The Federal budget is out of control, is that silly?
The cutting has to start somewhere. Is that silly?
I have said many times that the Telemarketers are a pain. For the life of me I can not comprehend why you would even ask If you like being solicited, just post your email addy and you'll get your wish. But leave me out of it! unless you are purposefully not reading what I have said. My argument against the "Do Not Call" law has nothing to do with likeing telemarketers, and everything to do with starting somewhere in taming the government.
I suppose to some people cutting the government is "fantastically silly". Maybe they do no pay enough in taxes... beats me.
Tell me, then, what is the purpose of government?
What's legit?
The list is paid for by the fees charged to telemarketers. How would getting rid of it cut the federal budget?
Well, then, withdraw all police protection from telemarketers. That will save money, and the problem will soon be solved permanently by private action on the part of citizens.
