I agree that people employed by the government spend money and put some of our own money back into the economy but I don't pay taxes so Gov. employees can stimulate the economy. I dont know about the rest of you guys, but I pay taxes so my friends and my family are safe from foreign and domestic enemies, so I can travel around this great country a little easier (roads, planes...), have people to help me in extreme emergencies, among other things. I absolutely do not want to pay more taxes so more of us have less freedom and a larger Government. I was stating that the Gov. has no basis for creating new jobs because they are not a company, so they should attempt (at a Federal level) to minimize increases in ANYTHING not absolutely essential, which inevitably increases the tax and financial burden on the general public to support it.
