I like to tell people that Momma raised ugly kids, not dumb kids. Turning down free money is dumb, and a tax cut is as free as money gets.
I have another question - do you think there are many right-wingers who are actually fiscally conservative, or better yet fiscally responsible?
Or all they all just selfishly greedy without a care for the consequences?
You say greedy, I say pragmatic. There comes a time when fighting is just too hard. I am fiscally responsible and fiscally conservative. I pay my bills on time, do not usually run a deficit and have enough to put some in the savings account for a rainy day (or a vacation).
I refuse to be shamed. You don't want free money, send it my way and I will take your share too. I have no say in how my taxes are spent, if I did we would be paying much less in taxes. My representatives in congress do not share my fiscal conservancy, as a matter of fact, they are the exact opposite of what I believe in.
If they want to return some of my tax contributions, I will take the money and run. You should do the same, because if you really believe that the government will be there for you when you need it, I have some beach front property in Iowa. I will show it to you on an app.
