Everything Ted Kennedy Espoused Would Come At Taxpayer Expense.


It's ( Ted's passing ) tough for some and not so tough for others.

He was a champion in some people's minds.

A career politician.



Now can we put wind towers in Cape Cod?

Everything the government has done, is doing, or ever will do has to be at taxpayer expense.

The government has no money of its own, and levies taxes for its operation.

How does that fact make Ted Kennedy any different than Orrin Hatch or John McCain?

Because Ted Kennedy was a Democrat and "liberal", and thus "evil" and everything he touched turned to sh*t (according to those who hate him and his family). That's the only explanation that makes sense.

So long as the taxes are extracted from the top of the ownership/capitalist/business classes I have no problem with paying for a socialist state with government taxes. I will never be one of the Elected of Mammon and I just as soon take my money back from the theives that are. Think 1950's income tax rates. It worked then and it should work now.
