dissention:
Spoken like a true Republican. Private sector paying for things that should be public. Less government money, more "personal responsibility." Sorry, I was always under the impression that the government should look out for the best interests of it's citizens. Head Start and such programs have always been public, why shouldn't they be? Maybe we should spend more tax dollars for Bush to fly around in his jet instead of such valuable and important programs?

There you go again....
I never said the government should abandon social programs altogether, and there are plenty of them still out there to take care of the needy. Some needing more reform like SS and Welfare. What's wrong with voluntarily donating money to charities? IT SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED!! Seems like the right way to do it in a CAPITALIST society. Bottom line is I'm sick of the government picking my pockets clean. I look at my check every week and what I pay in taxes is just outrageous. There has to be a limit, unless of course you want to live in a socialist society...I don't. And there's plenty of waste/pork in government and the dollars for Bush flying around in his plane are a drop in the bucket in comparison.
