We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.
Obama and the cadre of lefties now running the country aren't proposing that they lift themselves up by the handle, they are proposing that someone else does it.
Liberals always want someone else to do the work and pay the taxes. That is why Obama can't find any Democrat to work in the government who actually has paid all her/his taxes.
