We had balanced budgets under President Clinton. Such lies are evidence of the pollution taught in public schools to an entire generation of drones.

Yeah -- I know -- when someone isn't taxed -- they are "getting money" from the government. <g> The problem I have with that line is -- [I'm not a big fan of bankers -- by the way] -- take it to it's logical conclusion -- anything anyone makes -- is a gift to them from the government just because it didn't get extracted from them by the government. Arguing about the correct tax rate -- while the SOBs in power have the power AT ALL to spend more than comes in for a given year -- is just masturbation. If the argument makes you feel good for a little while ... fine. Government OUGHT NOT TO BE ALLOWED TO SPEND MORE THAN TAX REVENUES IN ANY GIVEN YEAR -- PERIOD. Until that is fixed -- arguing about who is taxed at what rate -- is simply arguing over scraps that are leftover after the thieves in Washington get done raping who they have raped -- which is everyone to some degree!!
