I'm personally sick and tired of the "Liberals" who think we are
spending too much defense. People, we have seriously got to get our
_priorities_straight_! One way to become a conservative is to
_actually_look_at_the_budget_ from the 1960s onward. Screw the TV
media, _go_actually_look_at_the_ ~50 page summary sheets!

Defense spending, including advanced research, is well under 10%
now. Missile defense (and I _dare_ you to challenge me on this) is
costing us peanuts -- plus it accounts for a crapload of DoD
research going on (that benefit other markets). Social services is
close to 2/3rds. Even in the Reagan years, DoD/Research maxed at
~24%, whereas social services was _always_ the majority! The Reagan
administration, with the 1982+ Democratic Congressional majority,
_expanded_ social services _more_ than any other administration!!!

LBJ's "Great Society" is failing, and higher income taxes only mean
the small, individual middle/upper class investor invests less.
Income tax _never_ taxes the "wealthy". Of course, "Liberals" don't
realize this.

If we're going to be a socialist country, let's just go socialism
I'm sick of this facist taxation system we have. And if you think
"facist" is too strong of a word -- go look at the various economic
models. "Facism" is about government controlled private industry.
Right now, we do *NOT* have "privatized" health care, we have
"facist" health care -- and Mr. Teddy K-boy came up with the whole
stupid HMO crap. HMOs were introduced to influence people to adopt
socialized health care.

Better yet, go read the Koran and learn more about Islam. It's a
very capitalistic-friendly religion! ;-PPP
