There's a ton of other issues that compound the debate as well.
Hypothetically, the govt. shouldn't have the right to take someone's hard-earned paycheck, but there's roads to build, borders to protect, infrastructure to maintain & the elderly/disabled to care for. I've lived in third world countries where the wealthiest rule unchecked and they have no conscience ... these are the countries where you will find the most abject poverty and lack of any type of infrastructure. People should be able to enjoy the fruits of their labor, but we have a responsibility to our country and fellow man. We also need smaller government and a way to prevent our elected officials on Capitol Hill from abusing the system. It's a fine line. |

I do have a problem with a % of my check paying for 54 Christmas trees in the White House, putting a check in the hands of the lazy. Ive a big problem with a % of my cell phone bill going to give someone else a cell phone. Yet another trend. For the record i have spent years in Nigeria and other third world countries also. The politicians live high on the hog while the education system is sacrificed... Wait, I cant tell If I am talking about Nigeria or America. Trendy this thread is. |

Re: Keeping Football and Political agenda-opinion separate
Absolutely buddy, and while I'm not a very religious person, per say, and there are minor talking points I agree/disagree with everyone from time to time, right & left, if I had to go to war, I'd want most of y'all in my platoon, right or left ... except maybe the drive-by Falcon fans, ... but yeah, basically I believe a person should be free to do what they want and live their life how they see fit without too much govt. interference ... a little, but not too much.
