If its "patriotic" to pay taxes, then why do 95% of democrats want a tax break for themselves?

anyone find anything wrong that statement from obama and biden thats its patriotic to pay taxes? if it is, then why are the dems wanting the tax breaks and why is obama saying he will give them it?

either they are NOT patriotic which makes sense or they lying about it being patriotic.

Update:

ash: uh, try watching obama, especialy during his campaign where he touted how under him 95% of americans will get a tax break.

LOLOL

    Indeed, that also means that the top 10% (republicans) are the most patriotic.

    Your argument is like saying if following the speed limit is good, why don't people drive 35 on the highway?

    Taxes fund our nation--including our military--and so paying them IS patriotic. However, all of us quibble about how the relative burden should be distributed. There's no shock in that.

    That's just a false argument and is designed to create hate between Americans.

    Get out of Israel sometime and come visit. We real citizens here who are not puppets of global corporations actually do get along pretty well, regardless of race or creed.

    We allow people to think and say what they want, as long as it's legal. Can you handle that?

    It's patriotic for you to pay taxes. It's "patriotic" for them to spend those taxes.

    It's well known that liberals are unpatriotic. Biden said so himself.

    It's unconstitutional the way we are forced to pay taxes. Always has been. Google it!
