Typical liberal. You label taxes "governmental assets" when the reality is that money is the taxpayers. It is GIVEN to the gov't (in theory). You even try to contort the situation by calling it a "pay out" when a tax cut is simply taking LESS from the citizenry in the first place.
The gov in the US is The People. The people have budgetary needs--bills to pay. The people have a national interest in having those bills paid.
It's no wonder economic imbeciles like Reagan and Bush are elected and re-elected by people like you. In your world, there is no responsibility for debt. So the US ends up living like welfare queens on maxed out credit. NOw is that prudent? Is that wise? Or is that simplistic head-in-the-sand selfishness?
Obama is an outright tax and spend lib. You can bitch about my reasons for thinking that but it is painfully obvious.
Tax and spend v. borrow and spend. Which one costs more? Why it's borrow and spend and that is hallmark of the REagan/Bush model of economics. That's horrible for America.
Freedom is very heavily determined by economics. When socialists (like Obama) want everyone to depend on the gov't for everything and have less and less control over their own money I don't see how you can claim otherwise unless you support the same (which is obvious you do). Conservatism preaches accountability to the tax payer. Our money should be used to support the causes the tax PAYER supports not the causes of the elite who want to dictate where and how our money is spent. People like you only serve to destroy that accountability. If you want to give more of your money to a wasteful and gov't feel free but the whole idea behind a "free" country is that people like you shouldn't be able to pick-pocket the rest of us.
I've never seen a case of projection as bad as yours. The 'elite' you refer to are likely the elected politicians mandated by our constitution comprising a democratic republic...a democratic republic which serves THE PEOPLE. So do you have a problem with America? It sure looks like you do.
Conservatism is not concerned with accountability at all. If by 'conservatism' you mean the last 30 or so years of republican economics. Borrowing and spending the US into debt largely owned by the REd Chinese and Japanese is not responsible. Trickle down economics is a free lunch....if it worked, which it doesn't. If by 'accountability' you mean the politicians's fidelity to their constituency, then you shouldn't be complaining. You got your fucking tax cuts, you got your foreign war expenditures, you got your big business bailouts....what the hell are you complaining about? Just look at what your economic choices have wrought on this country.
And how do you respond to that recipe for failure? Let's do it again with McCain!
