Um. I thought I was pretty clear. I HAVE given up on the social programs.
Let me make sure I understand you correctly. You have given up on social programs, but you still want the government to collect tax money from citizens and throw it at the same programs you have given up on?
If that is indeed what you are saying you want the government to do, is that fiscally responsible? Is it patriotic? Is it rational?
(If I have misunderstood what you are saying in this and previous messages, I would appreciate being corrected . . .)
