Today's Talking Point

[lollardfish]

"It's your money!" - Ah, the cry of the Republicans when they talk about taxes.

But it's also "your money" when no-bid contracts are given to corrupt corporate cronies who overcharge AND underperform.

It's also "your money" when it's squandered on 'pork-barrel' projects.

It's also "your money" that has kept Michael Brown (late FEMA director Brownie) on the government payroll as a 'consultant.'

It's also "your money" that pays Congress hefty salaries to work two days a week.

It's also "your money" that will, someday, have to deal with this deficit.

I have a crazy cousin (he's like 80 now) in England who has gone to jail many times for refusing to pay taxes unless the government would assure him none of it went to the military.
