Has shared his birthday with the tax man all his life?
No wonder he hates government.
I don't hate government. I hate the idea of 60% of the population
working
for
the government, while the other 40% draw welfare.

Stop pulling numbers from your rear end. While the US gov't is the
biggest
employer, both state and fed gov'ts combined employ about 8%. If you
add
the
Post Office, it bumps it up slightly (add 2 million). If you add
education,
it ends up about 17% or so.
Here are two links. Feel free to ignore them.

Those are old numbers.
Fact is, working non-government signifigant tax paying people are a
minority in the USA and Canada. That is why they are enslaved tax
servants of the majority.
The number I have is of those paying more than $3000 in taxes, not
working
for government and currently employed is about the 100M mark.
So 230M people outvote the working tax slave by over 2:1.
Now that tells us why losers, debtors and government realy want to screw
he working taxpayer.

The Liberal way, take no responsibility.
You're an idiot. John claimed that 60% are "working for the government."
That's complete hogwash. Taxes have gone DOWN under Obama. Feel free to
continue to make a fool out of yourself.
Agreed if that was the case. It isn't 60%. But it is 1 in 7 of working
class, excluding those on welfare etc. But if you add in businesses that
survive because of goverment bloat, could be 1 in 5. That is a pretty
high load.
Fact is, less than 1/3 of the population is contributing economic wealth.
The reset are not.
But if you said 60% would get global government health care benefits but
not actively contribute to government health care, you would be about
right, or perhaps a little low. Which is why Obamanomics will fail.
Taxes haven't gone down unless you lost a job and now have one that pays
less thus less taxes. That isn't something Obama wants made public.
Take this chart:
http://portalseven.com/banks/Failed_Banks_List_2010.jsp
When Obama should have raised interest rates to reflect more income for
risk to the banks, he lowered them. Well, it crashes the banks. Self
induced by government liberal debt-money management.
Lets face it, all the Obama BS in the world isn't going to change what has
happened. Workers are getting sucked dry from fat government.

Time to ask ask, is our government serving us or are we serving the
government?
You're all over the map. Stick to the subject. You're claiming there's some
huge percentage of gov't workers (or John is and you're following). That's
complete bs.
No, it is not. Was reading it from the government web site of all
places. Go read it for yourself. The fact is somewheres about or less
than 30% of the people work in a non-government job and pay any
signifigant amount of taxes. 1/7 or someting like that work for civic,
state, federal governemnts.
The balance is government, welfare, unemployed, children, retired low
income and the like.
Part of why Obama is going broke is not increased spending but the
revenue drop associated with lower wages, unemployment and businesses
losing money don't pay taxes. Add governemnt increases in corruption
bailout, you add up to $1.7 trillion deficits being added to the 30%
that pay for it. Pretty high load, certainly not sustainable.
You're full of it wrt to taxes. Even Palin got it right. She just couldn't
understand that taxes were higher under Bush, so she claimed 100 days is
terrible, and of course she's an idiot also.
As to rest of your post, you're just off the deep end.
Think what you want. You are just a plumper wanting others to pay for it.
