Kamekazai, if you give money to support the fight, then you support the fight. If you ideologically disagree with the fight, yet still give you are not being honest with yourself. |
So because you pay your taxes, you support Medicare, Social Security, etc.? |
I pay my taxes so I do not get sent to Jail by the IRS. I do not support the government running those programs, and I want them removed from the government budget. But because the programs are there and people "depend" on them I simply will not rip it out from under them. They must be given benchmarks to improve themselves if they can. I don't apply this to handicapped people. Though everyone should give themselves benchmarks to improve themselves in life. Social Security is going backrupt and any attempt to fix it seems to backfire. Medicare is inefficent and the doctors who accept Medicare coverage get pennies on the dollar in payment for their services. I want the government to shrink to the smallest size if a century. But expanding the power and influence of the federal government is the way politicians, on both sides I might add, stay in power. They create more government dependency which keeps people down, since they get free handouts why would they want to give that up? Not everyone currently depending on the government will stay down, but the majority will. When you take incentive to work away, people don't work. Politicans cannot keep their hands out of my wallet, that is why I support the FairTax. |
Right. You pay taxes so you won't go to jail. Meanwhile, you support what you believe to be a better system.
The Democrats fund the troops so they won't die. Meanwhile, they try to pass legislation that will bring them home.
Please explain what is wrong with this analogy. |
The Democrats are trying to cut the funding for the troops. They are trying to force them to come home, not because they truely care about America, but because it is a politically expediant way to push your agenda. This is especially true if you have control of the Media. It isn't working for them because of the New Media.
If we were to bring home the troops, the terrorists would be able to attack us, US, on our own soil AGAIN! I am saying that they are over there to prevent the loss of American life within our own borders due to Islamic Terrorist attacks. Some people will die in a war, as regretable as that is. If you cannot stomach that, then look away when real leaders lead us through a war that was declared upon us.
Not only that but I do not want the deaths of millions of people to be laid at the feet of America because we didn't finish what we started. I would not be able to stomach that.
