Bobert: ""The government does not create wealth", GfinS??? Ours does... Exxon makes $30B a year, pays no corporate income taxes on that profit and gets $150,000,000 tax refund??? Farmers in the Midwest get checks in the mail that many don't even know what it's for??? Our government creates all kinds of wealth with dumbass tax policies that are in place because rich people give money to their Congressmen and lobbiests who in turn write dumbass policy that ****redistributes**** wealth to the already wealthy..."

Then:

Bobert: Heck, Rap... If we could get Alaska (the fed's biggest welfare state) off US then maybe we'd solve all the fiscal problems we have... But them folks all think they are "classless and free" and somehow these "rugged individuals" get more back per capita from WEashington than any other state in the USA... And by far!!!
Yeah, take away their welfare checks..."

Are you going to make up your mind???...and..why are you arguing MY SAME point????:

GfS: "Now, that being said, the fat cats at the top of most mega corporations, or special interest groups, have corrupted the government in a way that they are working for their mutual 'profit', whether it be money or power, both, or the money to manipulate power((and vise-verse)."

I think your biggest problem, is your partisan party politics, in the fact, that everybody is screwed up, EXCEPT for THEM!
It's like you are working around, the Debitcrat's policies being included, when it comes to being a part of the problem. Besides, it doesn't matter.....9/10ths of what they say is just for public consumption, as the Repugnantcans. The people they represent are the ones greasing them away from the public eye.....why do you think, as YOUR post says, those things happened????? How can you allude to one party or the other, as being making all this happen??? It's the top 'management' elite that are the culprits....and who have been misleading the common folk, 'true believers', if you will, that they are really about something else. The target of the deception, is people like you, and me, and anyone else, to do NOTHING that gets in their way! Why this is such a mystery to you, is beyond belief....SHIT, ITS DAMN NEAR COMMON KNOWLEDGE!!!

I wonder if you've been playing the same ol' songs for years and years, over and over and over.
Perhaps, learn a newer tune. Same in your politics. Get caught up, with whats been happening, since the 60's....(Actually, it was happening back then to...just read the 'Warren Report'!!!!)

Happy mowing...or snow removal!

Just a thought....
