Anyway, the money for my colonoscopy, the F-22’s, Warren Buffett’s Social Security, ADM’s ethanol subsidies, Mahmoud Abbas’ Swiss Bank Account, slum housing in Chicago, and yogurt confiscating TSA goons, etc. all has to come from someone and the waitresses and grocery baggers don’t have enough to pay for our Leviathan state.
EITHER SLAY THE BEAST (cut government) or fork over the taxes!

[With the unfunded liabilities, each American owes $184,000.]

Neither do I. What I hate even more is stealing and oppressing the poor via a government backed cartel of bankers. The whole nation, with only a few exceptions, has made looting and controlling others by government proxy their passion. The government is quite happy to have such a central role in every aspect of our lives.

But I’d like to redirect your attention to something more worrying: It seems that your government will be able to keep very close tabs on everyone who will be contributing to Obamacare. They will know to the dollar how much you earn, what you spend it on, who you owe how much to, probably even what you had for breakfast.

Isaiah Chapter 1 verse 23:

“Your rulers are rebels, companions of thieves;
they all love bribes and chase after gifts.”

Or as the French say, plus ca change, c’est le meme chose (the more things change, the more they remain the same!).

Well, the banksters have designed their system to distribute the corruption widely. Fractional reserve banking benefits the banks, of course, (8000+ of those?) plus all borrowers including entrepreneurs at the expense of all dollar holders including the POOR. The system is cleverly designed so that most of us are either victims, victimizers, or both.

For those who take (or should take) the Torah seriously, the Lord takes a dim view of theft and oppression of the poor.

Yes, dear. It is the deserving rich who are the target.

Hey Obama,
Let’s forget progressive income taxes, let’s have progressive WEALTH (property) taxes. Game? Consider it a retroactive, cumulative income tax if you wish. Any wealth accumulated before 1913 to be exempt.

Not content with ruining our own country with one democratic outrage after another, we are being forced to fund overseas democracy-building projects too. Why are we borrowing trillions to institute democracy in the Middle East at gunpoint, when it should be obvious to all that this system of government is destroying our own country at breakneck speed?

I’ve had more than enough democracy to last a lifetime. It’s past time to call this experiment the abysmal failure that it is and return to the limited government constitutional republic that we once had. It would mean a vastly smaller government and an end to the American empire, but that’s the price of living in a free society.

If the government confined itself to Article 1 Section 8 powers and avoided stationing troops all over the planet, the level of government spending would be so small as to make the debate (on WHOM too tax) moot. Naturally, with a 4 TERABUCK federal government (and the states make it around 40% of GDP), one has to either borrow, print, and tax at astronomical rates. Consequently, the “rich” have to pay the bloated taxes because, as Willie Sutton once said, that’s where the money is.

How about we all quit looting via the government? Eh?

Bankers first, then maybe we can grow out of this mess in an honest and stable manner.
