« on: April 17, 2017, 05:54:55 AM »I paid over $100'000 in federal taxes this year.
I also paid $75k to date for a war that I did not want anything to do with, and apparently I owe another $150k on it.
Why do I have to pay for your agenda, when you don't have to pay for mine? Here's a thought - give me my war money back and I'll donate 50% of that to the charity of your choice.
Our Constitution calls for national defense, not a lot for "your agenda". You can make an argument that the wars Obama continued, or started are not necessary for defense. I will agree that a lot of the war on drugs, and war on terror is an excuse to grow government, and raise taxes on working people. Try to roll back the Bush, and Democrats' Dept of Homeland Security, and other unnecessary crap, and see how both parties howl that we are making the country unsafe.
