| Your post is intriguing but I'll stick by what I said. Going by the sheer wastage of funds that occurs I'd still say that we're over-taxed. If the government hadn't given itself such a large margin for error through overtaxation to cover what money is wasted on duplication of programs already being... |

| For economic issues, sure. AFAIC, libertarian socialism is an abomination. You're gonna have to expand on that. You sound like a religious fundamentalist when you dismis something that you don't seem to grasp as an "abomination". Not having read your definition, but previously having look... |

bootlegga bootlegga: Thanos Thanos: Surpluses are a sign of a government that's still taxing too much. I agree that a surplus is a sign of over taxation

He had the option of stepping down and maintaining his credibility in his espoused principles, but he instead chose to remain in power by tabling this massive spending budget. Where is th... |
