Ear Marks (Pork) vs Increased taxes

Do you, like me, wonder why there is always enough money for high rates of spending such as Ear Marks and or formally called Pork expenditures. How is it that we always have a lot of money in the Treasury to waste on these mostly outrages spending such as bridges to nowhere, the sex life of some creature or another, and on and on. The obvious answer is that our tax dollars are being being used to buy our Congressmen. Our Politicians always seem to have sufficient tax dollars to spend on nonsensical Pork Projects/Ear Marks but never enough to balance it, the budget? I keep wondering, if it is legal for the members of Congress to take the money from our productive citizens, and give it to the inept, incapable to advance their lifestyle, why not just make stealing legal for everyone. Hell could not a bank robber say that he is only taking the money to improve his lifestyle. It seems we, today, have glorified those that take money from some of our citizens to give to some other sector of society are in effect robbers/crooks. This crap about using the money to help the poor is good for the people on the dole, but not bad for those to take the money from the productive side of the equation? Remember for every action there is a reaction. I keep looking in our Nations Constitution to find where it says it is the right of any citizen to "Rob the Rich" to Give to the so called poor. We are the Riches nation in the World so why do we have so many poor. I lived through the Great Depression and it seems to me, in these days of national prosperity, we are turning more and more of our citizens into "Free loaders." Today, we are allowing two classes of citizens to, in effect, steal from our Government, they are Members of Congress and the non-tax paying citizens of this nation. I ask, when did Freedom become a Free ride for the seedy and the greedy. Folks, our Government is creating a class of Citizens Dependency, unlike any other time in our nations history and of course the beat goes on. Do you ever ask yourself, why all the people on the dole, in the great majority, are Democrats. Simple the Democrats are willing to buy their votes buy affording them government largess. It is not wonder, we no longer call them beggars, panhandlers, bums, hobos, and just plain old dregs of society--They are now bought and paid for and members of the Democratic Party. Now I ask you--What Parties Congressmen are all for raising taxes every chance they can. Then ask yourself who benefits from these higher taxes; the Democratic Parties Consistency that pay little or no taxes, but are in effect leaving off the dole--Government Welfare. To say that 40 percent of our citizens are in need of help is ludicrous--go tell this to the people of Africa and other poverty ridden areas of this world! Today, in anticipation of the DNC CONVENTION IN COLORADO--they are now trying to hide this mass of government dependence from the very people that have served to create it!
