Who will tell us to wear our seatbelts or protect us from the neighbor who has a gun or stop people from saying the "n" word.. or make sure that the rich pay?
sure... less government sounds good to em till they realize it means... less government... less of a chance to tell people what to do.
crock-it is proving my point.
me.. hell.. you don't have to sell me... I can only think of one or two things the government should do... you want good meat? safe food? buy kosher and stay away from government seal of approval stuff.

Funny because you righties sure seem to love to tell the rest of us what is ok to watch on TV or say on the radio. Much less what women can do with their bodies.
Both sides love to try and tell others what to do.. It's just what they try to tell you is diffrent.
What is it, that the rich pay? If you are talking about taxes, well In most cases by percentage the wealthy in this country pay far less of a tax percentage than some guy making 30 or 40k a year.
Your average hard working American pays about 30% to 40% of his income in taxes. The wealthy tend to pay closer to 20% to 30%.
Only way taxes will ever be fair is if we went to a flat tax but that will never happen. Simply because big business knows they would then pay more taxes. I think Ron Paul babbles about doing this, but he would never get it passed.
If you remember George Bush and his first campaign, he also promised a flat tax.. He sure has seemed to go far with that now hasn't he?
When politicians claim they will give us a flat tax, it's nothing more than a song and a dance for the masses at election time. The real powers that be will never let a flat tax be put in place. They would then actually have to pay taxes.
