Define "support". For example, do you support your tax dollars being used to pay for, say, Andorran Firefighters? I'm sure you'd agree that fighting fires in Andorra needs to be done. The question is, do you think YOU should pay for it? Or your neighbors? See that's the real question. Every American has a responsibity to his fellow American to be judicious in allocating public resources; i.e., tax dollars. Being smart enough to favor tax dollars only for those things that truly serve the American people rather than the individual. Problem is, everyone tries to turn that into some type of subjective thing. It's not. I work to make money. The gov't takes my money and spends it. I want accountability on how it's spent. That means every dollar should have a business case and it better be equal or positive. Iraq does not have a positive or equal business case. Thus anyone who supports it, supports throwing tax dollars into the shitter. If you don't support throwing tax dollars into the shitter, then you don't support Iraq. Period. Feel free to send money to the Iraqi police. Feel free to overpay your taxes. But don't ask your neighbors to pay for YOUR discretionary spending. That's irresponsible. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:266354 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
