I want my tax money to go to social projects like our light rail system to be expanded, Pennsylvania's old bridges to be repaired, and other projects. This in return would provide many jobs for the vets coming home.
Why do you think your money will go to the welfare mother? Are you not aware of the limits to receiving aid in most states?
I don't want my tax dollars to fund the illegal invasion of foreign countries. I don't want my tax dollars to be given to large corporations in place of helping Vets receive the proper care they need when they come home.
I agree with those things too. In short, I believe the smaller our government, the less issues we'll all have over how Uncle Sam (mis)spends our money. Of course the government needs money to run. But at a federal level, it should not need to be very large. States should handle much of what Obama is proposing be handled by the feds.
I don't want the government to decide that my contributions to my 401k are now taxable. I don't want the government to impose restrictions that will likely result in my employer not matching my contributions. I don't want to be forced to contribute to yet another version of Social Security.
Is this making any more sense than the welfare mother analogy?
The more government gets involved, the more likely the case for fraud and corruption.
Let me balance my own checkbook. I don't need Daddy Obama and Auntie Nancy to do it for me.

Okay, so vote for the person who promises to deliver what you want delivered.
Simple.
lol, the anti-Obama crowd is easily owned when confronted about facts and not stupid campaign mottos.
Tell me about it. Have you noticed I asked in about 4 post if Obama was going to take over all the entreprises in America when he is in office and none would answer it. LOL. They have no idea about anything they spew.

Yes it actually does make more sense and I can respect that. I'm surprised you aren't concerned about McCain taxing your health benefits though. I honestly think smaller government is a thing of the past, neither side represents that anymore. The republicans will spend as much money, it's just a matter of where it goes really.

I agree with you also. But the republican party that use to stand for this is completely opposite now of everything you said. The new republican party is about nothing but big government, fraud, and corruption, and big bussiness.

Scarlet, I'm not nuts about that idea either. I just have to weigh all the issues as well as who these men are going to appoint to cabinet posts, who is running Congress (a madwoman who under Obama will have much more influence than she will under McCain)and who they might appoint to the Supreme Court--justices who think they can enact legislation, not interpret the law. That's how I reached my decision. I'm amazed how many people have felt the need to personally attack me for my beliefs when I've not stooped to that once.
Smaller government doesn't have to be a thing of the past if we, the people, elect representatives who work to bring that back.
