It's stupid to pay higher taxes when your current taxes are being embezzled. It's stupid to reduce the country to 3rd world status. We have the lowest tax rates in 60+ years, and the biggest deficit. You don't invest in something, it falls apart. Not shocking news, it's pretty much the way things have always worked. You want a great country, you pay for a great country. You want a crappy country, you have really low taxes. You get what you pay for. This is dumbfuck stuff.

For me it's about transparency. It's stupid to pay higher taxes when your current taxes are being embezzled. You knew about every penny Bush wasted, is it asking too much to know where the billions are going being passed out by this administration? I posed this question to Dave on the FAMD thread.............why we want to run the country like you run your states? Most states under conservative control have lousy stats. The ones that do show some economic success like TX and ND are dependent on natural resources for at least part of their success. So why should we want to be like you all?
