I believe it has been answered many times

we (the people) dont mind paying taxes

we dont mind paying for the military

we should NOT have an economy that is being killed by the welfare state though

Oh you're a modern day Thomas Paine aren't you?...LOL

Let me remind you. ...Ralph Nadar in the last election obtained more votes than the Libertarian and Constitution parties COMBINED!

So be careful when you use the word "WE".....

You are likely talking about 10,000 middle-aged, pot bellied, white, male libertarian conspiracy theorists across the Nation who think the only Government role is self defense....LOL

then let me rephrase

I dont mind paying taxes for the military
I dont mind giving a helping hand through taxes for the poor
I dont mind paying local and state taxes for police/fire/schools
I dont mind suplementeling pensions for the elderly in ss
I dont mind paying taxes for medical for the elderly

I do mind giving ss benefits to people that have not worked or paid into the system
I do mind paying welfare/mediciad when they are not WILLING to gget ajob if ablebodied

get the point

we have become a welfare state that people think they are ENTITLED to the government giving them everything on the backs of the actual workers (the taxpayers)
