A lot of people these days are complaining about government being too big or too out of control.

To counter that, a lot of people are saying that we have fewer government employees per capita now than ever before, and federal spending as a percentage of GDP is lower than ever before.

Part of the problem is that the people who are costing you so much money aren't the poor, but the rich who are taking more and more out of the economy and hoarding it to themselves. Income inequality is the problem. Your wage stagnation is the fault of the wealthy whose incomes have increased exponentially while yours has remained flat. They do not "work" for their money; they let their money "work" for them and that includes buying politicians and funding astroturf "movements" like the Tea Party.

You are not told the truth, which is that your tax dollars are by far being given to the wealthiest in no-bid military contracts. The poor get crumbs by comparison. Those welfare recipients lead meaningless lives and their adventures consist of dodging bullets in the 'hood. Your real enemy if you aspire to become or remain middle class is the wealthy bastards who want it all to themselves.

That kind of proves my point.

What you just said is what people tell me as an argument for why I am wrong to say what I say, but you just agreed with me.

The objects of my statement include "I don't have enough money", "rich people are demanding I give up what little I have", and "I'm told I need to give up even more of my time to cover the people who are not giving up their time."

The Democrats who want to argue that with me would do better to actually recognize the objects of what I am saying, explain to me that they're going to fix it, and then actually proceed to do so.

To dress up agreement as an argument and tell me I'm wrong while agreeing with me just tells me I need to take my vote elsewhere.

If you believe yourself to be wealthy, then you are. Wealth is not computed by money alone. I have a large wealth of knowledge and intelligence, so I consider myself wealthy ( ... )
