PS...how much money have you donated to the Treasury to support your pet causes?
We all pay our taxes just like You do, those taxes pay for the programs I want them spent on and others You want them spend on and I don't. So have you sent your donation to keep supporting NASCAR yet?

I suspect none of you have the fortitude to step up to the plate and literally put your money where your mouth is.

Liberals will never give a penny more to the government than they have to. The increased tax payments and federal revenues are for OTHER PEOPLE, NOT THEM. The "job" of the liberal is to express false sympathy and do nothing about the problem.

I think all liberals need to be kept reminded of this. They are free to pay whatever additional taxes they think should be paid.

I wonder if there is even one liberal who has submitted this voluntary tax.

You're absolutely right. Although they will never heed the call, they surely need to be shown the hypocrisy of their ways.

Don't many conservatives feel that almost the majority of people don't pay enough taxes? If that's the case, shouldn't this be directed towards conservative as well.

Nice faulty premise ya got there.

No, liberals DO NOT want more revenues to waste as you allege.

And before you accuse liberals how about explaining why star conservative John Boehner sought to keep a wasteful jet engine program even the Penntagon didn't want? A little too much truth for your biased whine? Or explain why so many who whine about government spending are happy to accept jobs with civilian government contractors and happily suck at the government teat?

The fact is everyone's all for cutting spending except when it's spending that benefits themselves, on both sides of the aisle.

Sure, there's plenty of waste. Unfortunately for you, conservatives aren't asking for more taxes to pay for it. Conservatives are asking for a balanced budget through spending cuts.

Liberals are the entities who would rather preserve excessive spending (and waste) by advocating for higher taxes. This is your opportunity to provide as much money as you want to go to the government to put towards your pet projects. Whether or not they actually use it for your pet project is the root of the problem, but yet you folks can't see that. All you see is that you want the government to have more money.

Does it get any more ignorant?

So long as we don't cut NASCAR funding or any other rightie pet projects. Yes, people would have to be ignorant to buy into Partison spending cuts.
