By McCain's definition we must already be a socialist country

John McCain, hanging on as tightly as ever to that "spread the wealth" tightrope, said in a recent rally that spreading the wealth...taking from one group to give to another...is something other countries do, not this country. While McCain continues to keep the subject tightly focused on refunds, let's not forget some other examples of taking from one group (the taxpayers) and giving to another. This is by no means a complete list of other groups your tax dollars support: The Social Security Administration The Veterans Administration Veterans Health Administration Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) United States Department of Agriculture Armed Forces Retirement Home Army Corp of Engineers United States Census Bureau Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Central Intelligence Agency Coast Guard Department of Defense Department of Education Department of Health and Human Services Department of Homeland Security Department of Housing and Urban Development Environmental Protection Agency Federal Aviation Administration Federal Communications Commission Federal Student Aid Food and Drug Administration Internal Revenue Service Treasure Department Missile Defense Agency NASA National Guard National Institutes of Health National Transportation Safety Board Occupational Safety and Health Administration Peace Corp Railroad Retirement Board Small Business Administration Special Education and Rehabilitative Services The idea that the taxes one person pays goes only to those who do not pay taxes in the form of refunds, that it is unfair and unAmerican to pay taxes, is ridiculous so I thought I'd put things in a little clearer perspective. In our next class we will focus on how Joe Sixpack won't be able to afford that liver transplant he'll eventually need because that $5,000 credit won't be nearly enough and no insurance company will touch him.
