Power corrupts.

The fackin idiots in DC have been escalating the ante each and every time the stupid f&^%$#@ get elected.

I'll be damned if its my frickin job to pay for every stupid government program idiots dream up. Screw the spotted owl. To hell with pig **** smell - damned pork barrel BS. Why in the f&^% am I paying for that stupid ugly 81tch who had 8 kids with no f&^%$#@ job.

*&^%ing *&^%ing *&^% ... food stamps are coming out of my g*&^%$#@! pocket and I'd appreciate if you f&^%$#@ getting food stamps act like you f*&^%$# understand the mugging, OK?

We need to have a party focused on NOT PISSING AWAY OUR FRICKIN TAX MONEY.

Taxes are pushing our country into a dumpster.

I think you're spot on here. It's hard to deny that the federal government (and state and local) provides a service to all citizens. I think it's fair to pay for that service. Though while I agree with the principle, I think the current practice is mostly BS and needs a serious overhaul.

I hope I am wrong, but the current track we are now on seems to be headed to less individual rights in favor of some kind of scheme where everybody is equally miserable.
The opposite side of that coin is when the wrong individual gets empowered. How many millions of dollars, or maybe even billions have been lost because of poor, greedy, selfish decisions by those at the top of the food chain? When a few men can ruin the lives of hundreds or thousands with corrupt trading schemes, I think there ought to be checks and balances in place. Again, this is a simple idea but a hard practice.

I think that's the Libertarian Party. I've been meaning to research their thoughts/goals more in-depth, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

They've got some very good ideas. I wouldn't consider myself a full scale Libertarian as I have some disagreements with their foreign policies, but I like the overall message they send, best paraphrased by Clint Eastwood:

"Everyone leaves everyone else alone".


I think things would be a hell of a lot better if more people had an attitude of independence and self-sufficiency rather than that of self-righteousness.
