We need to stop feeding the beast and take control of the purse strings before it is too late.

And the cow jumped over the moon.

Fine sit back and do nothing and very soon your vote won't matter...they won't need your vote they will only need your tax money in order to vote buy via entitlements.

Soon the minority will be paying all the taxes (the top 50% pay 96% of all income taxes now) and the majority will be getting handouts. Entitlement spending 2006 is 60% of the US budget--there isn't a Congressperson who is going to touch it and as long as the dough keeps rolling in they will continue to vote buy with it.

Republics demand responsibility and morality not only from the elected officials, but from the People as well. Sadly, the more the government hands out 'entitlements' the more apathetic the people become and both fail to fulfill the responsibilities required of a Republic.

But why bother even trying since they already aren't listening, might as well give up...how do you like your socialism?
