[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1065290, member: 24302"] First off it's not stealing if they are offering money to leave. It benefits them too, and after many years of hard work call it just due for services rendered. Secondly if I were in the same room with Smith, Limbaugh, Hannity et al I'd be more than happy to tell them some of what they espouse is wrong, for what good it would do. But I support the Republican Party because I believe in hard work, I believe in personal responsibility, I believe in limited government, I believe in the right to life for every unborn child(with abortion only for rape and incest and then only in the very early stages of pregnancy), I believe in the sanctity of marriage between a man and woman, I believe in public religious expression, and I believe in U.S. exceptionalism. In spite of it's flaws I believe the U.S. is a force for good in the world, and we've made great contributions to the world in technology, medicine, and our willingness to fight to preserve order and decency in the world. As a whole I don't see the Democrat party representing these values, and for me these values are more important than whether I do as well financially as some do. If they make their living dishonestly I truly believe they'll answer for it someday but what matters to me now is what I do, not what they do. When I was a kid I dreamed of making millions and giving it away as fast as I made it. It meant a lot to me to help others in need. Obviously a kid's dreams are usually unobtainable, but I still have a chance to spend my income in a third world nation and possibly do someone some good, so I'm leaving as soon as I can to do just that. A drop in the bucket for sure, but better than to stay here making someone who doesn't need it wealthier. A life spent buying the latest toy, living in more house than I need, driving the hottest car, and feeling my life is incomplete because I can't do such things is a wasted life in my opinion. If that's what fuels someone's anger toward those who do better then one should take a long look in the mirror and reassess one's values. If you want a better world it has to start with you first.
