Here's your "role". Protect me from our enemies and let me be free to succeed or fail on my own. I dont want a hand up hand out or a hand across my face. Has anyone on here ever gotten a letter from our beloved Government threatening to come and take all your property away. I have. You know what, they can do it and there isn't anything you can do about it. I feel the same way our forefathers felt. Oppressed, over taxed, and over regulated. I say the Government needs to get off my back. I don't want to be burped at birth and then taxed again after I die by my Government. I don't think Socialism is OK just because we think we can do it better than the Europeans. I don't think rich people are evil and I don't want their money. They give me a job and thats enough for me. I've never worked for a homeless person, but I have worked for some wealthy people. I can't figure out how we now look at success as something we need to penalize. Does anyone think rich people pay high taxes? Yes they do, but they also pass those taxes on down the line. I know this for fact. It's the middle class and the poor that pays most of those taxes. Call it "trickle down economics". Of course we have been told that that doesn't really happen. Yeah right.

I don't think my 80 yr old parents should have to continue to work hard just to make a "rent" payment to the Government in the form of property taxes. They paid off their house many years ago but are afraid they will lose their house if they can't keep up the property taxes. Do you think you own your own home. Think again. You rent your house from the Government. One last thing, I have a God and he doesn't live in the White House.
