Forgot the Barf Alert.
we need to examine what that world without government would look like. Do we want to live in a country without a legal system, without a military, without free education, without safety net programs? Is this the future most Americans actually want for their country?
Umm, has anyone other than radical libertarians proposed going this far? What a hysterical exageration.

It is our taxes that pay for these services, so Bush's two big tax cuts for the wealthy will, eventually, result in a cut in the services that all Americans depend on everyday, unless the tax cuts are repealed.When Babs performed concerts, how did she set ticket prices??? Would increasing ticket prices ALWAYS raise more money? Would $10,000,000 per ticket raise 1,000,000 times more money than $10 per ticket? Just curious???

Do we want to live in a country without a legal system, without a military, without free education, without safety net programs?You know what would be really cool...Some kind of document (we could call it, for instance, a "Constitution") that said exactly what we wanted the government to do and no more. I'm just dreaming, I guess.....
To: presidio9
Gee, Babs, I'm pretty sure that wasn't the government I saw working outside my house at 0300 the other night. I belive that was a lineman from The Big Bad Power Company spending time away from his family to help us get power back after a week without.
I'm risking a censure from the admin moderator, but... what a bitch!

What is "Big Government?" The one that takes over half my income. That one.

Do we want to live in a country without a... free education, without safety net programs? "If you had two candidates for office, one running on the programs of Stalin and the other running on the programs of Jefferson the American people would probably vote for the candidate who represented the programs of Stalin. If you didn't put the name on it and just looked at the programs, they would say, Oh yeah, we believe in national health care and we believe in free education for everybody and we believe we should have gun control."
- Congressman Ron Paul paraphrasing Walter Williams

We also have to understand the connection between taxes and spending. It is our taxes that pay for these services, so Bush's two big tax cuts for the wealthy will, eventually, result in a cut in the services that all Americans depend on everyday...I always knew that this was the hope of the Hollywood Left, that everybody but them would be hooked on entitlements, but I never thought they were so delusional as to think it already a reality.

Yeah, Babsie! Keep it up. You and Monica Lewinsky have something in common: your big mouth with a deep throat that encompassed Bubba Clintoon with Hitlery's blessings.

From "No other God's before Me," to worship at the altar of government. The lack of faith in people's industry in solving their own problems.

You are dreaming. They would screw it up by including words like "promote the general welfare" which would give Big Government the impetus to do Everything, and include the power to "regulate commerce ... among the several states" which the aforesaid Big Government wuld declare then gave them the power to do Everything.

without free educationFree?! Just what is the "cost" of this "free" education. I hear most states spend about $9-10K per child per year.
Where does this money come from?
mow-ron.
To: banjo joe
No kidding. Got my tax bill yesterday. Between the schools and the welfare hospital, it was not free.
