How can we not worry about paying the bills for others? That’s all we’re doing under this Administration — being ordered to spread the wealth like good little comrades.

Stop spending. Stop sending that extra tax revenue to the politicians (and unions). The more you pay in any kind of taxes, the more you feed the beast.
Help yourself instead. Fix your car rather than buy a new one. You'll need that extra cash sooner then you think. Use every penny you can to get yourself out of debt. Never mind supporting the democrat base. Protect your own family first. Keep your money at home.

Now this I agree with. I think if we all went on a one-year spending freeze, the severe contraction in discretionary consumer spending would make a huge statement on how far we will go to avoid feeding the government beast.

Unfortunately, that would also hurt the real economy. But you can’t fight a battle without taking some hits.
