You want to talk immature? Don't ya think that it's a bit immature for one adult to expect another to pay for his services? You want the government to play the "daddy role" and supply you with everything you need then don't bitch when he searches your room.

IF the better off want to help people out through charities they have that option whether or not to give their moneys and where they feel it's best needed. For example, cheap Joe Biden feels that you all have it VERY good according to his donation record.

Have a good one!:s4:
Okay, then. If you're so confident that businesses and the wealthy should be asked but not forced to give, do you support the idea of no government? The obvious endgame for capitalism is that business takes over the roles of government, so is that acceptable to you or to any other member of this board?

If you answer "no", then you should sit back and realize that without money, Government doesn't exist in a free-market economy. Where does that money come from?

*ding ding ding* We have a winner! The word was...

TAXES!!!

Not donations, not lobbying, not even the Federal Reserve's corrupt behavior. Taxes give money to the government so it can take care of the things we need done. That means public transportation (roads and bridges included), Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, FDA, Army, CIA, FBI, FEC, SEC, Navy, NSA, etc.

If you have an issue with all those, don't pay your income taxes this year. See how far you get by telling the IRS "I don't want to use my hard-earned cash to boost anyone else except myself". I'm sure they'll understand.
