No, you are wrong. When you take into account state and local taxes paid minus government services used (i.e., school for children, etc.), the percentages I stated are correct, or may even be understated.
at anyrate, the discussion which permeates all the media and most of this forum is the proper role of government the only point I was making is, when the president tells private enterprise that the government is "somebody else" we have a real failure to communicate
Third sentence after the "bad" one. "The point is, is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together." President Obama Some folks don't read that far.
The reason some people don't read that far is because they have such an aversion to reading factual information that they actually hold their breath unconsciously while doing so. Therefore, I'm surprised they made it to the end of the first sentence.
you idiot. the taxpayer is an example of "sombody else". i am beginning to fear for the sanity of america if you are an example.
That somebody is the private sector, you fucking retard. The private sector benefits and the private sector pays for it. "The Government" is just the hired go-between who manages the project. Understand? Or do you need me to dumb it down, even more?
thats not the point. all obama said was nobody builds a business alone and its idiots like you that turned it into a government is evil thing. is the concept too difficult for you? what the hell happend to you? you used to at least make a little sense now you have gone off the rails. you pissed because your hero ron paul was rejected by thinking people.
