	I am surprised that anyone of a conservative or libertarian bent
would make this kind of statement.  It is not, my friend, the government
that pays the bills -- it is you and I and all of the other taxpayers that
pays the bills.  The government, in its infinite goodness, has lifted the
money from your pocket with one hand and returned it with the other (taking
a percentage in the process.)  When they hand it back they tell you what
you can do with your money that they are giving you.
