Selfish Republicans!

Lets face it - taxes suck! Do I want to continue paying? Of course I do, but I must stress that our government needs to use our hard earned money more wisely. I don't want it spent on things that do not make our country stronger and more prepared to face an ever changing future. Those days of spending $20,000 on a hammer should be over. We need to hold members of congress more accountable in how they squander our money.

Now I want to talk about Republicans. During this Presidential campaign both candidates have used taxes as one of their points on how to fix the current economic crisis we are going through - from Wall Street to Main Street.

They each have their own take on helping out the middle class, but I won't get into all the details in this rant.

What I do want to talk about is how selfish I think Republicans have been. They seem to be getting worse.

Throughout the Republican rallies one of the many messages the MCain/Palin ticket pushes is 'Country First!' I am all for Country First. What pisses me off is how hypocritical they are. They stand there screaming 'Country First!' but at the same time complain about not wanting to pay taxes.

How often do we hear McCain yell out how Obama wants to 'spread the wealth'? They eat that shit up!!

So let me ask these Republicans: How do you expect to improve our infrastructure, our roads, continue funding the two wars we are engaged in, take care of our veterans, improve our education system and fix the current state of our broken health care system? Taxes!!! That's how you idiots!!

I reiterate: Taxes Suck! Lets be honest, no one really likes to pay them, but again I ask, "How do you expect our country to be more prepared and become stronger?!?" Are Republicans really that selfish?!? It seems that they are.
