How many are sick and tired of Government ?

How many of you are just as sick and tired of Government telling us what we can and can not do?

Why does the left keep wanting more and more government, more and more money?
Aren't they just as sick of being told what to do and what not to do?
Why do they keep voting for politicians who want to run our lives? It's in both parties,but more so it the Democratic party.
I'm sick of government telling us;

What we can and can not eat.you can still eat the chemicals that the gov doesn't allow on our foods, you just have to buy them separately
What we can and can not drive.Driving is a privledge and not a right, you don't have the right to place an unsafe vehicle in the road, its not just YOUR life at stake
What can you not say?what is illegal for you to say today?
What kind of light bulbs to use.You can still use the old bulbs all you want, oder them from some other country
How we can and can not worship.Its you guys who want to make being a Muslim illeagal
What we can and can not put in our yards.hey silly those are local laws, you guys like local control remember
Where we can an can not fly the American Flagagain local laws
How we can and can not raise our childrenI guess you prefered the days when people were legally allowed to beat their kids to death huh?
Paying Government for permits for our children to sell lemonade and cookies.Again local laws
What jobs we can and can not have.I dont think you need to be allowed to steal cars and or defraud homeowners

Aren't You ?


You jsut dont have the depth to understand how and why government exsists


Yes, TM we know you have been brainwashed.
Our Government does not exist to take care of us on everything.
Your spelling is one example of how our schools are failing.
Raising Children is totally different than child abuse.
And I am talking about Federal and state laws.
And what has jobs got to do with stealing cars and defrauding homeowners.
Sharia Law in our court system. Not outlawing Muslim worship. Just like any type of religion. No Catholic laws,no Baptist laws ,so on.

You just dont get it do you?

Its your neighbors, that is what government is.

Its your neighbors saying what is and what isnt allowed in our society.

You just dont like people having controol of their government.

You prefer that ONLY the people who agree with you being in control.
 
We basically have two groups of people in this country: those who think the gov't should take care of them and those who don't. There are a lot of people in the 1st group, once you get on the gov't tit it's hard to get off of it. Those in the 2nd group are indeed getting sick and tired of the big spending gov't we've had in the last 10 years, did you see the report that over 500 Americans have renounced their US citizenship over the 1st qtr of this year? These are rich guys, we don't need to be losing them and their money, and BTW that doesn't count the people who have sold out, packed up, and moved to another country without bothering to renounce theor citizenship.

Plus our biggest multinational companies are keeping tons of money offshore to avoid the high corp tax rate in the US, money that we need here to revitalize the economy. We're writing reams of new rules and regs, the NLRB and EPA are bypassing Congress and trying to legislate the liberal agenda. It's ridiculous, how can they expect economc growth and more jobs with the anti-business policies they're pushing?

Sorry, but I don't think you'll get arrested for defying any one of those. They're mostly guidelines. Do whatever you want. That said, why should the government LEGISLATE marriage? People should be "free" to love and live with whomever they want.

None of this is the Governments job.

You're still allowed to fry your own potatoes in pure lard for all Uncle Sam cares. The government isn't "forcing" you to buy electric cars, and the Constitution calls for FREEDOM OF RELIGION, not to worship only the Christian religion.

The biggest reason for food guidelines is because of the enormous cost to government (both federal and state) that result from poor diet decisions of now approaching two-thirds of all Americans. In other words, it's actually costing more in taxpayer money to keep those people alive. But you guys never think in logical, long-range terms.
 
I'm not sick and tired of government. I'm sick and tired of what liberals did to the government.

And I'm sick and tired of listening to unenlighted conservatives blaming the liberals.

Socialism, Republican-Style by Michael Tennant
While it's good to see some actual GOP opposition to government growth again, it's very difficult to take it seriously. Here, for example, is just a sampling of the socialist programs and policies instituted and/or supported by a significant number of Republicans, with Ron Paul frequently being the lone exception:

The only time cons have a problem with entitlement programs, etc., is when they're out of power. Funny that.

The fear of "Sharia law in the courts" is a myth perpetrated by the right wing. They'll use anything to terrify America which might get them a few votes.

Except the effective corporate tax rate is nowhere near 35%. This is a fascinating detail of how it all works, Mr. McIntyre having addressed Congress on this very subject.

Tax Justice Network: Bob McIntyre's $365 billion testimony to U.S. Senate Budget Committee
FRIDAY, MARCH 11, 2011

Excerpts:
The 1986 Reagan tax reform was not, contrary to what many people today would assume, a wild tax-cutting exercise. Quite the contrary, in fact:

"Among other things, Reagan’s tax act curbed offshore corporate profit shifting, leasing tax shelters and numerous industry-specific tax breaks, and despite a reduction in the statutory corporate tax rate, increased corporate tax payments by 34 percent. Reagan also equalized the personal income tax treatment of wages and realized capital gains, and he made the tax system more progressive overall."

But then, of course:

"Lobbyists for corporations and wealthy individuals didn’t give up after 1986. They worked hard to regain and expand the tax subsidies that Reagan had taken away.
Much was undone during the Clinton and George W. Bush administrations, he notes: both the Democrats and the Republicans were at serious fault.

"By the early 2000s, corporate subsidies had risen so much that the average effective U.S. federal corporate tax rate paid by America’s largest and most profitable corporations on their U.S. profits had fallen to only 18.4 percent — barely over half the 35 percent statutory rate. 1 Those tax subsidies have grown even larger since then."
...
Next, McIntyre examines the claims of corporate lobbyists that U.S. corporations face higher tax rates than their foreign competitors. In a study of 275 companies, he found that three quarters faced higher effective foreign tax rates than U.S. tax rates: the average effective rate was 29.3% on foreign profits, versus 21.5% for U.S. federal and state taxes. In 2006-10, General Electric had an effective minus 15.8% U.S. tax rate (it got huge rebates) on U.S. profits, versus 19.6% on foreign profits. ExxonMobil showed a similar pattern.

There's more dynamite, too, on the subject of Mcintyre's third argument: that these corporate subsidies are fundamentally unfair. Mcintyre's CTJ is working on a large new study:

"our preliminary results so far suggest that corporate tax subsidies are now larger than corporate taxes paid."

That, if the final report backs this, is a true shocker. And on the subject of unfairness, there's plenty more:

Two-thirds of stock dividends paid to individuals, directly or into retirement plans or charitable coffers, are effectively taxed at a zero rate or less

Most capital gains on corporate stock are never realized and thus are never subject to income tax

About 70 percent of the tax savings from the low tax rates on the small portion of capital gains and stock dividends that is subject to personal income tax goes to the best-off one percent.

Goodness. That's rich folk converting their income so that it attracts a lower tax rate - courtesy of offshore, which drives tax rates on capital lower.
 
I happen to think we have the greatest government in the world

So do I. But the bloated bureaucracy is what needs to be fixed, agency by agency. There are billions that can be saved by eliminating the duplicitous efforts both within and among the agencies. Homeland Security has seen the biggest expansion of government, and it's become a bureaucratic paper-pushing nightmare. They need to go back to DEcentralizing the agencies like FEMA which were thrown under the huge DHS tent and where better control over funding and programs each is responsible for doesn't get lost in some giant shuffle.

I live in NY. No one has told me anything. And IF anything I have to listen to whacked out nut jobs preach the gospel of jeebus on almost a daily basis. My new neighborhood has no less then 3 Christian places of Worship and 2 Muslim ones. One thing I like about the Muslims is they aren't barking sermons on the Subway or marching through the streets yowling about end time.

I'm more sick of people overstating the supposed infringements.

Theres a boat leaving the Country every day; I'll help you pack.

:bye1:
 
I am sick and tired of expanding government, overbloated government, and overspending government... regardless of whatever party put whatever parts of these things in place...

I am not naive enough to believe that the REP party did not do a great deal in terms of government expansion and spending... but I have greater hopes that it has more of a chance of taking the conservative route in reducing spending, equalizing tax rates across the board, and chopping more out of the governmental leviathan

Equalizing taxes across the board? Republicans? Are you serious?
 
The Government has been over-stepping and over-reaching for many years. Our Government is now doing all the things we kicked the British Monarchy out for doing. We are now living in Pre-Revolution-like times. We're actually going backwards in this country. The Government is seizing more power & control by the day. And the saddest aspect of this is that so many Americans just sit back and allow it to happen. Both the Socialists/Progressives and Neocons just love Big Government and want it to get even bigger. We need more true Conservatives to stand up and end this rapid rush to absolute Government Power & Control. True Conservatives are this nation's only hope.

Okay, so you think the government is setting the price of gas? LMAO! We have some of the lowest gas prices in the world other than for countries where their government subsidizes the cost. So do you want our government to subsidize the cost of our gasoline, so that you can afford to drive any gas guzzler you like?

Which is it? A British Monarchy or Progressive Socialism?

They are completely different...and the Monarchy thing is favored by "True Conservatives".
