we have men and woman all over the country fighting for our freedom. well will someone please tell me where the freedom is? i am being told i cant smoke anywher (but someone can get drunk and drive and kill someone) i cant gamble in my state (but the lottery and bingo is ok). i have to pay taxes(but there is no law written for that) the taxes pay for the president and congress and senate and so on and so on but i cant never speak to any of them. the real disabled people cant get help (but someone on drugs or a drunk can get a free check and foodstamps) the poor elderly cant get help(but the rich ones can get tax breaks if they own a home). ok people tell me please whats wrong with this picture? where is my freedom? am i wrong? tell me what you think. just to let you know also i dont and never will blame all of this on bush (he did a lot)but not all if it.

Sounds like you've tried to get some help lately. It's the pits. The ones who don't try to get ahead are the ones that get all the help. If you try to better yourself and run into problems, then try to get help, they don't want to give it. It is wrong, we have freedoms, and we have privileges. The idea is not to abuse them. Drink and driving are abusing them. Smoking around others who prefer you not to are abusing the other persons right to breathe clean fresh air. Gambling should be up to the individual. I gamble by trying to make money on the internet. Occasionally I have to invest in order to earn. You've got four real good tax breaks on the way. The only problem with the child tax break is they take it away the last year they are in high school or 17. That's usually the year that cost the most. Graduation, pictures, prom and ect. Enjoy your tax break while it last. It's not a perfect world and it can never be. Not this world anyway.

yes i did try and get some help. my stove broke and i went to see if someone could get me a stove i found a used one for 50 bucks and i cant get any help. i have never asked anyone for anything. when my fridge broke i didnt bother i just got my cooler out and am using it. but i need my stove but hey its ok i see they want to help the people that really can do for themselves and are to lazy to do it. so i will wait for 2 months and get a stove i guess.

Its called a beaurocracicy (excuse the spelling). There are lots of idiots in charge, put there because the people who hired them don't want to admit they hired an idiot. Then the idiots hire more. Until the intelegent people join together to break the chain the system will continue to get worse.
