Let's start with the tax break, GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY WALLET! Clear enough? Tax breaks are a good thing,especially when they cover the entire spectrum, they put more money in people's pockets, and less in the governments.


I don't really see the connection between complaining about the government sticking it's nose into the banking industry, and the government sticking it's nose into the healthcare industry, and not being creadible because you are consistant. EVERYTHING the government gets involved in is a screw up, you know why? Because our country is run by Lawyers, Lawyers, are trained to victomize everybody, that's how they get their money, after all, you can't go to court without a victom. So, they don't really come up with worthwhile solutions, they come up with ideas to get themselves elected again. I would LOVE to see term limits on every single bastard in government!




On a side note, since countries aren't businesses, no money is going "to government pockets", despite this being popular term among the press. What governments are supposed to do, is to spend the money it collects in taxes, in full, usually to peoples good. You can always argue whether it's going to the correct place, but you get what you vote for. Government and people aren't separate instances.

If the USA had more than two big parties, then this statement would be full of win. But seeing as it only has the choice of two, let's face it, shit parties then the people have no real decision on where the money is going because they have the choice between ultra conservative spending and liberal pro-nationalism spending... Not much of a middle road.

Things are a bit different in Britain, much more a choice. Three or four large parties like in Britain will benefit the USA.

But in principle I agree with you statement about taxes, I'm just going wayyy off topic lol
