When people come up with bloody stupid prejudiced knee-jerk delusions and tries to force everyone to accept that reality only accepts according to their warped statements?
Probably not no.
Shall we take a look at your idiocies?
At least I don’t call everyone who disagrees with me idiots. Not even you. Petulant, small-minded, intolerant, but not idiot. I
am certain that you do not know everything, and that I know more about living in the US than you do.
“The ones that spend your tax money buying the votes of those that do not pay taxes?"
A tiny, miniscule minority of politicians and/or bureaucrats comes even close to fitting that description(and even most of them doesn´t actually ever do that), yet you use it as an indirect personal attack and insult, and now you want to blame me for calling you out on it? Pathetic.
1. Nearly 40% of the people in this country pay little or no income tax.
2. Every election, leftist politicians fall all over themselves promising tax-funded giveaways of ‘free’ stuff.
3. The ‘qualifications’ for receiving those giveaways result in it going almost entirely to the non-tax-payers.
4. They, in turn, vote for the politicians giving stuff away.
"You believe that all the good crooks are in the government?"
Well duh, did i ever say that? Did i ever even imply that? Again you state by implication a delusional version of reality and demand that i agree with it.
Eh, NO.
Maybe in Sweden you have a perfect government, one that respects all of your rights, one that has not been turned into a burdensome and intrusive tool of the corrupt elites. Hurrah. We do not have that luxury here.
"If you give politicians money to pay the government's debts, they will spend it and borrow more."
And once more another blanket statement, again one where in reality it only concerns a tiny part of your targets, and is in fact dependent on demands of reality more than any of your target´s morality or ability, or lack thereof.
I’ve seen exactly that over and over. Politicians cry for tax increases ‘to address the budget deficit’ — to pay the government’s debts. Words like ‘crisis’ and ‘disaster’ get tossed about. Sometimes they succeed. The next year, when all that shiny money starts pouring in, the politicians act like kids on Christmas morning, increase spending, create new spending, by the next election cycle the deficit is bigger than ever, so obviously they ‘need’ more tax increases. Rinse and repeat until the federal government alone is
$20 trillion in debt. Is it any wonder those of us who have watched that farce go round a few times are bitter and cynical?
But hey, it´s just your kind of thinking that has made sure USA is in the deepest shithole of debts that it is, and it´s really amazing how you cannot understand it, despite how it is the most basics of national economics.
I know exactly how we got in this hole; I just explained it to you. No matter how much money they take, they spend even more.
You are apparently unable to understand it.
