[Sci-Fi]

It's for you to do your own work and refute my figures with something other than feelings. Past that, the mixed up thing is on your part as that comes into play applicable to the military budget.

The freebie playhouse or as some like to call it, the United States of America, is made up of more than just things like 250 dollar tennis shoes, free food, free health care and free cell phones for all. Some of us have to pay taxes in order to provide all that and then there is the country to run. Part of running the country according to the Constitution, is to provide for the 'common defense' of the land. More in detail for the sake of argumentative libs is as follows; "the Constitution promised that the new national government would protect every state and every citizen within the nation" from threats foreign and domestic.

Laying aside for the moment the fact that these guarantees and privileges are inexplicably now extended to those comprising the flood of illegal immigrants over which oversight is presently provided by our own government; Flood waters are nonetheless an example of things which are "overwhelming." Flood walls and levees on the other hand, are examples of things which hold back flood waters thusly preventing them from overwhelming those who live behind such conveniences. Now I know that for La-La-Landers such as yourself, the idea that there are military and other threats to our existence from enemies foreign and domestic, is as foreign an idea as going to work in the morning in pursuit of one's self sufficiency. Notwithstanding, most people understand and agree that a strong military is one of the prime requisites for America's continued existence. Said existence again, is not provided for by those who do not contribute anything to the 'common good' via tax dollars OR military service BTW, and as such the freedoms and safety provided constitute two of the more remarkable freebies for the poor that we're talking about.

What's so bad about these necessities that are provided by the government? Would you rather us be a land where people starve? Plus you mention freedom and safety, without the government we wouldn't have either. They defend our rights and they are the provider of our safety for over 200 years.
