I Dnt owe the nanny state anything. My taxes paid me up in full. Now those who dont pay taxes or get back more than they pay in? Yeah I'll agree they owe.
If you want to live in the nanny state you most certainly do owe. But hey, no one's keeping you in America.

Taxes aren't covering the roads and our infrastructure, they're in shambles. And our military, SS, and healthcare is what is draining our money.

I don't owe more. Wounded 3 times in combat in the service of my nation I call it even. I dont ask for more, I damn sure dont owe more. Did Obama serve? Did he wear a uniform? Make the sacrifice? NO thats right he says those who do are society's misfits.
But hey since you have this sense of debt feel free to donate extra and decline your tax returns. I am sure Obuma does.
Oh you think you are entitled?

The funny thing is until this latest gaff of his I wasn't all that anti Obama. In fact I would say neutral.
Between his gaffs and his lame campaign ads I find for the first time in my life unable to find anything respectable about my president. Now that is what really makes me sad.
I call BS. "Obumacrats" Oh yes I can tell you were perfectly rational at one point....

Ahh, so you admit it was a gaff.

Were you paid for that service to your country? You hired on to do a job and got your paycheck in return. Your service is not a golden ticket for a free ride the rest of your life.

When you head out on that road you are using a road someone else built.

We warm ourselves at fires we did not build, we shelter ourselves under trees we did not plant, we drink from wells we did not dig, and we build upon foundations others built before us.

No I never collected unemployment. What free ride to you talk about? I have not stopped paying taxes. Someone else built dick. Tax dollars built it meaning not free. meaning my current, future and past tax dollars. No debt is owed.

Call BS all you want read my posts of the past. I actually defended obama as often as I disagreed. The title Obumacrats fits because the dems absolutely refuse to take their man to task.

First, Mr Obama needs to understand that the government "Has NO money of it's own." Money in one way or another comes from business. Business either through it's own payment of tax or it's employees gave the money to the government to pay for the roads. Business in one way or another pays for all the activities of government. Government over the last century has decided that there is no limit to what it can spend and place on the backs of business and employees. The concept that government has paid for ANYTHING is laughable.

This has nothing to do with what I've said.

If you dig into Soviet economic system, you'll see clearly that it was capitalist - just a bit different from normal capitalism.

I would say our little brainwashed Russian friend here is capable of seeing Obummer as what he is. He would make a better President for USSR.
Thanks a lot, but keep your chocolate turn-coat yourself I don't believe in words - otherwise I'd praise Putin, who sounds better than Obama, despite being a conservative.
