes will probably increase...but they would REPLACE the heavy FEDERAL taxes we currently pay for things fromwhich we derive no benefit. If we pay more state and local taxes we KNOW who is spending the money and on WHAT. We can hold them more accountable than the pinheads in DC. THINK outside the box and stop drinking the socialist koolaid.

^^^What federal taxes are you paying now for your local streets and roads, schools, firefighters and so forth? You might want to research before you answer.
