Though it's impossible to tell on a public forum, and I'm sorry for not being clear -- I was talking to Fen.
As for the rest of your post, I've heard the "I'm a taxpayer" rhetoric many times before...in short (and bluntly), I don't care so much anymore, so I apologize for not replying. Usually I would, with some points you'd agree with and a bunch more that fall on deaf ears...but I don't have the patience...

I'm not upset man.. seriously. I am all good. I have my opinions, my morals, and my principles. You have yours, I just thought I was being called a blind thinker, and I am anything but.
But a question to you: Why is calling myself a tax payer, dismissed as simple rhetoric? When it is the truth. I am in fact a member of the 53% of American's who actually pays federal income taxes.
The reason why this country runs such a high deficit each year, and the national debt is so high, is because just like you said: people just "don't care so much anymore". Too many people dismissing fiscal responsibility, and keeping the same old corrupt politicians (both parties) around.
Look I am not claiming to be some political genius, or smarter than the CEO of GM or other companies. I am just someone who sees a path we are on, and can put two and two together. It won't always be a utopia of printing and overspending, with no repercussions.
I hope we are all good, but dismissing my thoughts as simple rhetoric, is sort of asking for a response don't ya think? After all we are engaged in a discussion, or so I thought.
