Just who the Hell are you talking about, JDN???????

Your fellow AMERICAN CITIZENS?????????

You FELLOW AMERICAN CITIZENS have 'no stake' in the future of their country???????

(Sounds like you are not a big fan of DEMOCRACY).

Maybe YOU'D prefer to live somewhere where a ruling Potentate or unelected Monarch can tax his subjects as much as he wants to, borrow against their future earnings as much as he wants to, run up government deficits in their names and their children's names, and grow as big and intrusive a government as the Monarch wants to... until the whole she-bang collapses under the mountain of debt... but NOT ME!

I'm for small government, low and fair taxes, balanced budgets, individual liberty and Democracy.

Guess maybe you can find some Autocratically-ruled third world nation that's more to your liking... pal-up with the Dictator... and kiss Democracy goodbye for good though....

That's not for me though.
