You keep saying that the government is stealing. Please explain how the government is "stealing" by enacting programs that you disagree with. The tax base is no one person's private piggy bank. Not every citizen supports every bill that the government enacts. That's what it means to live in a Republican Democracy: Representatives are chosen by the people to decide and approve what gets spent on their behalf. This is not theivery. This is called government.

For all the morality that gets claimed by the religious right in this country, the very morals Christ tried to impart are frighteningly absent in their politics.
