"Since when did my pursuit of happiness mean I MUST give money and restrict my activities so that someone else can work less and just have happiness given to them? "

That sounds like you don't like our form of government because our government restricts what you do and collects taxes to do what it wilt. How well or how badly it does this is determined on election day.

I said nothing about our form of Government; rather, it is the apparent willingness of a majority of the populace right now (and that includes a LOT of FReepers) who prefer socialism and communist approaches over the Rights we received from our Creator.

You want to have your neighbors dictate what you can do with your life, and what you must do with the fruits of your labor?
