<<.. I understand your identification with your government but don't impose your views on others, because it just isn't there. >> But we all live here....Who they gonna identify with? ..Since you haven't said we don't need a government and it needs money to run it seems we should all pay what we can. Give to all the charities you want but since you are accepting what the government offers you auta help pay. <<Who is the big beneficiary of the current system, guys with coin [me] or average folk? >> Average folk get much more for their money from the government than successful Americans who pay their own way. I don't buy the little guy always gets screwed routine. The opportunities are for the average joe. I wuz as poor as any of your pals. And don't lay your "patrotic" line on me .That has nothing to do with anything. We are all here and hafta make the best of it.Income redistribution ain't the way. <<Debate what??? You have a mindset that I disagree with. Do you think there is a 'correct' answer?>> We are posting to one another. We are attempting to make the other see our point of view. I only ask for honest give and take .. << For me to give a rats ass about 90% of what goes on in Washington is simply ineffective>> Well if you think that way you make it so by default. Acting as a a unit millions of Americans can and do make a difference. <<The US of A is not my world... my world is where I am. >> You are living here thus I find it hard not to believe that it is at least part of your world. <<Contribute to what... a dark shit hole no one even gives a rats ass about? >> You're here! You had better make the best of it.It's burying your head in the sand if you think it can't be worse. Aprox six billion people can attest to that. <sigh> But I understand you more than you think as I have participated in this debate from your side of the fence when a much younger man.
