Nomo, I get paid through fee for service, like PGE, not tax based in any way. Just so you know. lol. Most water/sewer/garbage employees are not paid by taxation, but rather for a service. The lack of competition requires the depts to operate as a non-profit type of deal. But, if I did work in a public funded area I would stand by my point - at least I think I would.
Hitler ..... not a big fan. He was smarter than Lord Barry ..... or the media of his time did an even better job of production than today's poop-grinders do for Lord Barry. Did Hitler have a DeadFish working for him publicly?

We have a lot of ignorant racists in this country, but we also already have sufficient diversity ( and even pride in our diversity, at least in the blue states ) such that a racist type of fascism like Hitler's could never happen here.

The corporatist type of fascism though, that Mussolini practiced and that Hitler claimed to be ( to obtain power ), that was the direction that many liberals felt and said we were heading under Bush. Maybe some of the wacky things that Glenn Beck and other like minded entertainers say is more or less payback for that.

Economically literate people understand that government spending is really taxpayer spending. Therefore taxpayers should be the ones who decide how to spend the money, if at all. As a result voting should be restricted to those who pay taxes.
Non-taxpayers will ALWAYS vote for the politician who offer the most hand-outs...won't they?
Non-taxpayers have no skin in the game...do they?
Non-taxpayers will NEVERÂ vote for policies which help fix America's problems, if it means less to them...will they?
Economically illerate people understand that taxes reduce the available pool of (1) savings and (2) investment capital. A country with "savers" is and indication of a stable country, as opposed to an unstable country. And investment capital is what allows businesses to open or expand. Samll businesses account for about 95% of the jobs in America. And why is it when a city, state, or even the Federal Government wants to stimulate jobs the first thing they offer is tax breaks ? (BTW it can't work BOTH ways).
And while I'm at it, why have we allowed politicians to pass laws to which THEY are NOT subject to ????? Or is it that: "All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others".
 More Doublespeak = Government spending means taxpayer spending
Department of War means Defense Department
Evil Capitalists means small business owners who provide jobs
 OK kiddies - time to wake up, this is going on all around you,  but many either ignore it, or even worse, support it.
