I'm not sure where you are coming from? Do you imagine that only people who pay cash money to the government get to be patriotic?

Did I ever say that?

When did I say that?

Never.

Where are you "coming from" on this? It seems to me from your posts that there is very little daylight between you, Obama, Reid, and Pelosi in terms of Food Stamps and Entitlements that have bankrupted our nation.

So, tell me how food stamps have bankrupt the nation ~ and how do "entitlements" do that ~ perhaps Social Security provides entirely too great a temptation to the government to just take the income from FICA and spend it on frivolous stuff (like Amtrak)

I suspect you are most POd about EITC ~ which is a $50 billion program. With a nearly $2 trillion excess spending gap to be filled, that is 0.25%, 1/4 of 1% of the gap.

Here, let's take it slow ~ when your tax needs are so great that if you TAXED everything away from every wage earner, whether poor, medium or huge, or super rich ~ 100% taxation ~ and you still don't have enough money to pay the obligations, it's not people earning a living, or even the poor, who are causing your problems.

It's a SPENDING PROBLEM, and not even a SPENDING ON ENTITLEMENTS PROBLEM, but just Wildassed stupid nonstop monstrous spending.

You cannot win the game by just clamping down on SSS, SS, EITC and food stamps.

You said people who don't pay income taxes "have no skin in the game" and that's just MONSTROUS BS and it comes from the Great Satan himself, Barack Hussein Obama!

IGNORE WHAT HE SAYS.
