How about if you want to “stand” with somebody, you, not the taxpayers, pay for it? In a free country (purely hypothetical, no such thing actually exists) you can send your money wherever you want, but cannot compel anyone else to do so. From Eric Peters at ericpetersautos.com:
Groucho Marx said he’d never be a member of a club that would allow him to join. I feel the same way about the Uniparty – which is the only party we’re allowed to join, apparently.
One part of it “stands” with Ukraine – by which is meant you and I must be made to hand over our money (via the taxes we’re forced to pay as the price of being allowed to live) to finance the handing over of war material to a corrupt foreign regime in order to empower that regime to engage in a war we want no part of.
The other part wants the same, of course.
It just “stands” with a different corrupt foreign regime.
This business is of a piece with the way the Uniparty-ites both “stand” for the same thing as regards forcing others to pay for the other things they each think the other ought to be forced to pay for.
The part that “stands” with Ukraine also “stands” with the notion that everyone ought to be forced to buy health insurance; the part that “stands” with Israel thinks everyone ought to be forced to buy the “services” of what is styled “law enforcement,” which it venerates with almost-canine affection. Don’t touch my Social Security – but screw those EBT moochers! More (of other people’s) money for “the schools”! More (of other people’s money) for “defense.”
Neither part of the Uniparty “stands” with the idea of keeping their hands out of other people’s pockets and leaving people alone – either at home or abroad. The busybody-ism is as relentless as it is expensive
Why is that?
