Primitive believes gov't came before people

I just drove past a car in front of the public library covered in Tea Party stickers like "I don't need the government, it needs me!"

I'm sorry, but doesn't that seem pretty ******* hypocritical?

I really don't have much else to say, it just pissed me off.

"I don't need the government, it needs me!"

Let's examine this more closely.

Who pays for the things you're saying the gov't provides?

Wrong! Taxpayers do!

And who are the taxpayers? The same people of whom the bumpersticker refers to as "me."

So who needs who? Do I need the gov't more, or does it need me more? Because, you see, without "Me" and a whole bunch of other "Me's," there is no gov't. However, even if there is no gov't, there's still "me."

You primitives have to have the most simple of concepts explained to you. Please try and grow up one day, would you?

You are an idiot.

Sounds like it's time for R's to take a year off and not pay any taxes.
They could go on unemployment or collect welfare, food stamps and get free healthcare.

You have nothing to lose but your chains.

6. They have zero clue as to what a true government is, or it's true function.
 
That is why they will keep getting used by the 1%.
