A recent poll conducted by Rasmussen Reports reveals that 66% of U.S. voters favor lower taxes along with a smaller government that provides fewer services. The poll also found that 88% of Republicans like a smaller government.
Only 22% of the respondents want a government with more services and higher taxes. Eleven percent wasn’t sure.
As Rasmussen Reports states,
The latest survey was conducted a little over a week after the president detailed his plan, for winning – and ending – the war in Afghanistan in a speech at West Point. Fifty-three percent (53%) of voters support his plan to send another 30,000 troops to Afghanistan, and nearly as many (47%) support his plan to begin withdrawing troops from that war-torn country in 18 months. But put them together, and overall support for the plan falls to 37%.

If you had your way, would you have people starve and die of diseases if there were no taxes?
Just curious of what people like you, who think a fake utopia would work, would do with homeless, poor, and diseased people who are able to live a somewhat normal life because of taxes and the programs they support.
Capitalism does not work 100% of the time. Anyone with a basic eduication in economic history knows that. But Republican never address this issue, they only pontificate as if it would work.
How aboiut abortion? What would you do if it were illegal....throw pregnant women in jail?? Again, I am looking for a serious answer to my questions.
Do you think you should bot have to fund things you do not agree with? Why would you think this? I have to pay for church-run rehab program and foreign wars? Why should you not have to pay for abortion? (a legal procredure by the way)
This is not news, everyone wants lower taxes. says:

What a STUPID deduction. Just like if you do not believe man is the cause of GW they must also want dirty air and water.
Thus the demonization of those disagree with the minority.

And just WHAT economic model has ever worked better?
Hey "This is not news" commenter: WORK ON YOUR SPELLING. "education" not "eduication" and "about" not "aboiut."
