Why can’t liberals understand this simple concept? If you want to live off of my income, you must live by my rules.?

Update:

If you want to make your own decisions, then you must be prepared to pay the consequences yourself – financial and otherwise. I have managed to get pre-teens to understand this simple thought. Are liberals really not as smart as a fifth grader?

    I would say liberals are simple minded but that's a little too generous. They are driven by greed and crotch tingles. They don't believe that you have any say in how they spend your money. Just STFU and give it to them. Just like Greece witht heir bailouts

    Why can't insane conservatives understand that they don't LIVE without using everyone's money.

    Roads, bridges, air traffic control, sewage systems, electrical grids, the U.S. Military, disease control, public schools, law enforcement.....on and on and on.....

    ALL gained through the 'redistribution of wealth.'

    BUT - you would appear to have your geography messed up. The money doesn't flow from the haves to the have nots. It flows from the middle-class to the super-rich. In staggering numbers.

    We now live in a system rigged by right-wingers to feed all the 'gimmes' to the super-rich.

    We spend THREE TIMES MORE ON CORPORATE WELFARE than on social welfare.

    Food Stamps is a SLIVER of our budget. The Walton family ALONE could take care of our national food stamp program, just on their annual income. IMAGINE.

    Romney pays a LOWER TAX RATE THAN I DO.

    EXXON often pays NOTHING, despite profiting in the BILLIONS, AND receiving taxpayer-funded welfare!

    So, I guess my point is this: YOU don't make the rules, no matter what you "have."

    You REALLY THINK IT'S FAIR that if you happen to be born with millions of dollars, which generates INCOME whether you work OR NOT, that YOU should be making the rules?

    Pu-lease.

    Apply that concept to the conservative states that have been living off of the largesse of the liberal states through the federal tax system, for decades.

    In any case, the “rules” are set by Congress and the Supreme Court so I have no idea what you are complaining about in your silly, vague little rant.

    Taxation without representation. Yes. Where have I heard that before? Could that be THE reason thirteen colonies declared their independence from Great Britain?

    Pretty funny, considering how much of my money you waste on your wars and empire.
