Is it just me, or does there seem to be a lot more right-wingers on this board?

Some of us were lifelong Democrats (me) who are sick and tired of being taxed to pay for people who don't want to work or are here illegally. I just can't have the same political views as those people. I need to work against that.

Personally I'd rather pay taxes for a Mexican child to get medical needs then to have taxes go to war where some Iraqi kids are harmed by the fighting...

The fact is no one is ever going to fully accept where tax dollars are spent 100%. And I don't believe in DRASTIC differences in taxation between the two sides. It's a political tool Republicans use to win elections and that simple minded folks (like my dear ol' Dad) fall for every time.

One thing I do know is that in the 12 years I was conscious enough to pay attention my parents didn't complain about taxes under the Clinton years. It wasn't until the Bush years where they had no money were the complaints about taxes made.
