Yes, I agree to some people it is that simple. I agree that we should get more of our money back and teach the goverment how to be fiscally responsible. Pay attention to where our tax dollars go and cut speding on worthless programs. You and I might disagree on what programs to cut, but I bet there would be some middle ground, so let's start there. Our government wastes alot of money, I don't think anyone would disagree with that. But let's make the government learn to live off of what they have, cut spending and send some money back my way. After all, I earned it.
