confession of a 'tax and spend' liberal

We can't even repair our infrastructure because government is bad and taxes us too much.

Government does tax us too much...at least the top 53%. But, government does spend too much with very little oversight. There lies the problem

... God another dumbass republican who has no idea what shes talking about.
First off your 53% number is from INCOME taxes ONLY, of which INCOME taxes only equal 1/4th of total taxes. 2nd the poorest 50% of Americans pay higher tax rates then billionaires and the supper rich.
Furthermore pretty much every function of government spends money more efficiently then the private sector; exmaples are SS, health care, education etcetc
 
Many righties throw, as an invective, “tax and spend liberal” at me. I have been considering it and realize that’s exactly what I am. I wish to see government do whatever services it’s providing, but better, and feel its well-known failings are mainly because of under-funding. I therefore am willing to pay higher taxes for better and expanded, government services

How well has that worked out for our Educational system? We keep throwing more and more money into it and the kids keep getting dumber and dumber.
The money went to the teachers retirement program and has done nothing to improve our Educational system.

How much money have we spent on the War on Poverty since the 60's and poverty has expanded. Good grief, these people just don't understand the limitations of our government.

By the way...when you call sombody else a dumbass, it's best if you use spell check, and use proper words. just an observation.....

With all due respect, Hilbert? You REALLY think that government fails because of "under-funding"? I'm sorry but I just don't see it. The government fails because it wastes so much of it's revenue, not because they don't have enough revenue.

I think the analogy of a bucket filled with water is appropriate. You wouldn't keep asking for more water to be poured into a bucket that was riddled with gaping holes...because any logical person KNOWS that the water will continue to leak out and be wasted. No, you wouldn't keep filling the leaking bucket... you'd fix the holes. So why is it that our present debates seem to be centered around how much more taxation the wealthy should be asked for and NOT how to patch up the holes we're losing so much "water" out of?

This is what happens when liberals took over the schools and have been running it for the last 45 years.
This is why we have so many in our government who think that they can pass any laws and do anything they want. They don't think that the Constitution limits government.
The left has so twisted and misinterpreted the General Welfare Clause, that we now have a big and overbearing Government.

And, I'm so stupid that I think spending more money automatically means people ware doing their job better. And, I really want a more effective SWAT response for stamping out raw milk and that doesn't come cheap.

Nope, more money gives you the flexibility to hire people who can and will do the job well.

Sorry, Hilbert, but the government will still hire socialists. The govnernment has no interest in "doing the job well". You are tax and spend and you're trying, desperately and pointlessly, to justify your insanity.

Actually poverty when from around 50% of the population down to 12%; it wasn't unit Reagan who increased taxes on the poor and cut services for the poor that poverty began to expand. And Good grief you just don't understand anything mostly becuse oyu have an IQ of 66

I doubt you can even name 100billion in wasteful government spending

Please refer to post #25. I don't think we really can have a conversation about this topic. :lol:
