Quote for the day!
"You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation.
You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."

:goodpost: I get sick and tired of people talking about how the government is going to help fund projects with government money. Wake up America the government has no money. That so called goverment money belongs to the hard working Americans who pay taxes, and I am tired of seeing my tax dollars being used to help lazy bums who who won't get off their A$$ and go to work. KEEP WORKING AND PAYING TAXES MILLONS ON WELFARE AND MILLONS OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS DEPEND ON YOU.:bs: :bs: :bs:

In the socialist state of Kalifornia, we're really getting bent over. Our government just imposed higher state taxes against us in this down economy with people losing jobs. Sales tax has been raised 1%, car registration fees will probably double and we'll get hit with higher taxes on payday. Much of this will probably backfire with many making purchases out of state.

That is how Obama wants it to be nationwide.
