Let's not forget that farmers get a lot of subsidies from the government, which of course , is us. As an example, the government subsidizes dairy farmers by buying up huge amounts of cheese at inflated prices and you pay for it at the store.

What on earth is "excessive luxury" and who decides what it is.

Stealing from the taxpayer and giving to the loafers is wrong. This is what's going on in the USA, ever since FDR's new deal.

I agree with Mike and Robert.

Well said, Mary - Mi.

Carol, I agree with you on the Diggedy comment. This is no place for that sort of language , even with stars.

Mike, trying to educate Waffler is like trying to teach a pig to whistle. It's impossible and only annoys the pig.

" Government, in it's last analysis, is organized force". Woodrow Wilson.

Taxation, regardless of where the money goes, is legalized theft. Some taxes are necessary, but are still theft.

Oops, I meant "lion's share".

Lincoln was a tyrant and a despot.

Five stars for the quote and zero for Lincoln.

Lincoln was a tyrant. Read "The Real Lincoln" or "Lincoln Unmasked" for the skinny on the worst president.

It's a shame that Goldwater lost the election to that crook, LBJ.

This was in Dover Pa.

"Judgement Day, Intelligent Design on Trial" is an interesting story of high school biology teachers suing the school board to keep religion out of the school biology textbook. Check it out on YouTube. I agree with the biology teachers.

Right on target , Joel, Rochester. Reminds me of a quote, "Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers". Recent elections prove this.

Bryan of Stewart, Florida says it well. I agree with him.

Right on, Radicalrick.

David and Reston, you are truly nuts, unless, of course, you are socialists, but I repeat myself.

As L.Neal Smith said,"Government is a disease masquerading as it's own cure".

Gee whiz Waff, I don't worship any man, but I do respect our founding fathers. They were brilliant.
