I don't get it! We (US citizens) want high standard of living...

[madchick44]

health,safety, security yet we either want lower taxes or no taxes, less or no authority for the US Fed government. I saw bumper sticker yesterday. Sizes up an accurate message to conservatives and teabaggers for me:

"You aleady have 10 X more than you want me to have."

Isn't it really all about not helping others, especially the black guy in the White House? Otherwise, none of their stuff makes any sense.

1. The tea partiers are not big on logical thinking.

If they truly don't want to pay taxes, then they should all move to Somalia.

There are no taxes there...

On edit: Welcome to DU!

2. And a lot of people think

that they can maintain a high standard of living by purchasing goods made my slave labor in China. (WalMart, anyone?)

4. everyone wants the government out of their lives.....

5. I think most teabaggers...

Everybody is wondering what happened to the "American Dream".

6. I think it is about who is getting taxed ...

that is, what brackets.

Those of us who are not held financially sacred will get taxed and hit with fees like there is no tomorrow in any way, shape, or form that case-strapped states and municipalities can manage. They are going to sell-off what they can to private concerns and we will also pay for what was once a product of our tax dollars and an expected service for said.

The payment/fee/tax creep will continue at an accelerating rate, but it is easier to pull-off since it is less obvious and far more insidious in nature.

Meanwhile, if you are wealthy, you are doing well .. great ... FANTASTIC! No worries for you.
