i believe in individual liberty. i also believe we do not live in the wild west where we can all strap on six shooters & take out black bart

we have a society. if men were angels we would need no government. since we are not angels, some government is necessary

i worked for about 40 years in the private sector. no handouts from anybody, no welfare, never even got an unemployment check. i worked for 40 years. i paid taxes cause i like cops, firemen, streets not filled with holes. i did not whine about it

nowadays people want their slice of the pie, then be able to retreat to a castle with a moat and guns. life dont work that way. we work together for the common good

the idea that you get all of what you earn and pay nothing for a country to thrive, well, that would be nice. i would like that too. there is no easy answer, no simple solution. well, there are, but they are not workable.

so, yes, the government took some of my property. i could parade around with tea bags dressed like ben franklin, but that would be just stupid
