NEAT! I want stuff TOO.

I want stuff.

I want to be able to go into the gold room at Bremer's palace in Baghdad with two large tote bags and stuff them with stacks of crisp unused hundred dollar bills.

I want a supply contract to the Pentagon with a no limits purchasing order, and a fixed percentage on top and no oversight when I buy useless worn out Polish helicopters for the Iraqis, sell them to myself with a generous 100x price hike, and then sell them on to the Transitional Authority with a bonus.

I want reduced taxes, subsidies and benefits, as well as promises from the state I choose to establish my company in to supply me with free land, infrastructure and power subsidy.
I want my own politicians, to ensure I get even more stuff.

I want no consumer protection, I want the EPA to evaporate, I want micron-large government regulatory bodies, and I want to be allowed to thrash the economy if it suits my investment plans, without risking jail for having done so, and with the tax payers bailing me out afterwards.
Hey - I want government to allow me to privatize my profit and socialize my losses. Neat.

Food stamps are what we liberals use to buy cigarettes and methadone.
