I REFUSE to pay TAXES to the Lebanese Defense Department!
Edited on Fri Aug-04-06 10:28 AM by Joanne98
I'm being forced to pay taxes to the Pentagon "WAR MACHINE", I'm paying taxes to the Iraqi Army and NOW the CRIMINALS in Washington, want me to pay TAXES to the fucking Lebanese army too. WTF! I don't like supporting OUR army let alone anybody else's. I'M DRAWING THE LINE!

I want the Pentagon's budget to be CUT IN TWO.

Part ONE: The National Security Budget that ONLY DEFENDS THIS COUNTRY, INSIDE IT'S BORDERS!

Part TWO: The EMPIRE's National Security Budget. I want everything to do with SUPPORTING THE EMPIRE, identified and AXED!

Our Forefathers made us a REPUBLIC. NOT an EMPIRE! Our forefathers told us to STAY OUT OF FOREIGN ENTANGLEMENTS! They did this for a very good reason because, EMPIRES GO BROKE!

I got a MESSAGE for the elites of this country. If you want to rule the world, PAY FOR IT YOUR FUCKING SELF!

I'm sick of paying taxes for NOTHING! I see NOTHING for it. We have 50 million people who can't afford to go to the doctor. Because Washington takes their hard earned taxes to do what?

SUPPORT ONE TWO THREE DIFFERENT DEFENSE DEPARTMENTS. YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!

This shit has to STOP! The second Boston Tea Party has begun!

Listen to the people Washington: Hear them say..NO MORE MONEY!
Out of my COLD DEAD HANDS will you get any more money from me.
GO TO FUCKING HELL!

2. Don't worry it won't go there any more than Katrina funds went
to help Katrina victims. The MIC will pocket the money and the Lebanese military will be as rag tag as our own troops. Gotta keep gouging the taxpayers so Boeing and Raytheon can get richer; they'll just quell the outrage over the carnage in Lebanon by saying we'll support the military so they can fight Hezbollah. As if that will ever happen after this fiasco.

7. The US: Arming The World for Profit$$$
Edited on Fri Aug-04-06 10:23 AM by TahitiNut
Profiting from human suffering and death is the "American Way." Hell, look at our health care system!

Bushoilini Regime: "As we export your jobs we'll export your tax dollars, too! You, too, can be replaced."

10. I'm sorry to say this
but they get paid first. Unless you're self employed, there is no way they aren't gettting that money. It's a shame, isn't it?

15. We need a movement. Can't we get the "I hate taxes" people
on board? I never complained about taxes before. I don't mind social programs. BUT "the GLOBAL war machine". No No! This changes everything. We're not helping the Lebanese army. The only reason they want to give them money is to tell them WHO CAN JOIN. Lebanon has billionares. TAX THEM! This is becoming a big problem.

16. All the money is going to Halliburton, Lockheed, Boeing, Raytheon
and all the other Corporate Defense contractors...

It isn't going to the countries...it is just being shifted to the Corporate sector..

20. Wouldn't it be cheaper to just NATIONALIZE their asses.
I mean we own them anyway. If their going to be WELFARE QUEENS, they should be owned by the public. At least that way we could recover something when we auction their asses off.

not be able to have executives with pay packages in the tens of millions...and you know that would go over like a lead balloon with the lobbyists and Top 5% of the country that hangs in their social circles...

25. Really. You know, in the first decade of greed, the 80's, I was
naive enough to think, they would stop when they were millionares. then the 90's came and I thought, well, EVERYBODY is doing better so it's okay if they want to be billionares,, But NOW, in the THIRD DECADE OF GREED, they want to be want?? TRILLIONARES? they must want to live like GAWDS on MT Olympias. I feel like I'm in a Xena episode.

18. Look at the bright side...
If you make a million dollars a year you don't even have to pay taxes anymore.

19. Where are all the recs?
I wholeheartedly agree.
This is way out of hand.
We have citizens living in cardboard boxes, children going hungry, and people literally drowning in the streets.
Our power grid is outdated. People are dying of heat exposure.
People can't afford to go to the Doctor. Can't afford their medicine even if they do.
WTF ever happened to charity begins at home?
