Bull shit dawg. Everyone knows that wealth can only be created by boot straps and other wealth. :thumb:

Most Americans don't mind paying for the government necessary to provide infrastructure & protection that enables this country to accumulate wealth. What they have a problem with is paying for an ever-expanding government that provides very little value-added service to the majority of Americans. They don't like paying for a government that continues to pour money into unnecessary wars abroad while being unwilling to secure their own southern border. If they're not going to perform their basic constitutional responsibilities, then most Americans would just as soon keep the money themselves instead of funneling it through the cheese cloth of regulation.
You sure do got a purty mouth, boy. :notworthy: :notworthy:

Oh, you don't have to remind me. Why it amazes me that anybody who thinks or thought there would be a dynamic shift to the body politic by electing a candidate representing either of the two major parties are shocked - SHOCKED, I tell you - that it's business as usual.... :coffee:

If all the donks disappeared, we would lose a few bright, creative, entertaining people and millions of bums. The streets would be safer, more people would be wealthy and almost no one would go hungry.

If all the conks disappeared, the vast majority of everyone else would soon go hungry.
