As a matter of fact, that is true. The one thing I have got from the government AND did not choose to buy ( not that one could) is the down-turn in the housing market. My net worth is no longer expressed in seven figures.

So, you partake of no services offered by the federal government or the State of Maine? You plan on collecting no Social Security? Were you to be in an accident on the Maine Turnpike, you would reject ambulance services or the assistance of the State Police? Etc.?

The libertarian icon Ayn Rand in spite of ranting against government and proselytizing the stand alone independent self centered ego dominated pristine individual received social security and medicare.

During the Neut revolution many conservatives pledged to run for only one term Guess what, many of them are still in Congress.

Hypocrisy rules on the far right.

Ayn Rand was also in favor of abortion, because she said that an unborn baby was a parasite, because it couldn't live without its host (mother).

But the far right ignores that part of her.

YOU do not direct what I plan or do not plan to do.
I wilfully do not partake of services offered by the federal government or the State of Maine. ( if I have a choice)
note: The Maine Turnpike Authority does not provide ambulance services nor does the Maine State Police. ( you should do your research before you embarrass yourself publically)
Furthermore, a "wagon rider" is not someone that uses services, but someone that PLANS on services in eccess of what they pay for or could do for themselves. Or better said," they take more out of services than they put in." ie: Some, not of their doing, are un-employed while others plan on being un-employed.

I haven't "publically" embarassed myself. If an hypothetical question intended to make a point (i.e., the one about the ambulance services) is the equivalent of public embarrassment, then every person who has ever had a serious discussion is walking around red as a beet.

As for directing what you "plan or do not plan to do," I ended each sentence with a question mark. Thus, they were not directives.

Finally, as for your definition of "wagon-riders," now one wonders what in the world you meant by adding it to my quote in your earlier post. It makes no sense in the context of what I wrote.

This clip from "The Town" was played at the Republican caucus to stoke up opposition to the democrats prior to the debt cap negotiations.

I give them credit for honesty: they do hurt people.

Wagon Riders take note:
This is a INSULT, a KICK in the butt, a SLAP in the face, a KNIFE in the back to all of us...

Get mad and pass it on - I don't know how, but maybe some good will come of this travesty.

If the immigrant is over 65, they can apply for SSI and Medicaid and get more than a
woman on Social Security, who worked from 1944 until 2004.

She is only getting $791 per month because she was born in 1924.
It is interesting that the federal government provides a single refugee with a monthly allowance of $1,890.
Each can also obtain an additional $580 in social assistance, for a total of $2,470 a month.

This compares to a single pensioner, who after contributing to the growth and development of America for 40 to 50 years, can only receive a monthly maximum of $1,012 in old age pension and Guaranteed Income Supplement..

Maybe our pensioners should apply as refugees !

Consider sending this to all your American friends, so we can all be ticked off and maybe get the refugees cut back to $1,012 and the pensioners up to $2,470Then we can enjoy some of the money we were forced to submit to the Government over the last 40 or 50 or 60 years.

Do you feel better about yourself for your lame attempt at insulting me, despite the complete lack of content in your post?
