Media: Who said this?

I’m tired of saving, scrimping, settling for less so that the government can go freakin’ nuts with my money.

    Sounds like someone in a dead end job. Maybe its time to engage in some self improvement and get a better job or do a better job to earn more money, instead of complaining about the government being a source for one’s woes.

    I can only assume it’s a Peoria city resident worried about getting bent over by the council on the hotel and block projects, not to mention the real issues like sewer.

    Mahkno,
    By “Go freaking nuts”, I believe the person means:

    -Bailing out incompetent banks

    -Financing illegal wars

    -Hiring mercenaries…er, private security companies to do the dirty work in the illegal war

    -The space program

    You know, things like that.

    Every damned Libertarian, “don’t use my tax money for anything I don’t want” blogger has used that line over and over and over and over and over and over again. And again.

    Well, Mahkno, open mouth stick in foot. Not in a dead end job, don’t need any self improvement. I guess you must be the type that screams “YIPEE! Good For them! Here is my money, have at it” everytime some identity wants to raise sales tax, property taxes and the like to benefit whatever cause they deem necessary at any cost. How about the government show some fiscal responsibility and frugality for a change. How do you feel about Congress giving themselves a $4700 raise? Is that enough?
    And yes, Prego, I’m a Libertarian. And like most people I probably would like to see my tax dollars spent on things I deem most necessary. But that will never happen. Are you filled with sheer joy and excitement with every decision that is made to where your tax dollars are going?
