I’m not married, either.
I am against government schools, so that takes care of the business about paying for other people’s children’s education.
You say that, because you get to vote, you have a say in how “your money” is disbursed. So you’re saying you votef YES on giving Solyndra $500 million? You voted YES on the Chrysler/GM bailout? You voted YES on giving Obama’s union cronies several trillions?
No, I'm saying none of those things, in fact, they'd be pretty silly things to say, wouldn't they? I find it irritating when my point is deliberately misrepresented like that. You can't be seriously suggesting that to vote is to provide blanket approval for the winning side's government policy even if you vote against it, can you?
Yes, a vote is a citizen's voice. It does not mean that the election will go his way. It does not mean that the resulting government will behave either as he wants or as they promise they will. But he does have a say. And I would lay, and have laid, my life on the line to hold and protect that right, and I would be cross to the point of physical violence with anyone who tried to take it away.
And so would you. Admit it. :-)
