You are right, Cookie, We do have one party who does all they can to isolate Americans from actual pain and sacrifice. Remember the Republican president’s solution to 9/11? “Go shopping”. Remember how we paid for the the 2 wars started by the Republican President? By cutting taxes. How did that work out for us?

cookie65, we have two political parties who exercise the article 1 section 8 taxation authority vested in Congress to promote their own visions of what government should and should not do. if you take issue with article 1 section 8 taxation powers then I suggest you lobby Congressman McClintock or whomever your representative might be to introduce legislation to amend the constitution accordingly. In the meantime the use of “other people’s money” is what the founders intended, otherwise they would not have extended the power of taxation to Congress. personally, I would love to see corporations like Blackwater, Halliburton, Raytheon and others stop relying on other people’s money (our tax dollars) for their profits. Let’s stop the flow of billions of tax dollars to those companies and others like them. Then we can talk about the tax dollars spent on a single mother trying to feed her children.

Emotions are like money. When they are your master life is misery. When they are your slave life is great.

We have a political party in this country who have spent upwards of $15 trillion of other peoples money to prevent people from experiencing the discomfort and even pain caused as a result of thier poor decisions. To top that off they perpetually tell them they are victims. They seperate people into tiny groups and then pit them against one another in order to advance their power. The fill kids up with phony feel good self esteem that leaves them crashing down when the real world slaps them in the face. It is no where near as complicated as you make it out to be. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2257715/Study-shows-college-students-think-theyre-special–read-write-barely-study.html
