I never voted to spend one penny of Social Security money.

Remember, politicians get votes by promising everything to everyone, always at the expense of some other invisible taxpayers.

People should not be able to vote to take away the rights of others.

The American people are sick and tired of Washington and the people who have been in charge have been passing all these bills and I've been voting no all of the time and vote no on these appropriation bills.

Why is it is claimed that if people won't or can't take care of their own needs, that people in government can do it for them?

If you like small government you need to work hard at having a strong national defense that is not so militant. Personal liberty is the purpose of government, to protect liberty - not to run your personal life, not to run the economy, and not to pretend that we can tell the world how they ought to live.

No matter what politicians promise, Social Security reform will not change the fact that your money is taken from your paycheck and sent to Washington, where it will be spent.
