Here's what you don't get: Your government, through its massive deficits and massive [future] tax increases is sucking the life blood out of our own economy, and the future for your children and theirs -- it is already bleak. If this isn't stopped, it only gets worse from here. It is beyond me how you (or anyone) can't see this. But you can't, you refuse to.<<

Koan: First Denmark and Sweden function better than we do in every way imaginable way and have a much larger welfare state.

And Bush doubled the deficit from 5 to 10 trillion in his 8 years and got us in debt to China for 2 trillion. And he has nothing to show for it but a world financial calamity. Both 9/11 and the economic crash happened while HE was president.

Does that upset you?

But here is what you do not seem to understand. When you refer to "the government" if you are living in a dictatorship or monarchy, then you can bitch about what the govenrment does. But when you live in a democaracy, you and I are the govenrnment. We can vote out every single person in the house next year if we do not like what they are doing.

You do not recognize the rights and responsibilities of our society. And you confuse freedom with anarchy; and economic systems with political systems.
