voted on by the people. they were voted on by the people who want a slice of the treasury. DEMOCRATS.
they have voted for the people who will GIVE THEM a slice of that treasury (our money) and will ask nothing in return except their continued votes.
so, while we dole out millions to the non-productive, those that pay the taxes are forced to foot the bill for every liberal spending proposal that comes down the pike.
when democrats are faced with actually CUTTING taxes, they cringe, shout, threaten, and generally have a bad attitude about the world.
they blame everyone but themselves for the mess we are in, and expect everyone to blindly accept their continued excesses so that they can fulfill the promises they made to the left leaning non productive masses in the big cities.
