I already paid taxes on what I have and don't expect to pay more
I think that the latest part of this debate is an excellent example of the mindset that is part and parcel to the nanny state/liberal worldview. When it becomes government's job to take care of the have nots, we find it easier to stop caring about each other as individuals. I don't know how many of you followed my thread about trying to raise money for a friend's prosthesis; but the upshot was that the liberals thought the money should be coming from government agencies, and the consevervatives just gave money for the applaince with no questions asked.
The irony is that the liberals get all the credit for "caring", while it is the conservatives who are actually doing all the "doing".
