My basic philosophy of government is very different from yours. I believe the government should exist to help people. And I appreciate all that the government does for me. And I don't mind one bit paying taxes so that my government can help its people. Nothing will change my basic philosophy of the way I see government and how it should work. I truly understand though, that many people are upset about paying taxes and how that tax money is spent. Sometimes I don't agree with how my tax money is spent, but you can't please everyone all the time, just not possible.

I am very proud of my government and some of its accomplishments: Social Security, Workers Compensation, the 40 hour week, child labor laws, Medicare, collective bargaining, civil rights, religious freedom, food regulations, environmental protection, tolerant imigration policies policies, just to name a few.

Of course, nothing is perfect and I do not like the war and I wish we had health care for all. I know though, that things are not perfect and never will be.

That is what is great about this country - you can be/think/do just about anything you want. Agree/disagree it's all great!

When the government gets involved its nothing but trouble, agree or not, mark my words, this "spending package" is not going to work, you have GM there with there hands out again for more money!!! what are we suppose to carry them forever???
