Then you took a government subsidy for your kids. I don't care if you 'need every penny,' so does everyone else. That you think you need it more don't mean squat, Pharisee. The welfare queens think they need it more, too.
Did you take free schooling for them?"No. With the exception of public school, I've paid for day care and pre-K when I needed it without using any government program. And we do not participate in the free lunch program either."
Oh, good answer...as if in saying no you completely negate the fact that you ARE taking free schooling. That you paid for day care and pre-K and lunch just means you're carrying the load you ought to be carrying. Meanwhile, you gleefully send your kids to school on the taxpayer's dime.
"Nope. I go to the second-hand bookstore to purchase books for my kids. And don't folks without kids go to the library too? What a stupid point."
When someone like you is oblivious to the fact that libraries and public schools are primarily handouts to families, I suppose everything that might inundate your sanctimonious claim to be "not signed up with any kind of government assistance" is 'stupid.' You cash a check every day, just as Uncle Sam steals from our paychecks every day to support you and yours.
My kids go to our private community park which is maintained through association fees since it is not county-owned.
But I bet your 'private community park' is there because parks aren't taxed, even though they are a benefit to only neighborhood families. They tax lands used in exactly the same way on private lands, but government has been pressured by developers to give them credits for setting aside faux "parkland," another subsidy for development that will primarily benefit who? Families like yours.
And once again, childless people use those parks too.
Yep, I bet lots of children use those parks every day, and almost none of them have kids. But to make your anecdotal observation more obvious--I bet there are probably ten or fifteen people that use the high school football field for non-athletic events every year. That doesn't mean the public should be subsidizing high school football fields.
"How about I take it to the next level and tell you that you are a jerk who should have stayed in exile. OH! By the way, how does it feel to support a party that never ever wins? Seems like it's made you a wee lil' bit bitter. Walk a mile in my shoes before you start talking. You have proven yourself to be an ignorant fool."
Ooooh, I'll cry myself to sleep over that. When you can't defend your chompin' at the gummint tit, you pull out the childish insults. The only demonstration in ignorance here is 'stupid' l'il you. Families are subsidized in myriad ways, as was the point above. And your holier-than-thou comments to GuvShrinker notwithstanding, you ARE signed up with government assistance. You're just unhappy about not being able to get more by keeping even more of your money. And you're even unhappier when you get called on it. Typical pro-government "conservative"--you're just for the stuff that benefits you.
And one more thing--I support the ideals of the LP in a lot of ways. But I've always voted GOP. It's people like YOU that make it more likely that a pork-loving GOP Congress will get elected. That makes it ever more likely that Americans will vote differently next time, and then your glee at watching libertarians and fiscal conservatives unhappy at the huge imposition of government into American lives and failure of the GOP to do squat about it, will be followed by your own presence in the barrel--you big-government 'conservatives' wail and gnash your teeth, too, when you're taxed at ever higher levels for government you don't like.
Wow. Took you a whole day and a half to think up that response that was more insults than debate.
In the five and a half years that I have been a member of this forum, I've never encountered the level of rudeness and disrespect that I have seen lately. And you simply exemplify it.
Don't post to me anymore. You're simply not worth the time.
Have a nice "government-free" life.
If you take your comments to their extreme, YOU are a 'welfare queen' too, if you use any government services.
There, how do you like it?
