ORIGINAL: DaddySatyr As a tax payer, I'm pissed that my money goes for free needles so that people can continue to engage in illegal and medically dangerous behavior in a "safe" manner. I'm pissed that my money gets spent giving condoms and other forms of birth control to under-age children without their parents' consent (through a "government outlet" where prayer isn't allowed but lewd behavior is encouraged). I'm pissed that my money goes to support the "weed brigade" that would rather sit home, get high, and play video games because they found some quack doctor to sign on to the idea that they're unable to work. I'm pissed that our military is used all over the world in an attempt to spread - not democracy - the socialist disease that our country is obviously invested in spreading. I'm pissed that my tax dollars get paid to an agency that blatently targets a portion of the population for having a different opinion than the current piece of shit in the oval office. I'm pissed that this government has decided that it's okay to kill American citizens without due process. Lastly, I'm pissed that anyone that speaks out and doesn't march in lock stop with the current asshole-in-chief and his pablum-puking minions is treated like they haven't got two brain cells to rub together. Fuck Obama and everything he stands for. A tax payer Actually, its not your or my money going to any of these things. Its the United States of America's money. I know this will come as a shock, but DO TRY TO KEEP UP here: You have $30 Dollars in your pocket and you need gas for your pickup truck. You go to the gas station call 'Ezzy Eddie's Gas, Inc." and hand the clerk the $30 dollars. Your fill your tank of the $30 dollars. Now, here is the question: Can you dictate to the management of "Ezzy Eddie's Gas, Inc." (a corporation) of how it uses your $30 dollars? Why or why not? The United States Government is the same way in the metaphor above. Once you pay the taxes, and the money is deducted from your account to the USA's, the money is NO LONGER YOUR MONEY. You have NO RIGHTS over how, where, when, and to whom its used. NONE! However, you can have a 'chat' with your Representative and two Senator's to make sure the money in the budget is spent as you like. But that takes into account you realizing that this is a Democratic Republic and NOT a Dictatorship. They could take your view and go with it, or give you the middle finger and say 'fuck off'. Regardless, you have little to no say on how the US Government uses the money. And the money gets spent on a wide range of things. For all you know, all your tax dollars went to paying for toilet paper in the IRS's main office. Your hard earned bills went to paying so someone could wipe their asses of shit and throw it all down in the toilets. I like to think my tax dollars went towards something useful, like training US Medical Doctors to help our Marines after a deadly shoot out with some evil enemies. Bottom line is, its not your or mine money once we give it to the US Government. Its THEIR MONEY!
