Reply #6: Fine, but then why is Homeland Security

[Catrina]

and all the rest of Bush's big government bureacracies, like the military, the Pentagon, getting our tax dollars?

I don't want them taking care of me either, we can do that once we know we are on our own. But then we should stop paying taxes to them, so they can live off the 'public trough' as they like to accuse others of doing.

How much is that incompetent, Brown, or Chertoff getting from our tax dollars? Bush and Congress, Cheney et al? Let's stop paying taxes and tell them to go make a living doing something worthwhile, like maybe someone needs a janitor somewhere (no offense to janitors, on second thoughts, they're not qualified to show up even, to do such a job).

Fire them all, and let's just go it alone. With the money they are stealing from us, we'd be fine ~
