I trust the government as much as I would have trusted the Gestapo.

No. I don’t trust them to and I don’t EXPECT them to.

I trust the government to bleed the American people until all the blacks are whiter than white.

This was mostly an anti-obamma vote and anti-democrat vote I cast, though with the bureaucrats in place, I still do not trust them, even if republicans are in power!

But, but ....I go out and get the best interest on my money I can. The Federal Governemnt is watching, y'see, they want to tax it. Of course, that is about the only way they look out for my 'best interest'.

With the exception of many of the fine folks in the military, the rest of my money is taxed to find new ways to screw me out of what I earn and give it to someone else for coming up with ways to screw me out of my earnings or to make rules to keep me from earning anything.

Do you trust the federal government to...

No. You name it, and the answer is no.

Defend our borders? No.
Balance the budget? No.
Provide equal protection under the law? No.
NOT infringe on our basic human rights? No.
Find their own a$$ with both hands, a flashlight, Google Maps and a GPS system? Absolutely NOT!

Got a javascript error after 2 votes. Unbelieveable that anyone would vote yes.

Had gone up to 96% voting no, but has since dropped back to 95% voting no. Must be the welfare babies voting yes?

Do you trust the federal government to look out for your best interest?

Loving one's country is patriotic, trusting one's government is just plain foolish.

America's Constitution created three branches of government, often referred to as "checks and balances" clearly indicating that government was never intended to trust government.

Regarding the issue of trusting government to work in my best interest brings to mind an email I received this day.

The gist of the email is:

Dear MosesKnows,

At the end of this month, tens of thousands of doctors could start turning away seniors with Medicare.

Congress is voting as early as this week to prevent a drastic cut in Medicare's payment rate to doctors – and Rep. Connolly needs to hear from you.

Send a letter urging Rep. Connolly to make sure seniors continue to have access to their doctors!

If the House doesn't act now, lower rates for Medicare doctors could mean some doctors will refuse to see their Medicare patients.

This threat to seniors' health has gone on far too long.

Now think for a minute, if Congressman Connolly were acting in the best interest of his constituents would he need a letter from me telling him the correct thing to do.

For the record my, Congressman Connolly is a puppet for the Democratic Party possessing no ability to think on his own.
