No evidence of that. Admitting there's a problem is the first step.
What sets me off is hypocrisy, corruption and waste. And if you cannot see this happening in our government then you are(at this time) a lost cause and part of the problem.
I never said that, did I? Blaming others is another common tactic when avoiding an issue.
I respect the fact that you admit you approve of the way government is operating. At the same time, I wish to encourage you (and anyone else who feels the urge) to pony up your entire salary and assets in leiu of my tax bill.
Heh. That's silly, but I can play the game, too, Stew. I encourage you (and anyone else who feels the same way you do) to REALLY show us the strength and deepness of your so-called convictions by withholding your entire salary and assets subject to taxes until the government's spending habits comport with your notion of appropriateness.
Good luck with that. Now. I'll stop responding to you, as this is quickly going nowhere: you seem to have a strong mistaken notion that we're headed into a financial quagmire--and I don't. Time will tell who is right.
If it'll make you feel better though, send off one more seemingly witty, sure-fire response that'll convince me of your position. I won't respond, and you can believe your retort really GOT ME GOOD.
