Taxes do not provide utilities.
The call for lower taxes does not mean abolish all government services.

All you need is a police officer standing watch over the scene to complete the picture.

And Heir ... I believe that one sign clearly reads, "NO TAXES".

And Heir ... I believe that one sign clearly reads, "NO TAXES".Actually it says, "Zero Taxes" but point taken.


The one that really cracks me up is the sign that says "Cut Taxes Not Defense". Apparently the "moran" believes the Pentagon gets its money from the Magic Armament Fairy.

"Taxes do not provide utilities."You sure about that?

First, it would be moron, not moran.

Second, the sign is 100% spot-on.

Barack Hussein Obama, "The One", "The Messiah", is and will cut Defense to further his Socialist agenda and funnel funds to certain programs without doing much, if anything, to revive the economy.

You liberals.. oh, I mean "progressives" simply so not underatand that less of a tax burden on corporations and individuals will lead to growth.

I know for a fact, that in my current situation as a minority shareholder (for you "morans" that means less than 50%, not that I'm black, hispanic, female, gay, queer, cross-gender, etc.), the majority shareholder will be "killed" by the higher taxes and, consequently, has halted any and all investment required to sustain or grow our business.

Nice. Put us out of business and good employees on unemployment. I've fought for my employees for many years, especially recently.

Then again, Barack Hussein Obama wants us all to be wards of the state.

I doubt that any of the liberals, oh I mean "progressives", actually have been or are executives or have been an Owner in a real business would understand.

Community organizers like Barack Hussein Obama agitate and want to feed class warfare.

Woops, a few typos. LOL. I take back my critcism re: the "moran" matter... seems as though I had a few too many Yuenglings!

Otherwise, I stand by the my comment.

"The call for lower taxes does not mean abolish all government services." But the services conservatives want to abolish are the ones that protect ordinary people. Or did we draw the wrong conclusion from Enron's actions in a deregulated energy market in California? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_electricity_crisis)

The picture should have also included the Medicare and Social Security that the seniors in the picture are receiving.

They were probably the first to complain that the government should have done more to combat swine flu.

Gates, a Republican, is cutting the defense budget so it makes sense. We don't need to waste billions on new fighter jets to take on Pirates and Terrorists, for example. Why is that bad?
