"In the beginning of a change, the Patriot is a scarce man, brave, hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, however, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a Patriot."
Cissy hates it that HE is the one who wants to steal everyone's money to pay for his services... The services that he uses every day but wants the rest of us to pay for. Poor Cicero... He won't stop using OUR services, and he whines daily about how much he has to pay for OUR Govt... but he won't stop using our services. Cissy... Don''t use OUR roads, use YOURS. Don't drink OUR water. Drink YOURS. Don't flush YOUR toilet into OUR sewer system... create your own.
The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness. John Kenneth Galbraith

If I truly thought the government would stop stealing money to pay for "services" I wouldn't use, I wouldn't use them. You know that the government doesn't stop taking your money whether you use the "services" or not. Cmon box, let's be realistic.

Cicero is worried that HIS MONEY might be used for the benefit of OTHERS!
Cissy being a "ME" has no use for any of HIS ME MONEY being spend on anyone else.

Who's my labor supposed to benefit? Everybody EXCEPT me? I'm glad to see you and box life's purpose is to bailout corporate bankers, pay for illegal wars, and provide foreign aid to countries like Saudi Arabia and Libya. Good job fellas!
My labor is supposed to benefit ME, ME, ME and only ME, of course? Why would I lift a finger to help others!!!! I'm glad my taxes support the bailout of corporations and banks, pay for foreign conflicts intended to attack terrorists where they live, and provide foreign aid to other countries around the world.

JUST BECAUSE SISSY SAYS SO DOESN'T MAKE IT SO...BUT HE THINKS IT DOES!!!!! JUST BECAUSE MC1 SAYS SO DOESN'T MAKE IT SO!!!!!
In America, libertarian ideas are attractive to mostly young, white men with high ideals and no life experience that live off of the previous generation’s investments and sacrifice.
I know this because as a young, white idiot, I subscribed to this system of discredited ideas: Selfishness is good, government is bad. Take what you want, when you want and however you can. Poor people deserve what they get, and the smartest, hardworking people always win. So get yours before someone else does. I read the books by Charles Murray and have an autographed copy of Ron Paul’s “The Revolution.” The thread that links all the disparate books and ideas is that they fail in practice.
Eliminate all taxes, privatize everything, load a country up with guns and oppose all public expenditures, you end up with Honduras.

The Gold Standard "The complex mechanisms of the modern world depend as certainly on the faith in money as the structures of the medieval world depended upon faith in God." - Lewis H. Lapham, author and editor One of the long-standing myths about modern currency is that it is backed by the U.S. gold supply in Fort Knox. That is, you can trade your greenback dollars to the U.S. government for the equivalent amount of gold bullion at any time. At one point, this was true of most paper currencies in the world. However, the U.S. took away the government backing of the dollar with an actual gold supply (known as leaving the gold standard) in 1971, and every major international currency has followed suit. The obvious question is, "Without gold, what does guarantee the value of our money?" The answer is: nothing at all. The only reason a dollar, or a franc, or a Euro has any value is because we have a stable system in which people are known to accept these pieces of paper in return for something valuable. Or, as Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman puts it, "the pieces of green paper have value because everybody thinks they have value."
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
