I want to cut entitlements and shrink government.

Start with a couple of hundred or so GOP Representatives and Senators.

No more government health care for them or their families.

Or police protection.

Or fire protection.

Or military protection.

Or Social Security.

Or FDIC.

Or utilities.

Or tax breaks.

Or salaries.


Cut 'em off

Go Galt on their lazy slack asses.

By what Wilburforce will this great cleansing be accomplished?

No more government health care for them or their families.

They don't depend on that. They've got private insurance.

Or police protection.

The real corporate stooges don't need that, they fly on corporate jets and ride in limos that have private security. And police protection in D.C. is not assigned to these rogues, but to everyone.

Or fire protection.

If they're good GOP libertarians, they pay for that out of their own pockets in advance, or else. They don't need no socialist firemen!

Or military protection.

Got me stumped here.

Or Social Security.

See title of my message.

Or FDIC.

There's more than one way to protect one's money. FDIC is for the average American, not fat cats.

Or utilities.

If they can pay, they don't need any government help. They don't qualify for low-income assistance.

Or tax breaks.

That's what the Cayman Islands exist to give them.

Or salaries.

They already live in Libertarian Paradise, and are Galts.

Okay, all kidding aside...

Those people represent the SIXTY MILLION American citizens who voted for Romney. They reflect their values, which are deranged to us. It's one thing to go ballastic on the faces you can see, the names that you know.

Those who voted for them, control state houses, etc. Don't get hung up on shooting the messenger, is all I'm saying.

That includes me and you, too.

Peace Out.

any farmer who flew a "don't tread on me" flag, or has been a member of the TEA party ... must renounce any "farm bailout" monies ...

and also quit subsidizing the oil industries ...

Keep your government hands off my Social Security and Medicare. I deserve it. I paid for it.
It's those lazy good-for-nothings in New York and New Jersey who are bankrupting it, not me.

We don't need no police or military. We got our own guns.

We don't need no teachers. Teachers only want to teach myths like evolution. We got our Bibles.

Tax breaks? We don't need no tax breaks. Get rid of the stinking taxes in the first place.
Why should the Feds collect Fed income tax? Our Founding Fathers didn't have Fed income tax.
A number of our states don't collect state income tax. if states don't need it, why should the Feds?

Utilities? The well works fine. The outhouse is in running order. Who needs utilities.

Oops. We got Hurricane Katrina. We got the Gulf Oil Spill. You better come help us. We deserve it.
We don't got the money like those rich North-Eastern states or California. Help us now! No delays!
We will shut down the government if you don't help us.
We won't tell you what we will do (shut down the government) if you do help us.
