Later I was planning on passing out contraceptive materials to unmarried women. If there was still time, I was going to buy some spotted owls and throw them in front of tractors.

Your welcome.
Wow, you're energetic. I just signed mine over to George Soros in return for a seat on a Death Panel. Not that I'm going to show up, that's almost like work - I'll send the cat.

The problem is that there are only two parties in the US.

One believes that the government is intrinsically inefficient, the free market is always the answer and, based on these 19th century theories that the vast majority of mainstream economists reject, try their best to destroy the government whenever an opportunity arises. Except for the military and corporate welfare. This party is completely driven by ideologies, and their positions are often self-contradictory and paradoxical.

The other has to struggle to save even basic things like Medicare and Social Security from the claws of the other party.

There is no third party nor bipartisan effort whose objective is FIXING the government. That's what parties in other developed countries, regardless of ideology, try to do.

-The Defense budget is too high!
(D) Let's try cutting it by-
(R) YOU'RE PUTTING OUR NATIONAL SECURITY IN DANGER!

-Medicare spending is getting out of control
(D) Let's try to refor-
(R) PRIVATIZE! VOUCHERS! FREE MARKET!

-The rich are paying less taxes than the middle class
(D) Let's try to set a minim-
(R) CLASS WARFARE! DON'T TOUCH THE JOB CREATORS!

And will you stop whining about "high" taxes?

They don't know what the Federal Register is, Dale. They all just looked at you cross-eyed when they read your post.

You can bet your britches that we ducked and weaved and shielded in every manner possible this tax season, just as we do every tax season, just as I expect you do, as well, every tax season.

Staying right here and trying to fix it.I lived on 11,000 year and still paid over a grand in taxes for the non working leeches. They live better than me and always will as I don't leech off my neighbors. Guess you think I am the 1% too. Us working folk are hurting way worse than the welfare folk.Their checks are always there and on time while we starve to pay for it
