I guess it could be scary, in time.
Pre-Socialism? An introduction into a social system, where the means of producing & distributing goods are owned collectively & political power is exercised by the masses.
Resolved? My feet itch.
I agree, totally scary. We're already halfway there, by the way Glenn Beck & Limbaugh see it. So what's that look like, actually?
ummm, ok....so maybe we're not halfway there yet. But I know we're moving in the direction where people are siphoning off more from the Federal government that they're contributing...in fact, one state in particular has a nasty trend in that direction:
Fucking socialists.

HA!! Funny that little details like these get "lost" in the general debate over just how much money those free-spending liberals are wasting now. Thanks for re-finding the numbers! You might want to let O'Reilly and the rest of the "fair and balanced" crew know that they missed a couple of stats in their reporting.
2005 data, like to see the 2010 projected?
Just wait, the nexted adder to the equation process, Amesty, a general pardon to our folks 8-12+ million,,,, (south of the border) ''they'' do have good taco's).
Load the busses, lets vote.
Let' see now, Mexico's biggest revenue is $$$ being sent over from workers in the USA? Can you say western union or cancun? Did some one leave the gate open?
Most recent data available, according to the Tax Foundation. Feel free to track down some details of your own. Not that Alaska has been a slouch- still #1 in 2008 in terms of pork barrel spending (would that be wasteful government spending?) Best I can tell the latest figures show Alaska receiving $506 per capita in federal earmarks (as opposed to $18.70 in Arizona; credit to McCain where it is due). As for Palin's request's specifically, she actually DID lower the amount of her own earmark requests - from $254M in '07 to $200M in '08. Or, in other words, from $430 per capita waaaay down to $333. Way to 'reign in the earmarks', Governor!
In comparison, your state of Texas (condolences) requested just $34 per person in 2007. How's that make you feel about $arah's conservative credentials? If sucking at the Government teat was a sport, Alaska would be All-Pro MVP while Texas is riding the JV bench (I LOVE Palin's sports analogies!)
