I am quite happy enough to give a little, save a little and live within my means.

Hey, most of the best things in life are free anyway, yes?

Sounds like you got yours brother! Got compassion? Got milk? Luke 10:27

I'm happy too. And I'm certainly not angry at anybody. But I disagree with how money influences politics and politicians in such a way that the voices of a few can drown out the voices of many.

yes but you aren't giving a little. what you are "giving" is really being forcefully taken from you. and given to fund wars and wellfare, oh and the 1% of course

No, I am really talking about my personal giving, where I have control as to who or what I give to...

May not be much but I kinda enjoy doing it......

I think your refering to taxes to which I say one man one vote.

Use your right to vote.

Forcefully? We live in a democracy that does a pretty good job of responding to what we want. We started both of those wars because the majority of Americans wanted it. We have taxation WITH representation, not money being "forcefully" taken from us.

it is by force, they show up with guns and no force of law on the books

No government agent has ever shown up with guns to take my money illegally, sorry. You're starting to sound a little like a Tea Party patriot.

just look it up, don't take my word for it

Don't worry I'm definitely not taking your word for anything. We live in a democracy. Try participating in it some time. Only 24% of eligible voters age 18-29 voted in the 2010 mid-term elections, which enabled the Tea Party's wins. Were you one of the 24%?
