Less government. OK Cut out fish hatcherys, or let everyone buy stamps to fish for their own choice. No public boat ramps, they shouls all be private affairs, and let them charge what the traffic will bear. Federal gasoline tax, scrap it, private toll can take you anyplace[if you want to go there].Abolish ALL federal prisons, let the states handle all the criminals[uh ever hear of state taxes]. WE all rely on government in one form or other, and TAXES pay for governm,ent services.Why the heck am I opaying schooltaxes, I have no one in school, except a son whos a teacher, teaching special needs kids, so why teach them anyhow, they will just go on the welfare rolls some day soon.Too much government is bad, not enough is worse.If you're sitting in the country someplace, and you have lights, thank the REC, it was taxes that brought that to you, probably some of mine. I dont like taxes, but they are a fact of life, sorry, they have been with humanity in one form or other since we became civilized.Some are wrong, some are needed. Why do I need to pay a surcharge on my auto insurance? its so people who dont like government mandated auto insurance can be covered for the damages their right not to be included incur.

You wasted a lot of keystrokes overstating empty arguments. Do away with gas taxes and we'll all pay tolls? Look at the states where your liberal heroes are in control. In New York they pay gas taxes AND outrageous tolls. To quote a cyber-friend of mine "Puh...leese!" I ain't going into the rest of your points, IMO they have no merit.

Take good close look at California. Is that what you want for our entire country?

Look, nobody is calling for the elimination of the government, and we all know taxes are a fact of life. Those of us who want to keep the freedom and independence we have left want it stop growing. Without going on a tirade explain where the role of the government stops in your opinion.

All those things you mentioned in your post are in place already, you voted for a party who's ultimate goal is take total power by creating unprecedented levels of dependence. Government mandated wealth redistribution, government administered health care, government controlled banks and companies, etc, etc, etc.

For goodness sake, one of you liberals step in and help out here. Where does it stop? How much government is enough?

How bout it Pontooner, Col, Andrew, somebody, anybody? Is California a better place to live? New York? Massachussets? Illinois?
