Would you give up your favorite government program if you never had to pay income tax

[Jeremy]

This was a good question Linda Goldthorpe, a RP supporter running for congress ( http://www.lindagoldthorpe.com/ ), asks on her site and I decided to make it a poll here too.

favorite government program? wtf are you talking about? All i want from the government is a strong military and freedom. fuck these programs.

Edit: in response to to some replies: NASA is crucial to our national defense and military (this is ron paul's stance) and is not some program we'd like to have but don't need.

I can't think of any program the federal government runs that benefits me.

 

[freedom-maniac]

I'd say NASA is my favorite, but no since some major companies have began developing programs, we don't need it any more.

I think the question is mostly for people who aren't all about really small government like us, lol

 

[Xenophage]

I have no favorite "programs." So... uh....

 

[Wyurm]

I said yes, but I have no favorite government program

 

[FSP-Rebel]

It's the main question Harry Browne used to ask when he was campaigning in '96 & '00 as the LP nominee.

I don't have a favorite government program. I want them all to go.

I'll elect to pay just half of the income tax I pay now just to get rid of them all.

 

[Dequeant]

Favorite government program? The only thing i want from government is to defend our nation from a military attack by another nation. Every single thing else needs to go.

Federal student aid.

I don't get any special government program.

In theory, you are paying income tax for a service. Once you stop receiving that service, or never have received a service, you start becoming angry and don't want to pay anymore.

Same here.

 

[Dr.3D]

I don't get any special government service, so I can't really give any up.

I just want Uncle Sam to get his stupid hand out of my wallet!

 

[TSOL]

GOVERNMENT sucks.

Privatize all of it.

 

[tekmo]

Nothing the government has done has really benefited me.

 

[joelmatton]

I would continue driving on government roads, and I would continue using government water (i.e. tap water). So whatever programs build the roads and handle the water and sewers, I would not give up those. Although I guess I could have my own water tank, depending on where I lived.

 

[merrimac]

The question should be "would you give up your least hated government program..." cause favorite means there's a part that I like.

 

[Steve4RP]

Yes I would...and I'm hooked on that free government surplus cheese.
