i cant see the poll
It should be viewable now.
When gov't power is abused, demanding income redistribution, rather than providing infrastructure and services for all, that is tyranny. When I choose to help my neighbor in need, then that is charity; when the gov't forces me to help your neighbor in need, then that is tyranny. When I am expected to pay for ALL of my own food, clothing and shelter and also forced, by the gov't, to help pay for the food, clothing and shelter for another able bodied citizen, that is tyranny.
That military sure is tyrannical.
Which of the preceding is more emphatic of tyranny?
When I choose to help my neighbor in need, then that is charity; when the gov't forces me to help your neighbor in need, then that is tyranny.
I honestly chuckled at this. In other words: "When the government forces me to be nice, it's tyranny!" - From the makers of such memorable lines as "empathy gave us the Holocaust" and "pepper spray is just seasoning".
Man...why do people feel it necessary to say they can't see the poll? You don't make the poll when you post the thread. You have to post the OP *first* and then you get to go to the page where you select what kind of poll it is, type in the questions, etc. Jesus man give an OP some time to think about what they're doing. Your post was only 3 minutes after the OP was posted. Calm down. Damn.i cant see the poll

I'm sorry man, there's a just a lot of polls out there who's first page is ****ed up by someone complaining that they can't see the poll. Well no **** you can't see it, because it's still being made, so calm your tits.May be she's never posted a poll, so she doesn't know how it works.
I'd personally prefer to type the poll first and OP second, so they can appear at the same time but I guess the software doesn't allow this operation.

So any tax dollars that go to things that don't directly benefit you fall under tyranny definitions?
Tax dollars spent on education, schools, roads, hospitals, and general infrastructure are bad if they are things you don't use?
If you don't have kids but some of your tax dollars are spent on schools that's wrong?
If roads you never travel on are repaired, or built using tax dollars you pay into that's wrong?
If you fell on super hard times and where homeless and hungry you would not accept any help from the government?
Not even if it meant you could feed your children or provide them with a "safer" place to sleep for the night?
Come on man.....sometimes black & white thinking is very unrealistic.
Where is the "...when power is held by few. I'm socialist." option?
First of all, we have a constitution that defines limitted federal gov't powers, education and schools are not among those. The construction and maintanence of the interstate highway system is supposed to be funded by the $0.42 federal excise tax on motor fuels, the rest supported by state taxation. I never said that I was against public infrastructure, but that is FAR different from sending out "non-pay" checks to individual citizens, by name, based primarily on attaining complete non-productive status AND producing children that they are not able to support.
For those that "fall on hard times", as you term it, now a STEADY 12% to 15% of our population, we can NOT afford to spend an average of over $7,500/year on EACH of them. There is a HUGE difference in building and maintaining public "infrastructure" and supporting a permanent gov't dependent underclass. Please allow charity to return to a private function, as 85% of our population has the right to CHOOSE who they decide to help, not have the gov't "make the call". Every attempt at reform of this gov't madness that passes for "a hand up" but is, in fact, "a hand out" and harms this nation by telling folks that it is OK not to support yourselves, you have a right to gov't support, is met with resistance; it is not "fair" to make them remain sober, it is not "fair" to expect them to get a FREE K-12 education and it is not "fair" to restrict their ability to reproduce like bunnies and then use those very children as reason for "compassion".
If you have a pet that you can not (or will not) provide with food and proper care, the pet is removed to a shelter and you are charged with a crime and fined; if you have a child that you can not (or will not) provide with food and proper care, you are handed a gov't check and rewarded for that careless act, being told that it is not your fault, that you have no NEED to seek private charity, or make some serious changes in your life, it is somehow simply your right to taxpayer support. Is that insane or what?
