I discovered recently that my tax dollars go to local infrastructure like new roads and stuff. What a load of crap. I don't own a car. Why must I pay for this sort of thing? I mean shit, talk about socialism.

i don't get the point of this thread.

Abortions too. The government better not include abortions in the health care reform package. My tax dollars shouldn't support anything I think is wrong or won't use.

I think we need to have a national debate about the goverment's wrongheaded use of our tax dollars. We should be able to choose where we want our tax dollars going, I say.

its either about how there is no god

or

how people do not think they should be taxed to pay for others health care


which to answer the first stupid point he brings up. fine, you dont own a car, then i assume you can fly to where ever you need to be and have no need to use roads of any sort

But why should I have to pay for something I don't use?

so you fly?

Well...maybe you use other services more than other people, therefore it evens out

I'm even OK with the current plan for health care reform as long my tax dollars don't go to any procedures I don't think ought to be performed. I propose the plan include some sort of direct democracy voting policy on health care procedures.

what happened to your avatar...did someone shoot a hole through your head??

Ahh... our young hero is engaging in a bit of Socratic irony.
With each new thread his genius is slowly revealed.

Well played.

I was shot in the head by an assassin. I wanted to get care but I was told to go in front of one of Obama's death panels. The 6-month wait for the hearing made the wound much worse, and then I got denied care by the death panel. I'm in my last days now, friend.

damn That death pannel is a tough crowd

is this thread secular?

This country was founded on Judeo-Christian ideals.

I like it when the government uses my tax dollars to bail out multibillionaire bankers.

I don't.

i like it when politicians promise to spend money on different interest groups above and beyond any level that even approaches feasibility in order to secure re-election.

I don't.

i like it when politicians tell me they know what's best for me. you know, like having some "skin in the game."
