Left wing code phrases, as they say in media politics. ANSWATEN: 1) Government debt cannot and should not be paid off. That's ruinous folly. It must be outgrown. 2) Absolutely, and liberals who fight tooth and nail against vouchers should be stood against a wall. 3) They can't possibly, if you tax them to death, in the name of "perscription drugs for seniors" and the "saving" of the Social Security fraud. It's their money, not yours. 4) Only liberals, through their stale Marxist/Leninist rhetoric, do that. That freedom works is a natural law, not subject to appeal. The war with the American left is about the preservation of it...

res-Do you believe the country should accumulate an ever-increasing debt for our children to deal with? No I don't. That's why I believe we should cut spending. I also believe we should pass a balanced budget amendment to the constitution. Unfortunately, liberal Democrats in congress have been fighting tooth and nail for years against the idea. Do you believe people who can't afford a decent education should be deprived of getting one? No I don't. But why should the government force parents to send their children to failing schools. Not educating them, and sending them to failing schools is roughly equal in my eyes. Why do Democrats want to keep poor inner city children in failing schools where the drop-out rate, and illiteracy rate is abominable? Do you believe people should take responsibility for their share of the burden of running and defending the country? Absolutely, it's one of the main reasons I support a national sales tax. Everyone shares in the responsbility proportional to their spending habits. Do you believe you should be able to push your waste off on others with impunity? Not sure what you're talking about here. Freedom _does_ work, but we nonetheless have to work together on some things. That's why we have government. Samual Adams said it nicely in this quote: "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen".
