The reich wings "freedom" is really freedom from taxation and a desire to live in lala land.
I'm sure DU'ers have often heard it from the right, a fundie family member or a teabagger. Or RushduetoOxy, Beck, Alex Jones- the mouthpieces of hate.

That Nov 4th was an "assault" or an "affront" to their "freedoms". Or the Obama is a threat to their freedoms and to old time religion 'Mercka.

Is dealing with the outcome of democracy really that painful for them? Painful enough to form militias and talk of revolution to overthrow democracy.

Yet, ask them to cite specific proposed legislation, ask them to cite a bill in congress, or a law already signed by the President that threatens any of their current existing freedoms.

Where are the laws that threaten their freedoms? They don't exist, THAT'S WHERE.

As far as their desire to live in a tax free lala land. We already have a name for those types of nations. We call them 3RD WORLD NATIONS.

Taxes pay for the Authoritarians Tool Kit.
1. The Military-Industrial Complex. AKA our "Defense" Budget or the War Machine. The #1 largest sector of ALL government spending from 1982-2008. Responsible for 75% of America's $14 Trillion debt.

2. Prisons. Is the reich wing willing to free murderers and rapists to shudder our Prisons? Prisons are a gigantic cost to build and maintain. Pay for them or close them 'wingers. And no whinin' when a freed rapist moves in next door to ya, reich wingnuts.

3. The Authoritarian Defense Force, AKA the POLICE. Required to beat down and intimidate the left. Police cost money. Maintaining our Police force is a huge cost to our nation. It costs money to beat the fuck out of the left. So reich wingnuts, be willing pay for it.

4. The street/road/highway/Interstate HW system. Not exactly a "tool" in the RW kit. But RW'es sure do love to use our big gubmint, socialist highway system. Roads have long become a gigantic expenditure for Natl, State, and Local governments. So RW'ers, protest big gubmint by staying the fuck off our roads. In a nation with 73,000 structurally deficient or failing bridges, road funding will become one of the largest sectors of Govt spending. The tab to fix our bridges alone is estimated into the Trillions of dollars. That's just our bridges. Our roads are another matter. Trillion$ more to maintain them in coming decades.

The Reich Wing has become too expensive for our nation to maintain. And yet, these fucksticks think we can live in a tax free lala land?

Hating your nation enough to de-fund it is truly unpatriotic. It's the framework of the Reich Wing's ideology.

There is NOTHING patriotic about de-funding a government for the people, by the people.

If the Reich Wing can't handle the outcomes of democracy then why live in a democracy? It costs money to live in a civilized society. It is a gigantic expenditure to maintain a civilized society. It costs too much money to maintain a Reich Wing society. Almost ALL of America's debt is the result of 3 irresponsible, greedy Warpigs. Ronny Ray-Gun, Pappy and Jr Bush. 3 men who are forever stains on American history.

To the Reich Wing, be willing to pay your taxes to live in civilized America or GET THE FUCK OUT!

America is already by far the lowest taxed nation among industrialized nations. If we raise taxes on the wealthy to 45% we'd still be by far the lowest taxed nation. Another reason why tax avoiders need to get the fuck out.

Taxes are Patriotic.

1. I'd just argued this with a right wing friend.

I kept asking him for a source to back up his argument and his only reply was. "I heard it from Rush."

Jeebus these people are brainwashed sheep.
