You don't agree with their social values, but on economic matters you're as backward as they are.

i don't think anyone is on my side. those folks only say/ do what they think will get them elected. my best bet economically is for the govt to stay the hell out of my pocket. i pay federal and state income tax, and then property tax, and also personal property tax. on top of that, sales tax in most communities here is 10.5%. it's ridiculous. as is the fact that pulaski county schools (for example) pay over 5k per year PER STUDENT to the school district. where do they get all that? wouldn't vouchers and private school work better? and if thinking everyone should go to work (like i do) and pay for themselves (like i do) and not think social security can be relied on someday when the time comes, then i guess i am backward. so be it.
but i sure would appreciate if you give me another example of a social program i pay for that helps my quality of life.
