I completely agree with you and I am a former Democrat. I do not want government controlling my life and I look to no one for my needs other than me and God. I believe in working hard for what you want...it's not how much money you make, but it's what you do with it. The American people are slowing losing all of their rights in every aspect and they don't even see it happening. No, we do not need more government programs. The more handouts the government gives you, the more they control you...duh!
