I am "working poor", but doing OK.

Should I put my family on as much taxpayer tit as possible, to starve the beast faster?

The beast is already running on fumes. Here in Maine the system is on the verge of collapse. The libtards want even higher taxes but that isn’t happening. Baldy is making cuts as we speak. Very deep cuts. Soon Maine is going to be worse than Europe.

That's the quandary now isn't it?

Doing so goes against your conservative, self reliant principals. But on the other hand, how are the libtards and American Idol viewers going to get the message that government is the problem, not the solution. And then there's the ever escalating part of the equation. How much (time AND money) is it going to take to drown the beast (while in the process feeding and growing it), and then can we recover and roll it back after it's dead when far too many American Idolators have become accustomed to it?

I fear the remedy will be ugly, very ugly. Not saying it doesn't need remedying, just saying no matter how we do it; it's going to get ugly. Cause the STUPID CLASS (rich or poor) just doesn't get it, and will scream bloody murder.

Last year, a very conservative Supervisor in my county saw the writing on the wall. He has advised his extended family to apply for any program for which they qualify. Besides starving the beast, you paid taxes. If you qualify, this is just a tax refund. If it will make it more acceptable for you, donate a portion of what you did not have to spend from your wages to a suitable charity.

I think liberals ought to have to support conservatives. After a suitable period of time, they should also be informed that they are doing so. Maybe after the money runs out and they are trying to hire personal security.
