My God in heaven, GR, I don't think the Epistle to the Romans was as lengthy.

But I shall try and respond with a bit more brevity to some of your more outrageous comments.

The Federal Government should pay back to SS and Medicare all the money it "borrowed" from those programs. Those funds should have gone into a special account instead of a general fund where they were just frittered away on programs other than what hard workers were forced to pay into. Have you ever taken into consideration the number of people who paid into these program but died before they had time to collect and no one benefits from that money?!~

You call me an uninformed voter? Why? Because I don't agree with liberal claptrap? I pride myself with being very well informed from local politics right on up to voting for the POTUS. So, if you want to convince me of the error of my ways or a way of looking at your point of view, don't insult me. If I'm as stupid or ignorant as you make me out to be, why the heck are you spending time arguing with me.

The VAT will be in addition to all the other taxes we already pay. The Flat Tax (edit - not Flat Tax; I mean the Fair Tax) would be the only tax. Got it?!~

Reagan spent wisely. We would be long recovered from that spending if Clinton hadn't tore down the military to balance his budget, and then Bush had to respend in inflated year 2000 - 2008 $$$'s to rebuild.

The Healthcare Plan is not a government program?????

Let me see if I've got this straight. We're being gifted with a health care plan written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that hasn't read it but exempts themselves from it, signed by a President who also hasn't read it, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, to be overseen by a surgeon general who has weight problems, and financed by a country that's broke. Those of us with healthcare are going to get less healthcare but pay more, and those who have no health care will wait years before they do get it, but they'll be paying for it in the meantime. IRS will increase in size, as to the number of employes, to monitor everyone.

I'm sure I left a LOT out.

What the hell could possibly go wrong?

"I got mine, f*ck the rest of you all." What the ....?

Just to inform you about something that you are tragically unaware, conservatives are the biggest supporters and contributors to charities - something that Obama doesn't want to see happen anymore. No - he wants to take more of our paychecks and retirement checks and decide where the money will be donated. So spare me the false accusations of miserly, stingy, and uncaring conservatives. Truly just about the most classless, callous, untrue accusation I've seen in print in this entire debate about left vs. right. Nobody handed me what I have. My husband and I worked long and hard so we're not on the dole in our retirement. You'll pardon me if I just don't want to hand off what I have to some people who just want it because they think they are due and the government owe them.

GR - if you're going to come at me with your holier than thou, know more than me attitude, you better have better ammunition because, for the most part, you're shooting blanks.
