Let me start by saying that I'm not trying to start anything. I just want to hear a Democrat's explanation on the issue.
Why are Democrats so in favor of spending when it comes to other people's money? Isn't that essentially what "tax the rich" does? If it's someone else's money, it's pretty easy to spend, right? Is that it?
Also part of that question is, do you think there is a limit to the national debt that you would consider that we can't go beyond? And if there is a limit, would you consider cutting spending on social programs or do you think we can just eliminate defense altogether to cover "social justice"?
Or do you think we just need to keep raising taxes to cover whatever you want to spend? Is there a limit to the taxes you're willing to make people who aren't you, pay?
And it's not that all Republicans are all that great at frugality. But really, a few now hated Republicans are the only people in Congress that advocate that we truly reign in spending.
Your president says we don't have a spending problem. We have a revenue problem. Can you really justify that statement?
Democrats confuse government with charity. It's that simple. They cannot separate the two and have no understanding of the nature of government or the power it possesses. They believe that we should help people with your money and if you are against that then you are a greedy capitalist and will try to take your money and property for your own good.
