[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's amazing how little people know about services their government performs for them.   [/quote]

Government is not performing these services for free.  We pay for these services with taxes.  Tax money that we've earned by working.  And too many people on the left act like we should somehow be apologetic for sacrificing enough to succeed.  [/quote]

You seem to be under this misperception that the conservatives are the business creators, and the liberals are not.  In fact, when you look at the wealthiest Americans, they are quite well distributed on the political spectrum.  What's more, they are also distributed on the spectrum regarding the fairness of taxation.

At your level, which is probably my level - maybe you have created a few companies in your lifetime, there are also a range of liberals and conservatives.  And even though we struggled and sacrificed to get our first companies off the ground, we still believe in the importance of supporting our government.

You would be surprised to find that up until recently even many die-hard Republicans felt the same way.  Would you have suspected that the ardent supporter of health care mandates was Newt Gingrich?  Would it not also surprise you that one of the biggest supporters of National Health Insurance was none other than Donald Trump?

In summary point is this:  you are playing out this false dichotomy that the debate is between you and your kind, the producers, vs. me and my kind, the consumers.  This is false and we should move past the notion. [/quote]
