Default I\'m so mad, people are trying to steal from me, what should I do

There are people that are trying to steal my hard earned money and they threaten to kidnap me if I don't payup. I gotta pay 25% of what I make to them, or they will hunt me down and throw me in a cell.

I live in Brazil, and these people that wanna steal from me are actually my own goverment. They wanna take my money, and give it to people who don't work, and sit all day long on huge public buildings doing essentially nothing. [censored] this system. I'm thinking of moving to Hong Kong or somewhere else that doesnt rape your income and offer NOTHING in return.

You'll get little sympathy here. Most of the liberals here want the government to have all your money.

Gee Dub said that he thinks the federal government should take no more than 1/3 of your money. Wow, that's re-assuring. That sure sounds like someone who believes in limited government. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Default Brazil Elects a Lot of Idiots

In Brazil you are required to vote by law and you can't get a job unless you can prove you voted. As a result, every brain dead-knuckle-dragging-slobbering-fool votes and these fools tend to vote for socialists. Brazil's current president is a socialist. I suppose he hasn't heard that Adam Smith defeated Karl Marx in the cold war. Laws like these will keep Brazil from becoming an economic powerhouse.

That's a load of bullshit if I ever heard one, and I'm going to call your freshman economic butt out on it.

proof

"Stephen Moore, president of the Club for Growth, and Daniel Mitchell, a Heritage Foundation economist, argue that government was much better contained under President Clinton, in part because Mr. Clinton faced a skeptical Republican Congress.

"We are now seeing the biggest expansion in government since Lyndon Johnson was in the White House," Mr. Moore said. "It is pretty much an across-the-board mushrooming of government. We have the biggest education, foreign aid and agriculture bills in history, and bigger expansions are on the agenda."

Mr. Mitchell called the growth of government under Mr. Bush "very troubling for conservatives." He calculates that domestic spending is up about one percentage point of gross domestic product. "That is quite discouraging," he said, "particularly since we made so much progress under Clinton in reducing the size of government."


---------------------

Tax rates may be lower, and that's all very nice. But it don't mean s**t when spending is increasing and deficits are growing as a result.

Non-defense discretionary spending has been much higher under Clinton than Bush and you have no way to disprove that statement. Look at the farm bill, look at the gigantic Medicare prescription drug bill, etc.

Divided government produces less government growth. It would be better if we had a Democratic President with a Republican Congress or vice versa.

But we were spending much less under Clinton than under Bush(inflation-adjusted of course). There is no disputing this fact.
