"To compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves and abhors, is sinful and tyrannical." ~Thomas Jefferson: Statute of Religious Freedom, 1779

As an 8-member, single-income family, we object strenuously to Fed. government use of our tax dollars for wasteful and morally repugnant programs.

I believe that the entitlement mentality which has developed in some 'cradle-to-grave' sections of society ~resulting from years of Great Society-type Democrat policies that have destroyed initiative; and I'm paranoid enough to consider that it's been done deliberately in order to keep a bunch of government-dependent voters enslaved~ has made them unable to think or act responsibly or independently except to expend just enough energy to crawl to the nearest representative of the 'govinment' & demand a fix for all their problems, preferably now and completely, without any inconvenience. Act of God or no Act of God.
