Freedombecki, I'm a Democrat who has paid taxes all my life to the government. I'm a contributor to a lot of government programs as a (good) consequence--The War on Drugs (Terror, etc.). That was to have averted people from falling into lives of drug abuse a generation ago. Why why are these things still here? Our money was supposed to abolish them. If it is not abolished, then our money was totally wasted as to its intent of Congress imposing taxes to do a task.
The task was not done. Refund?
As far as Steele goes, I'm surprised that he doesn't realize he is just being used as a token figure so establishment republicans can say they are inclusive. republicans don't care about blacks. The only minorities they are interested in protecting are the haves and have mores.
That is not so. Republicans do too care about blacks. We willingly have paid taxes so they will not go hungry, will not go uneducated, and will not use drugs to destroy their own future. We want to see a return on our investment. We want to see more blacks reaching out to the excellence goal and fewer blacks giving up. We think we've done our part financially, and we have. Now, it's up to them to take up the baton. We can't force anybody to pursue excellence, we can only set a stage of equality so that they can reach back.
We did do our job, we did pay a price, and we do not deserve the calumny posted by leftists who wish to inflict injury on hard workers on programs that have had good result only upon those who seized the opportunity and took it to college with them to better themselves.
I don't deserve one single bad word by anyone, because I do my part on a daily basis. I still pay taxes. I work for a charity free gratis 9 out of 9 days so black babies get as good a start in life as their white counterpoints. And I don't believe leftists who go online for the sake of issuing a full frontal attack against Republicans with bad names and repeated calumnious speech are very knowledgeable.
They're doing it because they hope the lie reaches more people--who will hear it so much they will think it true--so leftists don't go down at the polls in 2012. Sorry, I've seen it on this thread, and I refute all lies stated against Republicans herein.
