    Hello darkness, my old friend
    If you had bothered to read your own link, you'd see that it actually supports what I've been saying.

    Well. I can't be expected to read my own link. Taxes are a larger percentage of GDP since 2006. Jon Stewart and Barney Frank are lying.

    More barfo-math. As I've pointed out to you in multiple threads, if you look at pages 24 and 57 of that link, you'll see the itemized budget of the Military Parade Discretionary Fund (MPDisF) which was counted as a tax for FEC purposes but was clearly a voluntary usage fee. More than a little disingenuous to add it to tax burden, especially since it's not even considered a part of the GDP.

    So you are in favor of spending $13T on welfare moms? If you eliminated that $13T ($23T counting congressional franking privileges), you could fund 134 technology companies, each employing 100 people unable to function in society at large. And that's not counting the benefit from forcing those welfare moms to go back to college (at Phoenix or DeVry) to learn to weld.

    Moreso than giving it to welfare CEOs.

    That sounds like a pretty large effect in a nation of several hundred million people.

    But when do the welfare CEOs get to learn to weld?

    That's class warfare. You should be ashamed of something.

    It's not because most of those people are unemployed due to the $800T failed stimulus bill.

    They are patriots, they know how to weld.
