My fellow Americans, how about we show real power and have a day without the American Taxpayer?

If you truly lived in Mexico for two years you would know that the parks, museums, and libraries are HUGE TOURIST ATTRACTIONS!!! Maybe you should have taken the time to learn a little bit of the language, it would have gotten you farther.  I have been to panama, Venezuela, Argentina, Colombia, so what is your point?  Some of these countries have socialized health care, 4 weeks vacation for their workers, and pension plans.  That is why those who can make it there, stay there.  \n\nBut those who come here, are the ones to build the schools, libraries, road constructions you are talking about, and then they clean them as well.  \n\nThe taxpayer is making their contribution to their own way of life, - I know I am.  So then if you want to go on strike from contributing, you obviously want to cut off your nose to spite your face.

You should call your Federal, State & local politicians and let them know that if they can't do their jobs.  Americans will vote them out of office and put someone in their place that can to the job!\n\nAs for your neighbor next door.  Change your locks so his anchor babies can't get in.  Give them a rude awakening that the FREE RIDES are over and that they'll be going on a deportation vacation.

I believe a day of reckoning is soon at hand.  How much can the American people take?  We get attacked and condemned when we help others.  We are taxed to death and give billions to governements that squander our money.  Anyone can come into this country and get treated better than a citizen.  One of the next times any terrorists attack us, watch a backlash.  Personally, I am in favor of putting a wall around our nation and keeping everyone out.  Any nation or people that attack or condem us, gets nothing from us.  Let the terrorists kill each other.  Keep our tax dollars here and take care of our citizens who are hungry and need medical care.  If anyone sneaks into our country throw them back to where they came from.  If they do it a second time. shoot them.  I am tired of our nations being a patsy.

Meh. That's why we should all keep screaming UNCONSTITUTIONAL!!!! Not just in Yahoo answers, but in SIGNED letters to the editor, comments on other Internet forums, at the PTA meetings, while talking to the mom sitting next to you at your kids' basketball game....\n\nUp the volume, and it'll be harder to track down any single person....\n\nand MAYBE, just MAYBE, we'll end up convincing enough citizens that neoconservatism, the Religious Right, "war on terror" and "the war on drugs" etc...are all parts of  the biggest scam in American history, and we'll work together to get our country back.

Do you really think the US beaurocrats and politicians would allow that to happen?  We aren't a super power because we sit back and twiddle our thumbs while others beat us out on something.  We'd find some reason to sanction them long before they surpassed us.

Not for years.  But we will have congressional oversight! Lets see the congressional hearings, committees, and House and Senate investigations get started.  I think it is time to sort things out and see some accountability.   Maybe rolling back the tax cuts on the top ten percent of American tax payers as well as the corporate welfare is a good place to begin.   Work is cut out for us.

This is not there country no matter how you twist and turn the facts.  They need to go back home and try to get in the right way like everyone else.  I'm sick and tired of paying taxes to support them and trust me - we do support them!

Great idea.. sue the government for diverting tax dollars to non-citizens through medicaid, food stamps, welfare, public schools.  It may be the only way to address the problem.  Until we take away all these reasons to invade this country, the problem will get worse.  Their effect on wages (just look at the unchanged minimum) has been devastating.

Very well said. If we Americans took the day off, then the illegals would not have anywhere to buy beer, gas, or any opportunities to gawk at us American women. I garuntee that might aid in causing them to go back to their homeland.

Bravery allows one  to speak as such ......I agree with you wholeheartedly.... but as long as the federal government continues to shirk it's duty in regards to immigration reform... I am afraid that the Americans will not leave the "illegal" alone because they feel that current law gives them the privilege and the right to continue to oppress and down trod the illegal immigrant

The American public can demand all it wants.  It is Congress who must take such action and such action is highly unlikely given the balance of political power.

"My fellow Americans, Tomorrow thousands of Government Bureaucrats will receive pink slips as I am eliminating the department of housing and urban development and the department of education.  In one swoop of a pen I will save the government millions and improve education in America.  Later today I will sign the Fair Tax bill into law, eliminating the income tax and all other pay role taxes and the Internal Revenue Service enacting a Federal sales tax to be enforced by the states.  This act will eliminate vast amounts of government waste and bring power back to the citizens of the country.  \n\nI look forward to bringing you a government that will bring you more liberty and take less from you, giving you more responsibility and freedom to live as you choose, a government of the people and for the people.  I believe as Thomas Jefferson did that 'he who governs least, governs best'"

No.  You do that on your own time.  What, you want to be paid to perform your civic duty too?  Jeesh.  The polls are open till 7.  Make time and stop making excuses.

Bring our troops home and actually concentrate on our own country. We still have the Gulf states devastation to clean up before it hits again. We still have kids goin to bed everynight starving. We still have homeless people in this country that were in Vietnam and cant get a job. We still have a gov't out to take our freedoms away from us. and why would comment from non americans be welcomed. They should mind their own business just like america should mind its own business.
