And you're willing to give THAT up?
Why?

Then it's not you I'm worried about.
Where is MY tax money going?
Who's getting it?
Why do they need OR deserve what they already get, let alone more?

I'm tired of paying for states that can't seem to educate their kids as well as those in my state, even though I am helping them to do so. CdC, I'm counting you as AZ because I've heard that you used to live there, and because I don't like you.

I live in Arizona and you probably won't like me much either....
Here's a test - check my website I just started up > > > www.neoconman.com



Let's make ONE THING very clear here, it's not the Republicans keeping our children from being educated. My wife is a teacher in the 'hood of Phoenix, and after all these years she's about to take a pay cut and move to an "affluent" subdivision near our home where everybody is a citizen and speaks English.
Less pay, way less political stupidity, and a much simpler job. Fewer Defeatocrats....

Arizona is mired in Indian affairs & poverty, illegal Mexicans, and an influx of Liberal Californians.
Our problems are getting worse by the minute with the first two, and compounded by the third.

By the way, I spent 15 years in Texas and sending tax dollars to D.C. at a furious rate.
Does your source cite the tax imbalance for Texas? It was UGLY in the 80's & 90's!
Oh, and how many of those states sucking the DC teat are in the NorthEast?

I really have my doubts that Massa2sh!ts is that far over the line.
Source?

My, the same old tired and pseudo-cocky retort....
I was in favor of going into Iraq - IN 1993!!!
Your man Clinton caused 9/11 by rolling over and playing dead in Iraq, then Somalia.
Deny it all you want - it's a fact.

Bin Laden himself said he was inspired by our pathetic action and subsequent complete withdrawal from Somalia. You can believe everything you hear from the pointy-headed Liberals over here, I'll believe what the Islamic murderers over there announce to the world as their sole intention.

Golly, looks like the UN was impotent and pathetic once again while the US takes it up the butt.

As far as ANYBODY putting up cash for anything, do YOU contribute to any charities or causes?
Every time I get a straight answer from a Liberal, I find they do not.

Let's see....
First, I pay my taxes in full - $30k in Fed alone last year.
Second, I tithe at my church. Do you give 10% of anything to anybody?
Third, I support a couple of causes near and dear to my heart with money - not lip service.

Concerning the above, I give what I was taught to give to my nation as a child.
That I was unable to serve in the military despite two attempts bothers me still. (Childhood athsma)
My wife's family and mine is full of military men, my Dad 22 years. I regret I did not serve.

This is what I consider the bare minimum for ANYBODY in this country, and I wish I had done more.
How about you and your Liberal friends, VRM?
Just curious....
