We the People

Apparently, "we the people" overwhelmingly desire welfare, social security, drug benefits and all manner of socialist handouts. So by your reasoning, you too are a socialist, since you're one of "we the people".

In reality, there's no such thing as "we the people". There are individuals. Many want the government to act as their agent, stealing resources at gunpoint from other, unwilling individuals. Which is one reason I don't vote: I don't want you pretending that a vote for Bush means I want to take his "prescription butter benefit" up the tailpipe.

If you know of a plan that would eliminate taxes...

You just said, "Since you too are powerless to stop the oppression, you might as well join us in debating whether we'd rather be stabbed or bludgeoned."

Many want the government to act as their agent

Yes b/c they have no vested interest in stopping the government only in enabling..why? b/c they carry none of the burden/have none of the responsibility! Let them carry the load too and then more will care how heavy it becomes.

We are on precipice in this country where very soon the minority will be paying all the taxes and the majority will be receiving handouts and then there will be no turning back.... I never said that we were powerless, but we will be if we don't soon take back our power.

And the anarchy/name calling thing that you have going.....won't work/not helpful.
