Can We Shake Things Up Here - How About Government Is Dependent On Me....

and you and you and you. We the taxpayers. Without out us paying sales tax, property tax, income tax, state taxes, county taxes, SS taxes, gas taxes, phone taxes, cable taxes, etc, etc, etc - there would be no government.

There wouldn't be money to pay for infrastructure or any of the elected officials that we vote for to run our government.

So when Mitt Rmoney says that Obama supporters are dependent on government - I think it's the other way around.

Government is dependent on Obama supporters, Rmoney supporters, Paul supporters, etc - us taxpayers in general.

Republicans have this mindset that everything they have is because of what they have done. They ignore the fact that someone elses hands built everything they have.

All they can see is the $ sign, and since they have 99% of the $$ that is all they see. I guess they think they can eat $$?

We provide the grease that keeps it rolling by contributing the money and our votes.
