Hell Yes! I Want "Stuff"! I Want The "Stuff" That My Tax Dollars Pay For!

Yes, I want my SS and Medicare, because I paid for them.

Yes, I want American children to have free public education because when I was their age, adults at the time paid for my education.

Yes, I want top notch, well-trained First Responders because last week, my power was out for 5 days and lives were saved because of them.

Yes, I want paved roads, an FAA to inspect my planes, regulations on bankers so that they don't blow my savings on hookers and blow.

Yes, I want a Single payer system, but given that 48% of my fellow Americans are easily manipulated, I will settle for the ability to buy health insurance without being pre-screened for pre-existing conditions.

So, Yes. I Want Stuff!!

I am gettin irritated with the meme "takers not makers" all they made was a pile of horse shit for us to clean up. I will take back the government by voting these idiots out every 2 years!

..... is just another way for them to talk about that 47% that Romney got in trouble over, and it needs to be pointed out thats what they're doing.

at a price I can AFFORD on my salary. $850 a month on a $34k salary doesn't cut it, there's nothing left to live on after that, I'm hoping to see a much better rate offered in 2014 when the ACA is fully implemented. I don't mind paying for it, we just have to live also, utilities, groceries etc etc etc
