"It's a tax It's a tax" They use tax dollars for Wars and Big Government that we do not believe in

[Ghost of Huey Long]

Who cares if they want to call health care a tax...what better could we spend our tax dollars on as a nation?

Hmm should we take care of our own people with dignity and respect, or should we go kill some people in another country instead?

I don't believe they really asked our opinion on that one.


So far, the majority of our tax dollars goes to the military for wars the Republicans started and lied about...to destroy things, kill and maim millions of innocent people

and

Republican Big Government slush funds like Homeland Security and the TSA which use our tax dollars to violate our Bill of Rights, illegally spying on us, illegal detainment, naked photos and groping your grandma at the airport.


I really don't like how Republicans waste our money, so that is just too damn bad if they don't want to pay for health care.

We need to call them on their bullshit! Protecting the Constitution my ass!! Who forced the patriot act on us?

Worried about the debt my ass!!!! Maybe you shouldn't have stolen the Social Security Trust fund for your wars and Big Government.

I say we cancel all your bullshit tax cuts, wars and Big Government programs and use that money to pay for health care. Problem solved.

I am really tired of these hypocrites and their stupid ass corporate media.

And then to claim the moral high ground!!

What would Jesus want for US? Wars and Authoritarianism or health care for all?

1. Been saying this for years, you wrote it for me. Thanks Huey!

[Ghost of Huey Long]

3. thank you

can you tell I've been listening to right wing radio?

[freshwest]

7. Oh, their dogma has been out there for years. Hard to miss.

I've listened to a lot of stuff, too.

2. Odd how, suddenly, it's "unconstitutional" to "coerce" states to take money with conditions ...

Let's see ... $200 million dollar "bridge to nowhere" ... "Okay, we won't build the bridge." ... took the money anyway. Where did it go?

Also, John Kasich ... "I am not going to have Ohio build a high speed rail. What? You're taking the money away? YOU CAN'T DO THAT!"

[Ghost of Huey Long]

4. I know, seriously

the only way they get away with this is the corporate bought off media

[zbdent]

5. You're right ...

"You can have money ... but you can't have it if someone who walks by your building (and "walking by" is a loose definition; it could be driving past it about a mile away) even thinks not unfavorably about abortion."

"You can have freedom of religion, and taxpayer dollars, to boot ... unless it's some wacky religion that worships God. No, we'll allow the taxpayer dollars to fund the religion which coddles child molesters."

"An 'entertainer' like Al Franken shouldn't be considered a serious political voice." - Arnold S, Fred Grandy, Shirley Temple-Black, Ronald Reagan, Ted Nugent, Rush Limbaugh, Chuck Norris, the list goes on and on ...

"Shut up and sing, Dixie Chicks!" - Charlie Daniels ...

6. To me, it's only a matter of semantics

would republicans be throwing the same hisseyfit if it were called something other than a tax?

[freshwest]

8. The tax thing is an excuse. If it weren't a tax, it would be welfare. Gotta find someone to hate.

[Coyotl]

9. They use tax dollars to funnel money to themselves.

The wars are just a conduit for the money transfer. If health car was more profitable, it would be the conduit of choice.

[abolugi]

10. I didn't sign a "no tax" pledge..

If they want to call it a tax its fine with me!

[Spitfire of ATJ]

11. If I had it my way

we would call them out on all of their "fiscal emergency" crap and raise taxes on the rich to 70% over one million dollars a year and 100% to 10 million dollars a year.

Then eliminate payroll taxes for anyone making less than $20,000.

You would hear them go insane but they're doing that now over a 3% increase on the top.

[OnionPatch]

12. This always ticked me off, too!

You never hear anyone acknowledge that we on the left also pay taxes for things we don't want, plenty of them.

[Ghost of Huey Long]

14. most of the things they waste our tax dollars are absurd slush funds for their buddies

If there were one thing I wanted my tax dollars to go to, it would be helping the people of this country live healthy happy lives.


They lied to start a war, killed millions of innocent people, stole from our social security trust fund to pay for tax cuts while they were attacking innocent nations, then started expensive Big Government programs...and they complain about this?

These hypocrites need to be called out on this BS on the not-so-liberal media! And if they are not, stop calling the media liberal. This bullshit has got to stop.

We need a voice here! WE have all the truth on our side, justice waiting to be had...and we are all answering to the corporate money they just stole from US.

[vaberella]

13. The tax is used to bring keep prices around the same

when a non-insured person goes to the doctor...so the insured person doesn't face higher costs to pay those fees off.
