A. You can't fund a government without taxes.
B. Bush's last budget was $3.1 trillion and DIDN'T include the costs of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Obama's is $3.6 trillion, completely accounts for the Stimulus Bill, the two wars, and the TARP Funds.
C. Obama is taxing those in the upper most income brackets at a rate LOWER than Reagan did during his administrations. Thus, according to the standards of these "Conservative Tea-Baggers," Reagan was much more a socialist than Obama.
D. Apparently Texans want to cede from the U.S. No offense to my Texas-based friends, but I say let them. They will significantly drop the number of executions on record for the U.S. and help swing the rest of the country to a more progressive mindset. I see few downsides. Well, the Mexican drug cartels might end up taking over Texas, but there are enough guns in that state to put up a damn-good fight.
E. The funniest thing about this is that the majority of those polled have no problem with the government spending money and people paying more in taxes. The Tea-baggers are the minority...which makes sense because they lost the elections in 08. TS for them.
