No one - not even the demon-rats have minded the IRS having their computers, eyballs, and hands in our pockets for years on end,

I mind.

I mind.

Well, I mind too! I should have made clear that this statement meant the "politicos", those who believe they have power over "we the people".

It seems that politicians (or very few of them) really know that the people have the power. I dont mind paying taxes for homeland security. I dont mind paying social security taxes either, but "We the People" should not be FORCED to pay anything else.

My point was, we can gripe about homeland security and it's costs, but few of us will stand up to all the "special interests" that our tax dollars go to!

Homeland security, whether or not the bugs are yet worked out, is a good investment of our tax dollars, if we want to gripe about something, gripe about welfare for able-bodied people, gripe about the sad state that education is in, gripe about tax dollars to "the arts" (Christ in urine), there are too many taxes to be outraged about - Homeland Security IS NOT one of them!
