He never mentioned anyone rich, nor this he mention Republicans or Democrats. Some people just enjoy drama and arguing.

Maybe y'all should move to some remote island without any government.

Hypocrites.
Without capitalism, NONE of those items could be paid for

Who said I was against capitalism? I find it so humorous that I'm being labeled a liberal Democrat when I'm a centrist who wants everyone to pay their fair share of taxes and cut wasteful spending.

My status update even says "anti-extremist."

Its nice that people want to pay more taxes. Thou most of Americas have no idea what they are saying when it comes to taxes on the rich, poor or middle class.
Lets say we just remove the income taxes, make the corporate tax 10% and make a national sales tax 3% and AMENDMENT THE CONSTITUTION REMOVING THE INCOME TAX AND REPLACING 3% sales tax never to be increased and no other taxes, fees, forms of revenue required!
So if you have a state sales tax of 6% your total tax on the item will be 9%
That is all you pay no more taxes, no more FEDERAL gas taxes, sin taxes etc. The states can continue their taxes as they see fit as they currently do. No federal money for coporations, no federal money for anything other then OUR COMMON DEFENSE some highways and bridges, border control, immgration, public health issues and that is about it. Everything else is left to the states.

Problem is people want everything given to them by the government its time to remove the real problem and ask the question should government ever need more money and if so WHY? People have been brainwashed to the society of government and socialist EU. How is that working out in those countries?

Apparently you have said many things that you or others are not aware of. Must be nice to have others speak for you, How does it feel? Do they do dishes as well?

Yeah, I was expecting to see $0s across the board, I was surprised, but still its clear that nobody is making any significant donations.

I was contemplating sending a check for a penny to see if it got cashed...that would probably cost them money too. I'd probably end up on some watch list though.

Here's an idea. Stop trying to force your own values on others. If you think you should pay more taxes then do it and don't expect everyone else to share your opinion.

Funny consider you should have pointed out that I didnt accuse him of saying ANYTHING they said I did.

Can I expect you to come now and do my dishes since it seems you've spoken for me.
