You mean the GOP "steal less of your money' bill?
Why would you want them to steal MORE of your money?
If you have too much money you can transfer it to me....

My belief is taxes are what we pay as a part of a functioning society. I also believe the government is the most efficient way to distribute money to my fellow Americans that need help. But that’s just me :)

how odd...you used the word 'government and efficient' in the same sentence.
Have you ever been in the army?
what is this 'functioning society' you speak of when liberals go out at night and scream at the moon..?

No I have not, but my Father and all my Uncles have. I agree that our government could be way more efficient and cost effective, but they are still MORE EFFICIENT than free market in many categories such as health care, tax audit and collection, education, childcare, etc. This is proven by the cost and result of public options vs private.
As for the link you posted, what’s your point? People do dumb things on both sides of the isle... instead of looking at mind wasting news perhaps look at how society and organization of society has benefited us as a whole; longer lives, increased education, easier access to resources, etc. All we can do is keep striving to be better as a whole; what do you envision a functioning society as?

yah think?
I envision a functional society as the free market....it works every time it's been tried.
Socialism has FAILED every time IT has been tried.

I’m not advocating straight up socialism, I’m advocating a stronger safety net for the US.
You name Venezuela as a failure but here are some successes; France, Germany, UK, Italy, Netherlands, etc all have strong social safety nets, and are all fine.
Since you name a straight up Socialist nation as a failure please name a completely free market society that has succeeded; I bet you can’t. I’m just going to leave this here for you...

.I've corresponded with folks from all of those places...they wouldn't agree. In fact many of them if not ALL of them would LOVE to come to the USA.
a free market society that succeeded?
sure.
The United States between 1850 and 1911
worked just fine until it was regulated.
certainly i agree to disagree with you...you are WRONG.
