"We, the People" had some say in how our Federal tax dollars are spent."

LOL - no one asked me if I wanted my tax dollars going to AIDS patients in Africa. Do you really believe we have a say in how our tax dollars are spent?

And two wrongs don't make a right—Do you think you have the right to demand that the Federal government spend money on Spanish-language signs—thereby shutting out the opinion of those who dislike that kind of spending—just because you didn't get your way on other money issues?

(Don't get me wrong, I can pick dozens of programs that I'm not happy about the spending on, too. I agree with you wholeheartedly on the AIDS money, and I'm sure I agree with you on countless other issues as well... I just dislike the smug attitude you, and those who agree with you, exhibit towards people who disagree on this particular topic.)
