Gallup: Government Too Powerful

[LordBrownTrout]

I'll take it more seriously when people actually start refusing government benefits.

But shit. Even Ayn Rand took Medicare and Social Security after she got the Lung Cancer (because she thought government warnings about tobacco were a government plot to control her life.)

I'll take actions over touchy feely polls.

We pay into SS. Thats each individuals money that the govt confiscates for thirty forty years and then allows a pittance back.

If you retire at 65 and live to be 72, you get everything you paid into SS back.

Not true. Inflation, number of people retiring, and taxes on social security have rendered that statement false. Maybe in the first 10 years after SS was enacted.

The money would be there for the retied, if Dem's had not robbed from it to pay for the Viet Nam War and then never closed it back up, or paid it back and then started using the surplus to pay for other Social Programs.

They are doing the same thing with Medicare, taking 700 Billion from it to help pay for the New Health Care Law.

Yep, and that's after he forced everyone to sign up for that war the killed over 59,000 American soldiers.

You missed the whole Katrina thing when all those Red State types were all bitching that FEMA didn't respond fast enough.

Ayn Rand would be crying that they weren't "Self-reliant" enough to get themselves out of that mess.

Here's the real problem. As much as Wingnuts complain about government being "too big" or "too powerful", they never, ever, ever call for cutting a program that benefits themselves.

They want to cut the OTHER guy's program.

Cut those lazy welfare people's foodstamps, but I'd better get my extention of unemployment benefits!

You mean the mayor of New Orleans and the Gov. Of LA. Both liberal Democrats. not to mention the people of New Orleans which are majority liberal democrats.

No, I mean fat-ass Haley Barbour, too. And Riley, the governor of that other state.

Point is, none of those guys turned down FEMA Help, those self-reliant rugged individualists.

Actually, with inflation, you'll probably get it back faster..

[JoeB131]

So that was the best you had, that the party that can't decide if it's an "Gift from God" rape or a "Legitimate" rape wants to stop rape victims from getting abortions, and you wonder why the ladies are a tad upset about that?

 

[Stephanie]

If you all don't see this government IS OUT OF CONTROL stepping on YOUR RIGHTS..then you have the problem and this country is DOOMED

Well, this is a nice way to start the day:

Americans' Belief That Gov't Is Too Powerful at Record Level

It's now 60 to 32.

We're clearly moving towards the more centralized bureaucracy that the Left covets, but it's nice to see that the narcissistic thugs and liars in D.C. have not yet taken over the American psyche.

.

Government will have the right balance between power and liberty when people aren't legally allowed to criticize it.

You support a woman's right to choose...except when that choice is to buy a firearm or to put her kids in a private church school.

So you only support a woman's right to choose if she makes the correct, liberal-approved choices.

Oh, yeah. I mean, they might

GASP- take away my freedom to starve to death in my old age when Corporate America can't squeeze any more work out of me!!!
