Raising taxes in Washington

I just read an article about how the budget has been cut by about 3 billion dollars. After I read this article I read some comments left by people and I just had to laugh. People are so naive when it comes to money. You don't want your taxes raised, yet, you continue to vote for an irresponsible governor. Gregoire's leadership, or should I say, lack there of, is embarassing our state and she single handedly is responsible for the economic disaster in our state, period.

Cut, cut, cut, cut the pork out of the budget. Shrink our state government, cut the fat, yeah, you useless extra employees on the government teet. Let's get rid of all the wasteful agencies in our state, let's combine redundant (useless) agencies into one and then get rid of those employees that you don't need. Hooray for this opportunity to reduce the size of government.

The government is not supposed to solve every one or your problems. I get so sick and tired of all the bs that the party that is responsible for all of this mess has gotten a pass. I can't wait for Obama to take office to see how overnight the papers will be reporting vastly improved economy due to the messiah's presence, and in reality it will just be due to the fact that they are now reporting the good news that they had been covering up, ignoring during the last few months of President Bush's term in office. Who will they hate then? What will these un-americans do when they can't disrespect the Office of the President.

We should bring back a mandatory draft in this country and force every abled-bodied person to serve 2 years. We could use them to do community service type things, if they were not needed in the field. Only those that have truly served have earned the right to truly bitch about anything in this country. Until you have served your country in some capacity you can just shut the hell up. Our country is on the slow spiral to the end. True-Patriotism is dying in America. People don't want to be bothered with the effort. They don't want to really participate in the process, only to bitch about it or wonder why every problem can't be fixed instantly, like there video on-demand.

I know that I would gladly move out of this state in a nano second if I were able, and I would leave the US of A just as quickly and I doubt I would look back. Can you imagine a place where Jesus is ignored and shunned, I can. It is called Washington State, and the US is not far behind. We keep allowing the microscopic minorties to dictate policy in our country. To think that Christmas is attacked yearly, more and more, but those same bastards have no problem taking advantage of the holidays and making as much money as they can. What is it with Atheist? Are they just jealous of the attention that Jesus and God get? I mean, I just don't get it. I could give a rip if you believe in God or not. Fine. Who cares. But why do they keep trying to put down people that do believe? Atheist are one of the worst groups of selfish people on the planet. Sort of stands to reason, though, if you think about it a second. Mr. Atheist, believe whatever you want. I will do the same and we can co-exist wonderfully. I won't tell you what I think of your beliefs and you can do the same for my beliefs. Isn't that the way we are supposed to live?

It is funny they believe that religion hardens hearts. That has got to be one of the most ignorant things I have read. These people really are people that just don't want to have any constraints on what they do. No responsibility, no morals, just me, me, me. But why do they care if other people want to live by some restraint, some compassion, so order. It is mind-numbing to think that this small minority has more say than the over-whelming super majority of people in the country's opinion. I mean, if 75%, 85%, 90% of the people want to have Christmas celebrations then how can that be unconstitutional? The will of the people is being undermined and dismissed by courts all over our country.

What a shame we couldn't bring back the morals and responsibility of the 50s, hell, I would take the 60s.
