I'm sitting here on a rubber donut with Extra-strength Ora-gel dripping from my raw and bleeding ass after a particularly vigorous and extremely gritty session with the "Green Wienie". NO, I'm not talking about some weird sexual perversion, I'm talking about TAXATION WITHOUT LUBRICATION!!!

I would swear our founding fathers fought and won a war to free us from this shit! Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't mind giving a reasonable amount of financial help to our government to cover the necessary expenditures. I am, however, outraged at being fucked out of my hard-earned pay and watching it get pissed away on stupid shit.

Here are just a few examples of what I'm talking about;

• $25 million for the International Fund for Ireland.
• $14 million for the Hollings Marine Laboratory in Charleston, S.C.
• $8.4 million for the Magdalena Ridge Observatory in New Mexico.
• $5.67 million for wood utilization research.
• $2 million for kilns in south-central and southeastern Alaska.
• $2 million for the Vulcan Monument in Birmingham, Ala.
• $1.5 million contained in the Defense appropriations bill for a large millimeter wavelength telescope.
• $1.1 million for MountainMade in Thomas, W.Va. to educate artists and craftspeople.
• $1 million for the Southern New Mexico Fair and Rodeo in Dona Ana County for a multi-purpose events center.
• $1 million for the Hollings Cancer Center at the Medical University of South Carolina.
• $850,000 for the University of Mississippi Foundation in Oxford for their education and preservation programs at Rowan Oak, the home of William Faulkner.
• $750,000 for the University of Idaho to preserve the history of jazz and teach it to future generations.
• $740,000 to complete the Lancaster, Calif. National Soccer Center.
• $500,000 for the Washington D.C. Sports and Entertainment Commission with the U.S. Soccer Foundation for environmental and infrastructure costs at Kenilworth Field.
• $450,000 for Pacific tropical ornamental fish research.
• $450,000 to restore Cumberland Island chimneys in Georgia.
• $450,000 for the Curry County Fairgrounds in New Mexico for infrastructure improvements.
• $420,000 to give each student a laptop computer at Hawthorne Elementary and Junior High School in Nevada.
• $400,000 for exchange programs that will build linkages between American and foreign musicians.
• $273,000 to combat "Goth" culture in Blue Springs, Mo.
• $249,000 to give each student a laptop computer at Schurz Elementary School in Nevada.
• $150,000 for renovations and infrastructure improvements at the Merry Go Round Playhouse in Auburn, N.Y.

I don't mind money spent to keep our power, water, communication, and road infrastructures operating at peak efficiency. I'm all for keeping our military well armed, well fed, well trained and well paid so they can protect the rights of the hand-wringing, bed-wetting, snivelling liberals. People, we have military personnel who have to get supplemental income to augment the piss-poor pay they receive so they can make ends meet. There are almost as many casualties from equipment failure as there are from hostile engagements, because their materiel is decrepit.

I'm sick of seeing our illustrious government pissing away our money to welfare nations who take their welfare check with one hand while burning our flag with the other. I'm disgusted when I hear about our elderly retirees (after working their whole lives) having to decide whether to starve in a warm house or freeze with a full belly. Al Gore crowed about how he would put Soc.Sec. in an "iron-bound lock box". It always has been, the trouble is that there are 540 keys to the box. This means that Soc.Sec. is just another tax to put more money into the pork-barrel.

My Lord tells me to "...Render therefore unto Caesar what is Caesar's, and unto GOD what is GOD's." GOD only asks for 10%, quite reasonable. Caesar demands over 50%!!!

40% of the U.S. population CAN'T support 60% of the world.
